How do you charge a Ford Kuga hybrid?

To charge a Ford Kuga hybrid, you can use different methods and charging points. Here’s a detailed guide on how to charge your Ford Kuga hybrid:
Charging Methods and Time
– Charging Time: The estimated time to charge a Ford Kuga from empty to full is approximately 3 hours and 54 minutes using a typical 7kW home charging point. However, most drivers “top up” their PHEV, so charging times are often much shorter.
– Charging Cable: The Kuga Plug-In Hybrid comes with one EV home charging cable as standard. Additionally, a Ford Connected Wallbox, EVBox+ Elvi Wallbox, is available for faster home charging. This is an optional accessory, available at additional cost.
– Charging Speed: The Ford Kuga PHEV is capable of both slow and fast charge speeds. Slow charging occurs via a 3-pin-to-Type 2 cable, while fast charging will require a Type 2-to-Type 2 cable, one of which may be included with your vehicle when first purchased. Alternatively, a tethered charger can provide fast charging. The maximum charging speed is limited to 3.7kW.
– Public Charging: By downloading the app, which is powered by NewMotion, and activating the Ford Charge card, you’ll be able to charge your vehicle at more than 150,000 locations across Europe. A public charging cable for the Kuga PHEV is available as an accessory.
Charging Cost and Range
– Electric Cost: The electric cost per mile for the Ford Kuga is approximately 12.20p.
– Range: The Kuga Plug-In Hybrid can return as much as 202mpg. It offers a usable electric range of 35 miles, and the Kuga’s 14.4kWh battery is a good size for a plug-in hybrid like this.
Additional Information
– Charging Port: The charge port of the Ford Kuga is located on the driver front side, and the Kuga uses a Type 2 for fast home and public charging.
– Bi-Directional Charging: The Ford Kuga supports bi-directional charging.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively charge your Ford Kuga hybrid and make the most out of its electric capabilities.
