CAN I USE JUST A 14/50 PLUG IN MY HOUSE WITH JUST A 60AMP DEDICATED CIRCUIT 220 OUTLET WITH THE CORD CHARGER THAT COMES WITH IT?

Yes, you can use the Ford Mobile Charger, which is rated at 32amps.CAN I USE JUST A 14/50 PLUG IN MY HOUSE WITH JUST A 60AMP DEDICATED CIRCUIT 220 OUTLET WITH THE CORD CHARGER THAT COMES WITH IT?
I was going to (did) the exact same thing, but then someone pointed out that the 14/50 plug is rated for a max of 50amps. Although you are only using a 32amp charger, the 60 amp breaker apparently exceeds the rating for the 14/50, so I swapped out the 60amp to a 50.CAN I USE JUST A 14/50 PLUG IN MY HOUSE WITH JUST A 60AMP DEDICATED CIRCUIT 220 OUTLET WITH THE CORD CHARGER THAT COMES WITH IT?
Correct - the 32A Ford travel charger should use a 50A breaker.I was going to (did) the exact same thing, but then someone pointed out that the 14/50 plug is rated for a max of 50amps.

My original thought was to install the 60 amp breaker incase I wanted to upgrade to the Ford Connected Charger. That way I would just have to remove the outlet to hardwire the Connected Charger.
I have my dealer's demo home for the weekend, so I am going to try the Mobile Charger tonight
