Ford's  OEM  Electric Vehicle Charger (Ford Part HS7Z-10B706-A)  is a type of portable Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) with cord connector that enables convenient charging of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). This safe, easy-to-use, Level 1 portable charging cordset allows EV owners to charge their vehicles anywhere from an available 120VAC service. The Delphi Portable Electric Vehicle Charger is formally listed as Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment with Underwriters Laboratory Inc. (UL) and Intertek (ETL).

The technology in this high-quality cordset enables a seamless transition between the automotive and residential/commercial environments. This charging system consists of four major components, which together deliver a robust and reliable charge cycle to an electric vehicle.

• ICCB (In-Cable Control Box) — contains charge station technology
• Cable — 20 feet (6 meters) of UL-Type EVJE
• Cord connector — universal SAE J1772 or IEC Type 2 design
• Vehicle inlet — includes wiring to on-board vehicle charger

The system is designed to current industry standards, making it compatible with many battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Benefits

• Complete charging system, designed for both functionality and styling
• Provides convenience, safety and comfort for owners
• User-friendly system plugs into existing electrical infrastructure
• Male plug of charge coupler connector mates directly to a built-in female inlet on vehicle
• EVSE end provides standard, grounded UL grid plug connection to household 120VAC/15A service
• Engineered to provide a robust, reliable charge
• Systems can be customized for global applications based on local supply voltage and grid plug interface

Primary Functions

• Multiple levels of safety for the user, the EV and the charging equipment
• Service ground monitor 
• Charger circuit interrupt device (CCID20) with automatic reclosure
• After a nuisance trip, the unit will self check and resume charging
• LED indicators
• Power (input power present)
• Charging (output power provided to vehicle)
• Power fault (missing/bad safety ground)
• Charging fault (problem on output side, e.g. CCID trip, pilot error)
• Pushbutton-controlled latch for safe and secure connection
• Industry standard compliance, including
• SAE J1772
• UL
• IEC
• FCC
• NEC Article 625
• Outdoor rated (NEMA 4) enclosure
