I'm picking up a 2022 Lariat today. Apologies that I didn't search heavily yet on the threads and I'm sure these questions have been answered before. I had a plug in Prius over 10 years ago with a Bosch charging station (gave the Bosch to a friend).

1. Which charging option should I get for my garage? The Ford Connected Charge Station, Ford Charge Station Pro, or just the 240v Mobile Power Cord, speaking of, does this come with the vehicle? And will the 240v cord plug into a standard 240v dryer outlet? Our electrical panel is at the end of our garage so in an optimal location I think and the dryer is just a few feet beyond that.
2. I'm using the Ford 'find a charging station' tool on the website and some stations show 'Free' charging. What does 'Free' mean?
3. My friend has a Tesla and says the Ford cannot charge at Tesla charging stations. Is there some sort of adapter the Ford can use?

Yes, there are multiple threads on these topics.

It’s your truck coming with chargers? If not there are better options than the Ford ones

Free charging is exactly that.

You can’t charge on Tesla Superchargers (DCFC) but can charge at Tesla Destination Chargers (L2) for free with an

Tesla charging adapter

It may not be the most helpful for other tesla but it'll be helpful to use for Lightning owners coming across Tesla wall connectors. Nope. What you're thinking of is a Tesla Tap. It goes from a Tesla charger to a J-1772 that does into a Lightning...

I am very happy with the simplicity and the app of the Chargepoint Home Flex been a great charger!

If you are just getting started, there are best practices for installing chargers and outlets that are coming together.

Just watched this great video you should watch before doing hiring someone to do your install.

Here's the TL;DW:

I was a first time EV owner when I got mine. Spending hours and hours ahead of time searching forums and watching YouTube has helped me tremendously to understand battery care, charging setup that’s best for me, tech in the trucks, etc. Highly recommend putting in the time — well worth it!
