I install solar and charging stations for a living. There are many threads with discussions about different charging solutions, of which the numbers keep growing.
Ford provided chargers with '22 models, but now we know that at least the mobile cord will not be coming with '23 models. As somebody who has removed and replaced dozens of Ford branded chargers over the last few years, I would urge anyone purchasing a Ford not buy a Ford branded charger. They are expensive, featured deficient and unreliable.
There are a ton of actually really good chargers on the market, and as an installer I have a few favorites that I will refer to people. Best bang for the buck however? I recommend Tesla chargers (EVSEs). The stout 48 amp wall charger is $400. Add the Tesla to 1772 adapter you need for the lightning, and you are still well under Ford's pricing for one of the best EVSEs on the market.
Tesla's 32a mobile cord is the same power as Fords, however will allow you to draw power from literally any outlet in the world (try that with the Ford unit). Those can be purchased directly from Tesla for $200, for a unit far more feature-rich and reliable than Fords at $500.
Another benefit of going this route? You have the Tesla to 1772 adapter already, and can now draw from tens of thousands of free Tesla destination chargers scattered around the country.
