THE CHARGER (SHORELINE) NEARLY CAUSED A HOUSE FIRE. THE CHARGER OVERHEATS AT THE WALL SOCKET. IT IS NOT THE WALL SOCKET BECAUSE I TRIED IT ON A COMMERCIAL OUTLET ON A NEW 20A CIRCUIT BREAKER. THE ONLINE CHAT ROOMS ARE FULL OF CONCERNS ABOUT THIS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY DID NOT SEEM TO TAKE THE CONCERN SERIOUSLY AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, TURNED OFF AND CHARGING.

DROVE THE CAR DOWN A MOUNTAIN ROAD AND SOMEHOW MANAGED TO REGENERATE 29 MILES ON THE BATTERY. THOUGHT THAT VERY STRANGE AS THE HIGHEST CHARGE OR REGEN ACHIEVED PRIOR TO THIS SHOWED 24 MILES AND DID NOT THINK THE BATTERY COULD HOLD THAT MUCH. RETURNED HOME ABOUT 9:30PM WITH AN EMPTY PLUG-IN CHARGE. AT APPROXIMATELY 9:50PM PLUGGED IN THE CAR FOR CHARGING USING THE 120V FORD PHEV CHARGER SUPPLIED WITH THE VEHICLE. AT APPROXIMATELY 3AM AWOKE SMELLING ELECTRICAL FIRE. FOLLOWED THE SMELL TO THE GARAGE
