Home charging data after 1,110 miles.

The good news is that 1,102 (honest, car had 8 miles on it) cost me $15.45 (NC Duke-Energy 9.23 cents per kW). No long trips all shopping, eating out, and doctor miles.

• Home EVSE is a Clipper Creek LCS-30p on a 30 amp breaker NEMA 14-30 outlet
• Charging time total at home was 37 hours 59 minutes
• Total kWh 167.35 at home and 22 kWh at EV America Super Charger. Total 189.35 kWh used.
• Home charged at 16.6 miles per hour
• Consumption worked out to be 5.86 miles per kWh (which I think proves 1-Pedal is no joke)
• Connected to charger 14 times

For me this exceeds my expectations. The vehicle I had prior to the MACH-E was an F150 King Range Turbo V6. That amount of mileage would have cost me north of $150. My EcoBoost Premium Mustang fun to drive convertible would have been just over $50

Now for that one weird thing. I have the car set to charge between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Normally I plug it in early evening. And every time about 15 or more minutes after plugging in I get a message that there was a charging fault. Now I think that is the car disconnecting as it waits for 11:00 PM to actually charge. The fact that it is recorded on FordPass as a charing fault is irritating.

In the charging log I would rather see time and kWh rather than percentage, not a big deal.

All in all very pleased. And as is said; your milage my vary!

THIS is what the press needs to print.

You're getting fantastic efficiency...my guess is that you're deciding not to show off too much when the red light turns green?

I have about 2,250 miles and am averaging close to 2.8 mi/kWh, but most of that is on the highway; either road-tripping or commuting. I'm not upset with that, as I knew higher speeds would do that.

To compare my stats with yours, after 2,250 miles I've spent $69 and consumed 910 kWh. That's 553 kWh at home ($0.11/kWh), 220 kWh from Electrify America (covered under my initial 250 kWh allowance), and about 137 kWh from free sources (public charging and various Level 1 plug-ins at the homes of family members).

However, the 910 kWh consumed is not the same as delivered. At home, I'm getting an average of 14% loss* between the meter and the battery (Level 2, ChargePoint 48A charging), and my EA charging appears to have about 6% loss*. so 910 kWh 'consumed' is probably closer to 800 kWh 'delivered'. This adds up, as my trip computer says I'm getting 2.8 mi/kWh so far.

* The losses are based on a comparison between the charger apps (which measure electricity consumed) vs. the FordPass app, which measures battery charge delivered. Unfortunately, the FordPass app doesn't show kWh delivered, so my calcs are probably a bit rough.

Just because I’m a jerk… I’m at 4,300 miles, and have yet to pay a single penny to charge. ?

I haven't paid a penny for my MME's charging either. Construction hasn't started on it yet. ?

You have me beat. I only have 2000 miles on her but like you, have yet to pay a single penny to charge. Unless I take any 270 mile drives, I don't plan on ever spending any money to charge.

I am fortunate in that I have access to a free level 2 charger at work, a free level 2 charger about a mile from my home, and a free level 3 charger about 8 miles from my house. At this point, my plan is to install a charger at home strictly for cabin and battery conditioning through the colder months.

If just cabin and battery conditioning, you probably will be just fine with a 110v 10A or 15A socket you might have already.
It might drain the battery a bit (2kW for heat in middle of winter vs. 1-1.5kW at 110V charging). I don't have the MME yet, so these numbers are guesses.

I have only charged at home only on solar. I don't have any free chargers close to me but like I said, only plan to charge at home unless I take a trip longer than 270 miles.

5.86 MPK on 1100 miles can't be right. There's gotta be some missing pieces in there.

We see that on short stretches sometimes (favorable conditions), but not 1100 miles. Even with just local driving at slow speeds, that just seems like it has to be missing something.

What are your trip meters showing for long term?

How are you computing your KWH of charging at home if you have a clipper creek "dumb" EVSE? Are you looking at the logs in FordPass? Be aware that FordPass ages out the older charging log entries, so unless you recorded them or have had your car for a short period not all the charging entries are there.

At 24A you're drawing 5.7kw, so after 38 hours the total kwh drawn from the grid is roughly 219kwh; assuming a charging loss of 5% to 15% that means you put between 186kwh and 208kwh into the car, so that 167kwh total seems low to me.

5.86 miles per kWh---that is questionable math

Gotta see pics of screen to believe 5.86 mpk. If I baby it I might get 3.6-3.8. I am averaging about 3.4 mpk.

Installed solar system late last year and having fun chasing the sun. Discounting initial capital outlay for the system, really enjoying free sun provided power. Able to charge the car for free. The car is about one month in our possession but it is the beast. So much fun to go by ICE fueling stations and get my utility bill each month.

That's great, but I couldn't get past this line. The initial capital outlay is what it's all about, making it anything but "free". Hard just to discount that. It's kinda like saying "Discounting the $59,000 I paid for the car, it's free now!".

Sorry, that part just struck me as funny.
