We're going to Wrightsville Beach, NC next month. Nervous about driving the Mach-E there. There are three Electrify American stations on the way, it's about 460 miles there. I'll have to stop once on the way.
However, there are not any near the beach from a search. There are several Level 2, free too. But don't really want to hang out for several hours while it charges away from the beach. None are close to our beach house.
The house has washer/dryer, but on 3rd level. Looked at 240v extension cords, are these safe? If I could charge there, it would solve all issues. Our gas vehicle doesn't get great mileage. Although we drive mostly city so average mpg would go up.
I realize this is old hat for some, but it's our first electric. Big part of me just wants to take our gas vehicle, has more room and a more comfortable ride. Stop, pee, get a drink, back on road in 10 mins. Taking a 4 year old, so don't really want to hang out for hours while charging.
Pics of range, pretty similar. Gas vehicle has a 24 gallon tank too... I have never charged anywhere but home. The free 500 of charging is enticing too.
