Is there a 120v outlet in mach e ? I looked in the obvious places in the car and could not able find one.
It feels it should have at least one for a electric vehicle.

I had it in my previous Ford edge and we used it a lot to charge laptop.

There is a 12v "Cigarette lighter" port in the Center console, and at the rear cargo area

It was a genuine question :mad:
I understand, but the comment about the F150 was not. It’s not an F150, it’s not even a truck. There’s no reason to be disappointed when it’s not equipped with the same accessories as a truck.

Yeah. I was expecting at lease one outlet. :(
I too have been disappointed by the lack of any 120V outlet. As far as laptop charging though it has not been a problem. Pretty much all laptops manufactured in the last few years support charging over USB-C, as long as you have a charger that plugs into the 12V outlet in the console and provides Power Deliver (PD) over USB-C. There are a number of units capable of 30W (1.5A @ 20V), I have an Anker and it has worked well enough for me - it charges slowly, especially if the laptop is in use at the same time - there are also 45W options out there but I haven't tried any of them. My minivan has an 120V outlet, but when the car is in motion my laptop's 87W AC adapter/charger which is bulky often falls out, so in the end I use the 30W charger more often.

Every other Ford SUV except the Escape has an option for a built in 120v inverter. I think it's a huge oversight on ours, that and no towing.

All three Ford hybrids we have owned had 120VAC, 150W, outlets. It seems like the MME should have one but that probably depends more on what's on the competition. I don't think Tesla, Chevy, or VW have 120V outlets.

It’s also not an SUV guys. It’s a small cross over utility vehicle. A third decade of the 21st century station wagon. With Mustang styling. I get it that you think there should be a 120v outlet. There isn’t, and that should surprise no one.

As for towing, that’s another issue altogether and is directly related to the fact this is an electric vehicle and has no transmission. That’s going to be the rule, not the exception, as time marches on.
