  1. Maintaining 12V While Camping

    I will definitely take my mobile charger, but a very small percentage of the 60,000 campers will have electricity and they are paying dearly for that amenity. But hey, I have something they don't.... a big a$$ battery to charge my phone, fans, and flashlights! 🙂
  2. Maintaining 12V While Camping

    Thanks for the info. Is this something that has changed fairly recently? I read through your pinned post on the 12V battery and I believe it said it only charges while the HVB is being charged or the car is running.
  3. Maintaining 12V While Camping

    I am going to be at a festival for 5 days with my Mach-E sitting by my tent, not being driven. Since it is the only secure place to keep belongings, I will likely end up opening and closing the doors pretty frequently. I don't plan to use PAAK, I will put the fob in a faraday pouch when not...
  4. 1,939 mile roundtrip, some interesting data

    I was wondering about that. I usually drive 8-9mph over the speed limit. ("Nine you're fine. Ten you're mine!" A quote from a local sheriff.) I'm planning a trip in June that I did 2 years ago. In my Tacoma it was 11 hours. ABRP is putting it at 14. Not looking forward to an extra 3 hours!
  5. BestEvMod’s April Giveaway

    I love not waiting around for oil changes!
  6. Kwik Trip #202 Plover/south of Stevens Point

    I sure hope they add chargers to all their locations! I have the app to take advantage of their grocery and car wash deals. They are constantly offering gimmicks to get discounted fuel. Maybe someday that will be electron deals! 😁
  7. EVgo Mobile App: $10 Electric Vehicle Charging Credit

    Thanks for sharing even though I saw it too late.
  8. Do the E336193 EVSE units that come with the car crap out?

    This video has detailed reviews of home chargers.
  9. Why the instruction to find a power outlet?!

    I'm in Central Time so about the same time.
  10. Why the instruction to find a power outlet?!

    Wow! Both fascinating and scary.
  11. Why the instruction to find a power outlet?!

    No, I'm not on any paid subscriptions.
  12. Why the instruction to find a power outlet?!

    This message popped up about 2 miles from home. I was at 65% SOC. I had no navigation running. Out of curiosity, I selected Find Chargers. Ford Nav opened and found many chargers, the first being half a mile away. Why the urgent sounding message? It sounds like I was in the middle of nowhere...
  13. EV haters get the xkcd treatment

    Nice to see this real world anecdote. I am planning on car camping for 5 days at a festival. Last time I went (in an ICE), we inched along in 90°F weather for 2 hours to get out of the grounds. I have been a bit nervous about how much battery my Mach-E will use in that situation. Your experience...
  14. First service to car at 10K by dealer mobile service.....Ufff

    After seeing posts about bad experiences, I asked EV Support if they could tell me what dealership in my area has sent more than one tech to EV training. He responded with 2 dealers that Ford considers EV Competent. They are 5 other bigger dealers who are closer to me! Thank goodness I am still...
  15. First service to car at 10K by dealer mobile service.....Ufff

    My 10,000 mile mobile service definitely took longer than 16 minutes. I don't recall how long, though. I know for sure that he checked the 12V battery because he started to explain that it takes him a while to get at it. I also know that he used the standard tire rotation of the back tires...
