I will say one thing to make sure of is that the 240 outlet they use is one specifically for EV charging. They sell them at home depot. When I first had my charger installed the guy bought a 12$ outlet that wasn’t rated for EV charging. I had to have another electrician come and install the...

Agree. People are usually shocked when I say I’ve never used a public charger lol. They always ask “don’t you go on road trips?”. Even before I had an EV, if I go on a road trip I never use my own car, I rent a car. I don’t want to put all those extra miles on my own car, I’ll put them on...

As much as I’d like to reply cause I also live in PHX, I’ve had my Mach E 15 months and have never used a public charger. Once you get one installed at home it will be the best. I know you said you weren’t in a rush to install one but I would be if I were you. Don’t rely on your wife’s work or...

Too expensive.

Welp, looks like Ford is staying true to its roots and didint delay trying to get the most recalls for an auto maker ever again in 2026 lol

lol dealers may be shady but I’ve never heard of one calling a customer to make up a recall just to get you in there and say “oh btw, there is no recall, wanna buy something different?”

I don’t understand this post. Is the issue the charge port getting stuck or that someone parked in the wrong spot using the wrong cable??

I use painters tape on the charge door and the front small panel on the front bumper that has the cables behind it. Never had an issue since

Yes. 12v battery isn’t that expensive. Do it for peace of mind.

Out of curiosity did that mobile tech know to reset the BMS or say anything about it? I have a feeling some techs may not realize they have to do that.

If I need to look at the car at an angle with the sun shining just right in order to even see these micro scratches then I don’t worry about it. These are daily drivers not garage kept classics.

In my city there are very few touchless car washes. The ones that do exist are in bad neighborhoods, are 10 years old and poorly maintained and the rain takes more dirt off the car than they do lol. However new touch car washes have been popping up on every corner like gas stations over the last...

It’s so odd to me when I read that ford dealers near people are booked a month out and can’t even get you in. Maybe it’s regional, or car specific but I’ve got a high volume store close to me and I’ve never had issues getting something scheduled relatively soon with any vehicle. Now how long it...

I just text Ford and they tell me the 12v charge and voltage.

High-Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB) This component is basically the “power distribution hub” for the high-voltage system. It: Routes high-voltage power from the battery to major components (drive motor, DC-DC converter, onboard charger, etc.) Contains contactors/relays that...
