    First Mach-E road trip using Superchargers and NACS!

    Looks like I finally have a use for my Frunk.......................

    Prices compared for charging at Supercharger (between Tesla and non-Teslas) - by JerryRigEverything

    I'll just keep charging at home for 11c/kwh. In three years with the MME have only fast charged one time.

    2024 Mach-E GT in Eruption Green with Bronze Package -- first live photos!

    I am old too, but I actually think it looks pretty good. I really think Ford is going in the wrong direction though (along with the other manufacturers). The reason there are so many Mach-Es sitting on the lots now (other than the loss of the tax credit) is that EV's are too damn expensive...

    Unlocking extra 3 kWh for early Mach-E's

    Even if it was available for use....do you think you would even notice it with the variability of weather/temperature? I too have a 2021 with 33K miles and still getting about 280 miles range on full charge (on non-EV tires). That is plenty for me.

    New Mach E Range

    Your mileage will vary greatly in winter based on ambient temp and if using heat. I have a 2021 Premium AWD ER. At 32K miles I regularly get just over 300 miles in summer and around 250 miles in winter. This is in North Georgia.

    My Mach-E GT got a lot of pushback on reddit. Curious to see people's thoughts on here.

    Car looks nice except for wing. It really does nothing for you (it weighs 500olbs so does not need it) and it looks very RICE (like a 6 inch exhaust tip on a Honda civic....) But, if you like it that is what counts.

    Battery SoH @ 31 months 88k miles

    I agree. Charge it like you own it. I charge to 100% every time I charge (2-3 times weekly). But, I have only DCFC this car once in 2 1/2 years. The only long road trips I take are with camper and the truck pulls that.

    Daily charging

    Charge to 100% about twice weekly. This on a 21 Premium ER. Have only charged once on a DCFC. At 31K miles have not noticed any decrease in range. Summer full charge range is still about 295 miles. ( And that is on non-EV tires).

    This sounds like what we should expect from charging stations

    Ditto. Filled up my truck today. I bypassed the local Ingles Grocery station as there were about 5 broken pumps out of 12. Went to the local Walmart and they had three pumps down. True, less of an issue for gas pumps as it only takes a few minutes to fill up vice 30 minutes +. Still, both...

    Ford, BMW, Honda to Create ChargeScape, a Company Focused On Optimizing Electric Vehicle Grid Services

    So...we charge our cars at non-peak times for x cents a kwh. Then the utility can suck it back out at peak hours and only pay us wholesale price for the power they take just like solar cells. This is just the greedy getting greedier. The consumer gets the shaft again.

    Panoramic Roof, in hot states

    Live in Georgia. I have never noticed heat emanating from glass roof.

    General thoughts on long term reliability for the Mach E

    2 years and 31k miles on a Premium ER4x. Only issue has been a wonky Sync system one time and a rattle in rear door that dealers could never fix. (I fixed it myself in 20 minutes. Lazy technicians that could not "replicate" the rattle.) Other than that trouble free and wonderful car.

    Peeled paint with the power washer

    Never, ever use a pressure washer on your car. It can rip trim off, damage paint, force water under seals into places it should not be.

    The dreaded CHARGE FAULT

    My juice box occasionally give a charge fault. I think it has something to do with a ground detect fault. I have to open breaker to box, let it sit about 15 minutes and then re-close breaker. It then works fine. I had a electrician friend check out my installation and he found no issues.
