I ordered mine Dec. 14, 2021. Received Nov. 3, 2022. Email notification was 7-10 days later than status posted by Ford to my account. That was during COVID so I knew the original delivery date would be extended.
Congrats. Welcome to the forum as an owner. A couple practical items.
First, you have not mentioned the battery size, which affects price significantly. For the price you paid I hope you have the extended range battery.
Second, Summer is near. You may want to charge overnight when temps are...
That poster is me. I agree with your assessment of a gasoline generator, whether Honda or another manufacturer. I SHOULD HAVE STATED that a natural gas or propane generator which is supplied by your utility or a large tank. I have used both a 10kW gasoline generator and later both a 17kW - later...
Yes, You are getting to the practical phase which now should include the following considerations.
In my area the provider was required to submit the solar system proposal to the utility, and receive utility approval. Reason: The utilities can't accept more electrical production than the...
I agree with @markboris. Used to live in central Illinois so similar climate, snow and temps as Indiana. I suppose you could pull off snow with a tool like a squeeze if the sun does not melt it off. During warm weather, you could rig some type of tarp system to cover the solar panels ahead of a...
Live in Colorado Springs which provides a high number of days to produce electricity from the 16-panel X 350W system of Myers-Berger PV panels using Enphase inverters. Some bullet points:
Know how much your local utility allows producing to still receive net metering credit. Ours is 120%. If...
Camping is supposed to be 'outside', with a shelter to sleep in is OK but you should expect and experience temperature, humidity and other variations. Now to each their own. Use whatever vehicle you want to maintain comfort. I personally would not call that a camping experience. Growing up my...
I agree. Evaluate all of the accessories and features that need to work. Air bags that are part of additional body panels. Ratchet-down or screw-down body panels that better not rattle. Lights which fuses better power them w/o issues. Headers that better not sag. Fit and finish that better not...
I agree both the car and baby are beautiful. I have an eight year old granddaughter who loves the feel being pushed into the back of her seat during acceleration. I tell her "only when safe conditions". Because you are new to the Mach-e, here are a few items you can investigate to keep it and...
I sympathize if that has been your experience. EA has been the best charger system I have experienced. I admit that a few have not worked as well as they should but 99.99% of the time EA has worked great: from Illinois west to CA.
I say "Go, Walmart, Go!" Local operations should improve...
This is at least as good as the popular press articles promoting 'solid state' batteries. The near future is a curious prospect. I'm almost 70 and have read about flying cars in the near future since I was a kid. :D
Have charged at both Booneville and Sedalia. Glad that you had a positive Ford service experience. Similarly, recently the 'service now' warning light appeared. The dealer in Colorado Springs, Phil Long, was able to get it in, diagnosed and fixed in three days, that included a weekend. The HVBJB...
We were going to drive from central Illinois to Williamsburg two years ago but decided against because of the dearth of DCFCs through the West Virginia mountains, so we drove our hybrid Fusion. Anyway, PlugShare now shows many more DCFCs along I-64, including Tesla chargers open to non-Teslas...
I promoted on several previous forums that Ford implement a joystick gear shift, similar to the Toyota Prius, which could allow activating/deactivating 1PD mode easily. I have not found a video showing if or how the superstalk shifter allows 1PD mode. Anyone know?
