I’m starting to plan a trip from Calgary to Toronto. Which makes me think, let's create a list of recommended hotels and restaurants with (or beside) good chargers all the way across the entire nation on the Trans Canada Highway. I’ll respond to this thread with my own knowledge.

Hey @Ford Motor Company , I really miss being able to plan trips on my phone. Last night lying in bed my wife explained a trip she was going to do today, and I wanted to be able to pick DCFCs for her, enter them as favourites, and build a saved trip inside of Ford Navigation for her including...

Yay! They are finally decommissioning the Shell Recharge App. You'll have to use The Shell App. The Shell Recharge App was always terrible. I learned long ago to avoid using it, instead using the Ford App or Flo, which works with most Shell chargers, at least here in Canada. I kind of...

Check this out. It was -20C all week while I was of in Japan skiing. The MachE was plugged in to an Emporia charger inside an unheated garage. Departure times were all turned off, and the emporia schedule just had its “turn on 45 minutes after sunrise” schedule (so was always offering power)...

Do we have statistics on sales by nation? Preferably broken out by manufacturing location? Curious as to where the cars produced in Mexico have been shipped in 2024. In the now-locked tariff thread, someone claimed that 50% of the production at the Cuautitlan plant was sold to other countries...

As Trump announces 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, Canada has mused about a 100% tariff on Tesla vehicles as part of its dollar-for-dollar trade war response. It will be interesting (and sad) to watch how this plays out. I could see the MachE sales increasing in Canada in 2025...

Had a scary moment where we tried three stations at the Hope Supercharger and it didn’t work, disconnected each time. Then the Tesla app said “your car is no able to charge at Superchargers at this time”. So we went to the adjacent Electrify Canada and had to try two stations and five times...

This is new to me. A local ford dealer installed an ultra fast DCFC (240kW) but the built in MachE navigation doesn’t use it, and won’t precondition for it. And it shows up as not “in network”. It does show up in the “Public Charging” car app, and one can navigate to it from there, but the trip...

My wife announced she wants the rear trunk shelf in the upper position again. So now I'm thinking about storing stuff in the 3-4 inch space under it. Since it's not convenient to access, I'm thinking I should keep things there that we might want unexpectedly. For example, it's a great place...

Sorry I don’t have time to do tests myself. I need to charge my iPad and camera while I’m loading in for a music show and doing the soundcheck. Do I need to leave the car “running” and turn off the countdown timer? Or do the usb ports stay energized when the car isn’t “on”. Also, if the car is...

My Ford NACS Supercharger Adapter finally arrived! I'll try it out in a few days to make sure it works. I have no need for *two* NACS-to-CCS supercharger adapters. So, I should sell either the new Ford one or the A2Z Typhoon Pro that I bought for an October road trip. I'm just wondering which...

I finished my two week vacation trip from Calgary to the Bay Area and back, with a focus on Oregon. Photos to come! I kept a detailed charging log, you can view it here. https://www.icloud.com/numbers/016_BMR_n4fLAul-iLjBg_v_w#Calgary_to_Oregon/California_loop_trip_charging_report 2022 GT...

So apparently Americans can get the in-car hotspot with unlimited data for USD$10/month. I subscribed to the 3GB trial for a road trip to the USA, and I used up most of the data. Now, I'm prompted to subscribe for more data. It directs me to the Bell Canada website, where I can buy 1.5GB for...

Just wondering if this is at all normal. My car is behind on updates, but I recently got the Charge Assist app in the car. I plugged into a Tesla Supercharger for the first time this morning, and the car kept saying "waiting to charge". I didn't take a picture of the screen, but I really...

Hey, would my Electrify Canada monthy subscription give me reduced prices at Electrify America charging stations on a USA road trip? Would my Tesla Canada monthly subscription give me reduced prices at USA Tesla Superchargers on a USA road trip? Should I subscribe to any other services, or...

Posted this on LinkedIn. My Mustang MachE paid me $550/hr to charge. (c) John Abraham Calgary, AB August 19, 2024 Someone suggested maybe I was saving time by driving an EV, because I never had to go to a gas station. I admit that never having to buy gas is a surprise benefit of owning an...

Has anyone run into the situation where pressing “connected vehicle features” in settings->connectivity shows “please wait” briefly in a dialog box, but then shows no other options?

I'm planning a trip and want to visit some place that doesn't show up in search. Doesn't matter the site, but Ford Nav Maps is missing a lot of places, e.g. Atlas Coal Mine national historic site https://atlascoalmine.ab.ca/. Or Paint Pots trailhead in Kootenay National Park. I already have...

I'm hanging out in the Balkans (Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina) and really missing my Mach E. I have a rental brand new ICE car Suzuki S-Cross and it's admirable, but driving these narrow roads with questionable speed limits I would much prefer to have my Mustang MachE. And...

We used the Mustang GTPE on "The Alberta Sessions EP" tour with Delirium Street Party Brass (check out the album on Bandcamp or Spotify or whatever, link below). Calgary to Lethbridge there's sadly no Bluecruise Handsfree outside of the two cities, even though it's a divided highway. There are...
