Just a little tool I worked up. I know some folks are not numbers people. I use Siri a lot and ask "hey Siri what's point 55 times 88 times 2.5"....
To clarify, I meant more for the new Mach E owner with little or no EV experience and for reference during those few first months of ownership...
This is why I do not trust dealers. This poor Mach E Owner. I am sick to my stomach! Have a look at this from Facebook.
ANYONE GETTING THIS DONE TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING, I MEAN EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU LET THEM TOUCH YOUR CAR!
Summary: 114 mile trip . Ford Pass says I used 41.6 kWh, or 47%. By battery percentage it says I used 52% (45kWh). My charger put 53% (46 kWh) back into the battery.
So interesting results from a recent 114.2 Mile trip looking at the meter data for an ER AWD in winter. It was a mild...
Just set up for the first time with the new car. Good news it works! Bad news the mileage reported is over double. I guess I will have to multiply efficiency by 0.4567. But at least it’s there and we now have efficiency data that self records!
My July Build with active Bluecruise compared with another on a local dealer lot that just got delivered this week with Bluecruise. $400 on the sticker. If mine was red rather than Star White it would have bee $600 more. Base cost $49,700 (July build ) vs $50,300 for (August build).
Just some first Impressions. First of all I loved my Select with Tech/Comfort. Even though I felt second class to all the GT and Premium Owners on this forum…LOL. 11,250 miles of bliss. Zero issues (except PAAK) and great efficiency 3.7-3.9 mi/kWh over that time. I cannot think of a better...
Well my son accidentally had my mother’s debit card in his pocket when we arrived home last evening, after the previous test. Since it was cold and I was awake early, I decided to repeat the test in reverse. I departed at 6:24 am with my new Premium ER AWD.
23F at home.. Quickly dropped to...
Took a 78 mile interstate ride this PM. 27-28F and breezy.
Heat set at 70F, e-heat on, fan locked on 1. Cabin was perfect. Both seat heaters on and heated wheel.
2 Adults and 100# of cargo. Unplugged from the charger at 93% in Augusta, Maine. Exited in Bangor Maine.
Absolutely awesome...
Picked up my new AWD X tonight. I told the dealer If they cannot get the adhesives off scratch free, I would do it.
Well, I have shipping film and sticker adhesive everywhere. Before I wash and ceramic coat tomorrow, anyone have some recommendations for a Paint safe product…..rubbing alcohol...
I have this for my Ioniq EV from EBay and it fits the Mach E well. It is a necessity in snowy areas and performed well for my Hyundai. Only 1 problem! My hyundai is steel and the Mach E fenders are aluminum. I will see if I can work out a source of aluminum magnets…..lol. If I could only get...
I just found out there is a second “supplemental” Owners manual….. I did not know this. Seems to have some technical stuff. Maybe it’s old and a remnant. It was a good read rather than the 400+ pages of the big one...
I love Maine. Just snapped it up tonight, Premium AWD ER Star White. 11 miles and no markup. 3 hours from home. Delivered 5 weeks ago and never even test driven. Still has all the stickers. The tires were a little flat spotted. In May I got my infinite blue select with Tech off the lot and...
I love EV life. It keeps an Engineer constantly calculating. Thank goodness for 1.71 and the cheesy calculator…. This is just another day of seeing what I can (and cannot) do with my EV.
I am not in any way bashing EVs or the Mach E and am not debating SR vs ER or AWD vs RWD. I love mine and...
I had to take my daughter and a friend to a high school homecoming dance and pick them up. I decided to do some heating tests. 29-30F.
1. Auto 3, 72F, seat and wheel heater on, 40 MPH average 2.7 mi/kWh
2. heat off, seat and wheel heater on , 40 MPH aversge, 3.7 mi/kWh
3. e heat set at 68F...
