Another reason I don't use 1PD. From Green Car Reports: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1145020_evs-are-in-different-kinds-of-fender-benders-claims-data-reveals EVs tend to be newer, meaning they're more likely to have the latest front-collision avoidance tech. The company also cited the...

After three years with my Mach-E, I still couldn’t be happier. There is no other vehicle on the market that I wished I had purchased instead. The only headaches I’ve experienced over the past year were the “12v battery fault”, “System shut down to save battery” warnings and text messages. These...

" For the Semons, there doesn’t seem to be much of an issue with the Mach-E not being a “true” Mustang. For all intents and purposes, it is. Michael says the EV is a great complement to the Mustang GT convertible they also own, and they enjoy getting the Mach-E up to speed, along with its...

This is what I have felt all along: The Porsche Taycan makes greater use of coasting, only using regenerative braking when the brake pedal is actually pressed. In a recent press release, the automaker explains the thinking behind that. "This is a more efficient way of driving," Martin...

With new prices, which has more bang for the buck? https://www.motortrend.com/features/tesla-model-y-vs-ford-mustang-mach-e-price-value-comparison/ Motor Trend thinks the Tesla does, with their charging network a major factor. Even if Tesla has a slight edge, I won't purchase an ugly car...

Two years ago I wasn’t in the market for an EV. I wanted a vehicle that was good looking, with the cargo capacity and comfort I needed for everyday driving. Fuel economy was not an overriding factor. My wife wanted me to get the new Corvette (I was tempted) but I narrowed my choices to the...

One minor annoyance I've had is how loud the cooling fan was during charging. For the past month, there has been hardly any noise at all, even when it is over 95 degrees in the garage while charging. Is this the result of the several recent OTA updates over the past month? Is the MME now...

In the US, 69% say no way EV: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1134702_americans-dont-want-ev-yet-half-wont-pay-extra-for-electrified

This is a very good video about the hurdles of battery production, especially lithium.

After driving over 300 vehicles in 2021, Alex on Autos rates the Mach-E #2, only beaten by the Maverick. I don't think he has shown a bias toward Ford in the past, so this video says a lot about the direction the company has taken. I'm also happy that the RDX made #7.

This is a high quality review of what's available. It appears the Mach-E gets the #1 spot.

This is a good C&D article about the issue. Be sure to read the comments: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a38537243/electric-cars-12-volt-batteries/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_cdb&utm_medium=email&date=010422&utm_campaign=nl25897467 I wasn't aware that plug-in hybrids are having 12v battery...

There is a thread about adding neon rope for accent lighting but I don't think many MME owners will try that. I have found an alternative that most of us can do. It doesn't light up at night but stands out brilliantly under most lighting conditions, even a dim glow. Over 95% of my driving is...

It says a lot that this article puts the primary target of the Airflow as the Mach-E. The styling is similar...
