  1. Total Eclipse in Northern New England. Don't drive electric

    I was just reading about the experience of EV owners in Northern New England regarding the eclipse. I am going to post what I just read..... A Wakefield family had a similarly exhausting all-night trip. They had to wait more than four hours to charge their electric vehicle on the way home from...
  2. Total Eclipse in Northern New England. Don't drive electric

    I heard many stories of how the 3 hour drive from Metro Boston to totality ended up being 9 hours or more. I also heard from a friend (in a gas vehicle) that when she went past the charging station in Littleton NH there was a line of 45 cars waiting to charge. How much time would that add...
  3. Total Eclipse in Northern New England. Don't drive electric

    We currently have a deep snow cover in Northern New England. Under the wet melting snow is mud. Lots of it!! I would not recommend anyone trying to navigate off unpaved roads. I have had 30" of snow in the past 2 weeks. and temperatures rise into the 50s tomorrow. Tow trucks will be very...
  4. Total Eclipse in Northern New England. Don't drive electric

    I live in Central NH and love my 3 year old MME. We are retired so very rarely use public charging. I'm also an amateur astronomer and have been following the eclipse. Rental cars are sold out. I'm hearing stories of the rental car companies only having electric cars available. There are no...
  5. Goodwill Program Information: High Voltage Battery Junction Box (23S56)

    Just an fyi on my experience with this recall. I received the notice in November. Had not heard anything since. Called my dealer yesterday. Great dealership (Irwin Ford NH). They ordered the HVBJB from Ford immediately and Ford sent it overnight. The dealership will do the one/two day job...
  6. Can't OTA update, weird error message each time.

    Thank you! That worked!!
  7. Can't OTA update, weird error message each time.

    I have never had a failed OTA update with my 2022 GT until this week. It does not seem to be a low 12V battery issue. I have it set to 1am and the next day it says something like "update failed due to an interruption with another process". I also tried to reschedule the update(s)...
  8. NACS Adapter Now Available + Ford EV Owners Can Now Charge on Tesla Superchargers in U.S., Canada! 🙌

    I just saw this and get the surging demand notice. Ford should have done this quietly at first. Once California wakes up forget it.
  9. 23S56 HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY JUNCTION BOX HVBJB

    I'm confused. I got the recall notice back in November. It says when parts are available I will get another notice. I'm still waiting. Do I need to call my dealership to order the part?
  10. Why so many jail bars?

    I live 75 miles south of Canada. In winter below about 25F I always have this amount of jailbars. If I precondition my MME for half an hour before driving the jailbars go away. Very normal in cold weather
  11. Uh Oh

    I bought a 2022 MME GT. It is coming up on 2 years since I have owned this car. Not one single problem. I love love love this car. I take people for a ride and it blows them away. Very few EVs up here. I paid $70K I live in Central NH. The closet fast charger is 45 miles away. When I...
  12. Locked Out, 12v battery isn't dead.

    This would be my worst nightmare. I'm a retired person, non techy and live in NH where there are very few MME. I would not know where to start and I doubt my dealer would either. Thankfully my 22 GT has never had one problem so far, love the car.
  13. Future Mach-Es with a landscape screen orientation?

    I have always thought about a display on a swivel or a knob. Like a smartphone that can adjust the screen either way, landscape or vertical. Going even further an adjustment that could extend the screen out an inch or two like the steering wheel does and even adjust the angle of the screen so...
  14. Polestar 4 Announced

    The MME is the best-looking EV on the road in my opinion. Taking everything else out of the equation this is the 2nd best-looking EV that I have seen so far.
  15. Do not use Florida Turnpike

    I live just south of the White Mountains in NH. There are no non Tesla DCFC in the northern 2/3 of the state. It is impossible to drive from Boston and do a full circuit around the Whites. We have 2 Tesla fast charging locations that would make it easily possible and when I go by them they are...
  16. Ford Explorer EV revealed (Europe only)

    It is ugly in my opinion. I do like one thing they have done. The ability to move the sync screen. I wish the MME screen could be on some type of hinge where it could be adjusted left, right up, and down.
  17. A Tesla Unplugged Me 😡

    Gas stations generally have an on-site employee and there is almost always a free nozzle to gas up and go. Charging stations in general have no one to monitor the EV customer. As more EVs come on the road and if plentiful fast chargers do not keep up with demand all kinds of problems will be...
  18. After Two Years and 30,000 Miles... Long Term Owner Review

    This week is my 1 year anniversary of my White 2022 MME GT. I am retired and live in NH so I only have 7500 miles on the car. I have not had one issue with this car. Not one. I still love this car as much as the day I picked it up. I charge at home and it is easy with no problems. The only...
  19. EVs are more expensive to charge versus gas vehicles in places in New England

    Here in NH I have a separate meter for my MME. .25Kwh peak but "only" .15Kwh off peak. Gas is $3.19. Temperatures the past few days below 20F all day. Without doing the math the degraded battery range on the MME and the cheap gas would make me think gas is cheaper.
  20. When will Ford make the Lane Change Assist available on Blue Cruise?

    I have not really been keeping up with this new Blue Cruise feature for the 23s but the one difference this has vs say adding a frunk button is that this potentially adds value to Blue Cruise subscriptions and renewals. I don't know how much it costs to send out a over the airwaves update but...
