I have edited this comment to strike through the reference to V2 Superchargers. As a later post pointed out, non-Teslas will only be able to charge at the newer V3 Superchargers. As a result, my trip experiences with Superchargers may not apply to Mach-e owners. I don't really remember where...

I don't think the Superchargers I use on my trips from Florida to Ohio have a long enough cable to connect to a Mach-e, unless it is parked parallel to the chargers. There was one that was just barely long enough for my Tesla. A Mach-e parked parallel would take up 3 to 4 charging spots. An...

If the wipers are on automatic and come on inappropriately, it is usually because the car thinks there is water on the windshield. This is normally because of dust or dirt on the windshield in front of the camera/sensor. Push and hold the button at the end of the stalk to wash the windshield...

CR stated that they tested the cars with: "The regenerative braking mode was set to its lowest setting for each car to level the playing field." Tesla uses a simplified regenerative braking scheme that is only incorporated into the accelerator. During most of the test runs, adaptive cruise...

I would suggest the answer to be "Nope, but you know those electric cars have cameras all over them." Maquis also has a good recommendation. I also wish to help those in need, but determining who is actually in need rather than just another grifter is not my thing. I normally rely on my...

Toyota has done this before. "Toyota Teases Solid-State Battery Breakthrough" Car & Driver, August 23, 2017 https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a15340098/toyota-teases-solid-state-battery-breakthrough-elon-musk-doesnt-believe-it/ “We are working on research and development, including the...

The Consumer's Reports range tests need to be taken with a grain of salt. They turn off the heating and air-conditioning. Thus cars with a heat pump (Tesla) gain no advantage in cold driving. They set the EVs into their less-aggressive regenerative braking mode. Tesla uses a simpler brake...

This thread began a year ago. Some things have changed quite a bit between the Mach-e and the ID.4. First is price. The 2023 Mach-e price is much higher than the 2022 model. In contrast VW raised the ID.4 price by only a couple thousand for the 2023 model year. A Mach-e Premium SR RWD has a...

Unfortunately that is true. I checked; It ended June 1, 2022. Well I still have my son-in-law's grandfather. He has said he would get me a pin. Still, Ford stock seems like a good investment.

I'm planning on ordering a 2023. However, until Ford announces the details for the 2023 there is some uncertainty. Price is one. The degree to which different battery packages may or may not qualify for 1/2 or all of the new EV tax credit. The Korean SK Innovation batteries manufactured in...

Without the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), once Ford sold 200,000 EVs in the USA, the $7,500 tax credit was going to phase out anyway. I am likely to order a 2023 Mach-e. I did not expect to get any tax credit. The IRA may or may not result in a tax credit for buyers of a 2023 MME. My 2018...
