    How much do you pay for electric at home?

    TVA was developed initially for flood control on a wild river that often rampaged through the valleys it follows to the Mississippi. The production of hydro power was a byproduct of that flood control. Every major river control system in the world creates lakes and the loss of land. However...

    Have crossed paths with a white MME at the intersection of Kirby Whitten and Yale twice in the last few weeks.

    Welcome! Several MME owners are reporting by way of this thread. Carbonized Gray here also. Purchased from Millington Ford in April 2021. What part of town do you frequent?

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    I have the 2021 Carbonized Gray Select in Bartlett. I think the DMG and the CG are very similar in color. Most have opted for the Premium or GT models but I really like the Select without the overhead window. I have modified the aero covers for the wheels as a lot of dirt and grime get caught...

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    Wow. Thats an 80-mile trip one way. The GT must have been gulping down that $4.50 gasoline. The MME should give you about 3.0-3.5 miles per KW depending on your driving style...cost about $0.03 per mile for energy. The GT was probably costing $0.20 to $0.24 per mile for gas alone.

    Welcome to the EV club. Will you be coming into Memphis often? The 64 route in will be a hoot with the MME. Be careful as this car will want you to exceed the posted speed all the time. It is so much joy to drive. Have fun!

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    We have 16,000 miles on our 15 month old MME and have loved each and every mile. What a dream to drive, heavy, very reactive and seldom challenged at a traffic light. Costing about $0.03 per mile to operate on power. Winter loss in efficiency was more than expected but manageable. Range...

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    I-40, Hwy 64 or Hwy 70? Grabber Blue should be easy to spot in either location.

    Good looking EV. You are going to really enjoy this automobile. Did Autonation Ford give you an advertising credit for displaying your ordered car in their sales window?

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    That may be me. I have the Carbonized Gray which can be confused with the DMG if not parked side by side. I am in the Lakeland, Arlington, I-40/Stage Road areas often as I live in Bartlett.

    One Pedal Driving

    The attached article describes the way regeneration occurs. Based on the authors details I would suggest both methods of braking are equally effective as long as you don't have to use the brake pedal with more pressure than is required to break an egg between your foot and the pedal. (PDF)...

    Battery Conditioning or Pre-conditioning

    I remember reading that thread but had forgotten the engineer's input. Thanks for reminding me.

    Battery Conditioning or Pre-conditioning

    I have read the manual and cannot find any reference to pre-conditioning the battery for use or charging. All I find is the conditioning of the cabin prior to driving per a schedule you set. Does this also condition the battery...warm it to provide maximum range in cold temps? Is there any way...

    I had SunPro out of Louisiana install my system. It is designed to supply a maximum of 10.2 KWh and has a Powerwall battery for storage at 13.4 KWh. Works great when the sun shines. I find myself managing my usage based on chasing the sun. Instead of charging at night when I'm depending on...

    Mach E Select Wheels

    I had the aero covers removed at 10,000 miles and was shocked at how much grime and road dirt had collected behind them. Did not like the exposed hub either so I made a small adjustment by cutting the wings off and kept the center piece with logo to cover the hubs. Wheels are still ugly but i...

    I did it myself. Not real difficult but you have to know what you are doing.

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    I still use the Ford supplied charger system. Did install the 14-50 outlet for the 240 plug. I am able to charge at 25 miles per hour. Since I am retired I can charge during the day when power is the cheapest for me...I also installed solar so I chase the sun and charge when I can with no or...
