    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...

    USED EV BATTERY DISPOSAL

    I have been driving the MME for about 10 months. I cannot count the number of 'haters' who must find some reason to ridicule the EV segment. From electrical grid issues to battery disposal the hateful attitude is getting worse as the influence of EVs becomes more pronounced. The attached news is...

    Happy Thanksgiving

    To all the Mustang owners, but especially the Mach E owners, Happy Thanksgiving from a very satisfied Mach E driver. Most fun I've had driving a car in my 61 years of legal street driving. Hope my range anxiety does not get worse as the weather continues to cool down for winter.

    So Many Hiding Places

    Gave ole Beaut-E a bath today and she sure does shine. Her coat is glossy. BUT has anyone noticed the number and depth of the crevices, nooks and crannies this pony has. There are more places for water and dirt to hide on this horse than on a wrinkled up bulldog. I use a pressure washer and blow...

    NO COMPLAINTS. ALL POSITIVE NEWS TO REPORT.

    I have had my pony for 6 months with close to 7,000 miles and no sickness or visits to the Doctor. I see a lot of negative threads but had to say at least the one I got has been awesome. She eats well, runs really good and produces a good miles to calorie intake. Best beast of burden I have ever...

    Electrical Grid Argument Against EVs rebuttal

    I have several 'friends' arguing that BEVs are going to bring the electrical grid system down and cause brown/black outs. They use quotes from local utilities that appear to confirm the extra load could cause some issues. In researching this subject I have developed a counterargument if you are...

    Operating Expense

    Purchased a RWD with standard battery in April and have been tracking all my expenses including energy for the first 6000 miles. The attached spreadsheet reflects these expenses using the local utility cost per KWh. Glad to report that energy is at $0.02 per mile and I am averaging a little over...

    Car not charging

    Attempted to charge at level 2 after arriving at home after a short trip around town. Charger showed blue light. Car would not start charging. Changed to level 1 and all was OK. After over night charge with 10% gain and 30 miles range improvement, reconnected to level 2 and all was good. Does...

    Charging Station Shade

    Just Made our first road trip and visited several Electrify America stations. Now I know it is early Spring but was very hot in the sun handling the numerous issues with the DC fast charging. Why are this not placed where there is some shade or relief? Summer is around the corner and I can...

    Lane Keeping - not sure I'm a fan

    Tried the lane keeping to day on the first road trip. Covered about 400 miles with lane keeping on for about half that distance. Not sure I'm a fan. Ping pong effect where it appeared the car was bouncing off the two guide lines for the lane. Feel in the steering wheel was rather disturbing. At...

    One Pedal Driving

    is the one pedal driving mode more efficient in giving better mileage per KWh? What does the car behind the Mach E observe? Do the brake lights illuminate when decelerating? Do you drive more cautiously in one pedal mode. I tried it today while driving in town. Felt clumsy at first but kinda got...

    Any Memphis, TN Mach E owners?

    Tennessee doesn't get a mention on the state listing for Mustang EV owners. I was the first to purchase at a dealer just outside the metropolitan area of Memphis. Have not seen another Mach E in the month I have been driving around the city.
