Next Janaury I expect to store my car for over 30 days- and want to avoid disconnecting the 12v battery- as Ford recommends.. If I set the car up for short term- 2 weeks or less, can I have a friend - a neighbor- visit the car after 2 weeks, plug the car back into the charger overnight,(Ford...

https://www.thedrive.com/news/public-ev-charging-still-sucks-but-ford-is-working-to-fix-it ....is the web address for thedrive.com. I am surprised that there is no categogy on this forum specifically on roadside charging. Granted that for EV owners almost 90 % is done at home. But we should have...

I may have discovered another reason for failure to connect. At my home I could not connect, but my neighbor, who also has Verizon Fios gave me his password, and using his different router, I was able to connect at his home. So I bought the same router for my home, and it connected! The TP-Link...

Hi Tony: Not really misleading. I feel it is a legitimate attention getter. It got your attention 2 minutes after I posted it. Thanks for your thought anyway. Don

Here is a link on long term storage from Ford:: How does Ford expect us to do that without removing frunk panels and discoonecting a battery that does not have a quick disconnected feature. If the link does not work-do a web search for How can I prepare my Ford Electric Vehicle for long-term...

I have PlugShare. Still find the DOE app helpful

I have PlugShare. and others.The app I describe can prove helpful, depending where you are. Just call the number to verify.

May be dated, but offers information that can prove valuable. Just call to verify.

In addition to the location data provided by FordPass app and Electrify America app, the DOE of the US Government publishes a great app that lists data from Gov. data from the Dept of Energy. It lists a huge list including those charging stations at non Ford dealers that are open to the public...

I appleid for the $300.00 over 3 year refund- and was told-in an e-maail- not offered at this time. Not sure if they will rebate later

I appled for the rebate- got an answer that they are not- at this time- offering a rebate of $300.00 over 3 years. Not clear when- or if- it will be restarted.

I have read a bit about battery fires, and , while rare, are hard to put out, especially if the car is parked in your garage. GM is even telling Volt owners to never park in a garage under certain circumstances. Since I have a central alarm system, I checked on the sensors now in my garage...

For my whole house standby generator I installed a battery warmer. I see a similar device on sale on amazon called zerostart 2800055 battery blanket for $46.98. Would this work.? 120volt at 50 watts. Obviously will not work on the road, but if a parked car is near 120 volts, it could work. Just...

My original post was Sept 28,2021.

I posted all this information months ago, along with pictures, and a link to the pdf towing guide. I printed the guide, and it is in my car now. Search for posts by DSSDMD AND TOWING TO SEE IT ALL. i BOUGHT 2 T HOOKS FOR TOWING, BUT THEY DO NOT FIT IN THE HOLES. i JUST ORDERED SOME J HOOKS-...

I have had my Mach E premium AWD Extended for a week now, and generally happy. I have a Chargepoint 60 amp charger in the garage, and rarely expect to need public charging stations. Most of my driving will be local, and under 50 miles a day. I set the car to charge no more than 80%. I know...

I went with a Michelin Alpin Pilot 5 SUV. Pricy, but highly rated, except cost less at at Costco, with a sale. Loose tire not a great idea. I am signed with AAA, and my USAA insurance includes roadside. Safer than a loose tire. and between them I feel OK for changing a tire.

Also note that if one tire goes bad, with some tread wear, Tire Rack will shave the new tire to match tread wear. Cost $25.00 and adds a day or more to shipment.

Sadly, tow hooks are not supplied by the car makers for owners. It is up to the tow companies to supply tow hooks. However, for $20.00 I will feel better having my own, after I check them in the hole first.
