    Backpack Trip with 4 passengers 264 miles on single charge

    Also ABRP tends to be much more conservative than how this car will actually perform.

    Who do you think runs the government in a representative democracy if it's not people?

    Electrify America is raising prices!

    "Free Markets" are not "free" they are run by rules set up by a governing body that regulates them. Without government you have no market. If you like "freedom" you like government.

    BlueCruise not centered in lane

    Just noticed this same issue with my Mach e. In the leftmost lane and it want's to get nice and close to the semi-truck on my right. I end up having to pull the steering wheel slightly left in these situations.

    Boise , Portland, Cloverdale CA, Reno NV, back to Boise. Notes on Range and Electrify America!~!

    Orovada to Boise 3.5 miles per kWh (60mph) When I drove from Orovada NV to Boise ID I kept my speed no higher than 60 for most of the way (except for the last 20 miles when I knew I would make it home). The road is not flat. I did have to go over the Owyhee mountains. Basically, if you need...

    Boise , Portland, Cloverdale CA, Reno NV, back to Boise. Notes on Range and Electrify America!~!

    My aunt was being a bit critical about how much planning I had to do and said she was just too old to understand. I told her it was kind of like planning a long trip in 1975 with a 1969 Chevelle! Talk about range anxiety, not to mention breakdown anxiety! LOL

    What level 2 charger is everyone purchasing for home use?

    Ford should allow the Mach e to be able select max charge amps like the Teslas can. I've seen people charge their Teslas with portable solar generators because they can limit charge currents to 5AMPS.

    What level 2 charger is everyone purchasing for home use?

    Yeah, I wondered what that was about. I was a bit upset I couldn't change my charging from the app anymore. I had to call the 24hr hotline. I wonder if that was a liability issue. Probably had many people who have no experience with electronics, changing amperage on a whim, and causing burned...

    First New Car Order ever.

    Finally received my Mach e on the 17th of May 2022. Only a 7+ month wait. At least I was able to get the RT1 before Ford discontinued it.

    240V but only 20Amp circuit.

    Really happy with Charge Point Flex and the 24hr tech support. Was able to install myself to a 240V 20amp circuit. Works great and I'm able to monitor my monthly energy consumption via the Charge Point app. Really helpful when the electric bill comes around.

    What level 2 charger is everyone purchasing for home use?

    A couple things I like about the Charge Point Flex is that I could set it to 240V 20Amp because of my older house wiring and I can monitor my monthly charging cost since my wife pays the electricity bill out of her own account.

    70%, 80%, 90%?? For those charging at home, what threshold do you use?

    Owners Manual: "Additionally, setting the maximum charge level to be less than 100% for everyday usage reduces strain on the battery". pg 157 "Storage State of Charge You can increase the battery life by maintaining your state of charge below 100%. When you park your vehicle for an extended...

    You are correct, they did make one stop.

    Max range challenge! What's your Mach-E's max range on a single charge?

    But can you beat this: Mustang Mach-E Owns Three World Records The first record consists of making an 840-mile trip from John O'Groats, Scotland, to Cornwall, England, while using 6.5 miles per kilowatt-hour (verified by the Guinness Book of World Records).

    California Route 1 AWD in Iced Blue Metallic. I used a filter on the color so it came out more purple in the picture.
