Just an update. Going to VB from NJ I started with 100% charge. Plug share app was showing only 1 charge station so I drove longer way via Washington DC. Plenty of EA stations. Around VB there are few ChargePoint stations.
on the way decide totake the shorter route via Delaware. Pohanka Hyundai...
I am planning a trip from New Hampshire to Virginia beach, VA (mid April).
I will be stopping in NJ for overnight where I can charge to 100% before driving to VA.
It's about 335 miles (from NJ to VA) so I need to charge somewhere.
Also I intend to spend 1 week in Virginia Beach then drive back...
Hi,
I have had my MachE for 14 months now.
Few hand wash and couple car washes.
I see swirl marks (see pic).
Any recommendation on polish to remove those marks and something to protect it going forward?
Something that would last few months?
Thanks
I have rapid red Mach E. After 14 months there are some swirl marks.
Can you suggest a good product to remove those and protect it (something that lasts few months)?
Thank you,
Robert
I just tried to add this dashcam to MachE.
Everything works fine (it's connected to cigarette lighter power).
Except... when I shut down the car and leave the dash cam is still on.
I have turned off the parking mode in the dashcam.
I have not checked after few minutes if the dashcam is still...
Sorry to hear about OPs issues. Car supposed to work because we rely on them so I understand the frustration.
I must be lucky because my 21 (put in service Jan 2022) has worked great for us.
I was out on a trip for Jan/Feb and came back March 8 car started right up and works.
I was afraid of...
Yesterday went to North Conway.
There are Level 2 chargers there as well.
There is one at Weather Discovery Center.
Free (but they ask to put $5 donation).
2 hours and 38 miles added while we walked round and got lunch.
Worked out perfect to drive to/from Nashua, didn't have to stop anywhere...
Another note on mountain driving.
EV makes it a breeze.
Unlike ICE engine, the motor noise remains same (very quiet) even when you are going up 7-8% incline.
Going down I used 'L'
In all it felt like I was driving on the flat road, you don't feel anything different at paddle.
It really is...
So I am back home after driving all the way to Kancamagus lower falls and back (via Lincoln NH).
I started from home at 217 mile range 98% charge.
Reached Tilton Tanger outlet malls around 11:15 AM.
Range was down to 172 miles (car used 45 miles of battery range for about 55 mile drive).
So...
" I didn’t realize there was a 50kW in Tilton. "
- That's why going to stop by on the way to mountains so I know what range I will have.
BTW: The Irwin Ford dealership is close by (where I bought the car), wonder they will let me charge there and if they have DCFC charger....
Plugshare shows two CCS/SAE 50kW plugs at the Tilton location.
Tanger outlets.
120 Laconia Rd Ste 217, Tilton, NH 03276, USA
Above location will take 205 miles.
I only need to add 60-70 miles to make it back home.
I can't make it back to Manchester, NH (trip shows 244 miles).
Here's what I...
Hi,
Wanted to take my MachE to white mountain area.
Drive from Nashua NH to Lincoln NH, then to North Conway via Kancamagus.
Total trip is 260 miles.
My new max range is about 220 on full charge.
So I do need to stop somewhere (I could push my luck and get back to Manchester NH).
Ideally I...
Looks like it was a browser issue (Works on Edge).
I manage to activate the trial (Again as I had done this previously when I got the car).
And I see the remaining balance too...
On the ford.com/connectedservices
It has a button to 'Activate Trial' but it does not do anything.
What is weird that back in March/April I was able to charge at EA without credit card.
Something changed and now it does not recognize my car.
I don't understand why I have to activate it again if...
Last few times the EA doesn't recognize my MachE.
I was on a phone for 20 min and finally EA rep was able to enter my VIN to automatically recognize my car.
I can still charge it fine using my credit card.
I have about 230KW still left to use (It did work once previously).
Anyone had this...
I was just stating that if built in navigation worked with voice command it would be great to pull up chargers while driving.
Looks like it does...
Wife drives this car so I don't spend much time in it...
