Hey yall, with the cold snap that is hitting or about to hit a lot of the country, I'm curious if there is anything to be concerned about with the vehicle. For example, the next three days for me won't be getting over 10deg F. Now, we don't plan to be doing any road trips in that time and can...
Hey everyone,
I've heard from a few Canadian Mach-E owners now that they put foam rubber pipe insulation on the hoses of the battery/cabin heating loop and it solved the cold weather heating issues at highway speeds for them. Makes sense, seems to be that there is a lot of air flow under the...
@EVinsulate is now officially selling its EVglass solution for the Mach-E. Head on over to evinsulate.com to order yours.
Big thanks to @Mach-Lee for proving the benefits of creating a thermal break for the panoroof to reduce cold weather heat loss/convection cooling of the cabin here...
The locking tab on my C$1242 Ford Charging Station snapped in the cold - I’ve had it 5 months. Clearly Ford has not tested this thing in a Canadian winter. The wand works however it can easily be pulled out.
I worked with Ford Support who refuses to do anything about it. They told me to go to...
Heated garage. Precondition
120km commute, all highway. ( Drove at 100kph)
Vent temp dropped to 15, windshield would only half defog.
3.6.1 OTA has been downloaded.
I was shocked when I arrived at Fairbanks' 2 DC fast chargers - there were 3 VW ID4 Pro S there as well. There are only a handful of EVs here in central Alaska, so it was quite surprising to see four in the same place, at the same time.
I thought they might just be one of the testing teams...
I updated my GT PE, Sep 21 build, with the latest software (via FDRS and Mongoose) a week ago. Following is confirmation of the improved DC charge rate:
Executive Summary: Despite the cold temps, the charge rate remained surprisingly steady all the way to 99%! Only a couple of percent drop...
Anxiety Justified? California route one, rear wheel drive, EPA 305 miles. I am a very ‘light footed’ driver. Have not pressed the brake once and over 50 miles of driving.
BTW, regenerative braking better than any discs (gave up 2016 Jag for this)
