  1. Where DCFC make economic sense

    I came across this article on the vast differences in DCFC availability by State and Province. One of the "so whats" is that average DCFC economic viability begins around the 15% average utilization rate according to EVGO. There are some states well above this. Hopefully we will see more DCFC...
  2. How often do you road trip?

    Defining a road trip as any journey that requires at least one DCFC session. I also added choices for not taking the MME due to DCFC "issues" and using L2 charging at the destination. I voted less than annually since I've only taken the MME out of town twice in 27 months. Once with DCFC and...
  3. Electrify America stations "coming soon" now missing from app and website?

    It's no secret that DCFC availability in the Midwest is a barren godforsaken wasteland, especially in northeast Indiana. I check EA's "coming soon" map on a monthly basis hoping we see more activity in this state. I've noticed at least one "coming soon" station in Louisville KY is no longer on...
  4. Tracking the HVB State of Health - how much decline is normal?

    When I first got my MME in November of 2021, I didn’t even consider tracking the High Voltage Battery (HVB) State of Health (SoH). But then last Fall, while tracking other data using a OBDII scanner, I noticed the SoH was much lower than the last time I noticed. I was kind of shocked with the...
  5. Which charging networks are worth paid plan?

    I have owned my MME GT since Halloween 2021. I am close to using the last of the EA credits (500 to start - down to 49). I travel largely in the mid-atlantic states of PA, DE, MD, DC, and VA, and it seems EA and EVGo are the most frequent DCFG networks, and Chargepoint, Volta, Sema-connect, and...
  6. 2000 Mile Road Trip: Charging and Efficiency of the Mach-E

    We had a road trip planned and happened to take delivery of our extended range, RWD MME 2 weeks beforehand. Now or never... we dove head first and packed up the car, our 4 year old daughter, 2 year old son, and dog and headed from NJ to St. Louis. For those who like to delve into the data and...
  7. How worried do I need to be about the effect of DC fast charging on battery longevity?

    My home charging station hasn't arrived yet, so I've so far been using DC fast chargers while I wait for it to arrive. It's only been two days, and two charges. I always charge only to 80%. I've read that DC fast charging can reduce the lifetime of the battery. But how serious of an effect will...
  8. Mach-E Road Trip: Seattle to Los Angeles and Back - Experience, Data, Impressions

    Start date\mileage: 04-24\789 End date\mileage: 05-27\5803 Please excuse the verboseness of this post and feel free to skip down to the end to see my conclusions and perceptions of the vehicle. Figured since I have the ability to work from anywhere I’d do a road trip and test out my range...
  9. Fast Charging at Electrify America: Lessons learned

    Hey guys, I just completed a mini road trip from Dallas to Austin (483 miles at 3.3 mi/kWh) and I did run into some issues at EA while fast charging. We did lose a lot of time with avoidable mistakes so I figured I'd share those and maybe that could help someone. Don't trust the sticker on the...
