road trip

  1. About to take first road trip - anxious and looking for advice

    Title says it all. Two areas I’m particularly curious about are: 1. Which navi map should I use to help with planning charging stops? Google Apple or the Ford navigation? 2. I bought an A2Z adapter so I can use Tesla Superchargers and I’m a little confused on how they work compared to standard...
  2. Need tips for planning road trip

    Hi folks, I am a new MME owner and am about to set off on a couple fall road trips. I am a bit anxious about surviving these trips as I have significant range anxiety based on one 175 mile trip I have taken. Upcoming trips include one of 270 miles, the other 330 miles (each one way). One...
  3. Mach-e Car Camp Checklist & Lessons Learned

    There have been a few Mach-e & car camping posts with some of the basics compiled below. So far we’ve only camped as a less expensive alternative to hotels which have been short stays, but there are some considerations for longer stays as well. I’ll continue to update OP, so please share your...
  4. Resident Mach-E Forum Celebrities

    These two social celebrities have been in my living room a hundred or so times, but have never met me. I have been watching them since before I bought my MME 2023 GT, and in fact they helped to convince me that the Mustang Mach-E was what I wanted. I had previously reserved a Rivian, and had...
  5. Return trip from NC to Ohio using ABRP with Live Stats (Screenshots and a few notes)

    I wanted to share some details from my return drive from NC back to Ohio using ABRP Premium connected to a VLinker OBDII dongle for real-time stats. I missed saving the drive down to NC due to not realizing I had to specifically opt-in to save drives after bumping up to the Premium subscription...
  6. 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...

    Road Trip Boston to Upstate NY First road trip with the Mach E CR1 2023 Had Penny (that’s her name) charged up to ~100% when we left Boston. Lots of traffic leaving the city (not surprising for Friday afternoon). We hit our first DC Fast charger in Albany at Electrify America outside Walmart...
  9. Road Trip: 2570 Miles from Flagstaff to Houston and Back

    I had a work conference in Houston. Usually I fly, but I wanted to push my comfort zone a bit and double my longest EV road trip by driving to the conference. I considered bringing my truck and travel trailer, but I didn't want to burn a bunch of gas and I have this wonderful EV. So, I packed up...

    Recorded and uploaded part 2 of my road trip (1000 miles round trip). On the way back I faced a number of EA stations that weren’t working, as well as charging in near or below freezing temperatures. Outside of the main cities in Iowa (bulk of driving spent in this state), the charging...

  12. 2100 mile road trip from DC to PEI, Canada and back with a toddler: All good!

    The overview: In August, we road tripped with our toddler from DC to Massachusetts to Prince Edward Island in “Eva”, our 2022 California Route 1 Mach E. Overall, the trip went really smoothly. We broke the trip up into 3 days each way (on account of the toddler, not the EV). Eva’s range...
  13. An Almost “Perfectly Uneventful” Road Trip from Northern VA to Cleveland, OH

    A little over 600 miles in total, this was my first “long range” trip with the Mach-E. Bottom line up front, the trip was smooth and largely free of issues. Even in mid-30 degree temperatures, ascending into the Appalachian mountains, and driving 60-70 mph for the most part, I still managed to...
  14. Long holiday trip via Mach-e GT

    My wife and I had a last minute opportunity to spend time with family over XMas and so we threw everything into a completely charged MME GTPE and hit the road. My garage kept car got dirty. We went from beautiful Palm Springs, CA to Flagstaff, AZ and then on to Albuquerque, NM. We had sunny...

    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...
  18. Long road trips in my Mach-e, standard battery success stories and lessons learned

    It's been doing a lot of traveling the last couple of months. I have over 5K miles on it already. I have a standard battery. We've found changing at 20% is the most efficient and route plan accordingly. We can go about 2.5-3 hrs, down to about 20% (sometimes a little less) take a bathroom...
