Brunswick and Back rewrite

[rad1234]

2024 Mach E Premium with the smaller LFP battery, 7000 miles. I have never needed to fast charge before although I have done it a few times to figure it out. Trip was 210 miles each way and the GOM was showing 180. It is a little conservative, but garage was 40 F and outside was 4 F so I know I would have to make one short stop.

Trip was from NE Indiana to Brunswick, Ohio via US6, US20 and Ohio303. A Chevy dealer in Napoleon was right on Business 6. Checked out the 2025 Corvette. It sits so low; I don't think I could get into it. Arrived in Brunswick with 30% SOC. Charged at the Ford dealer a mile from my destination. Four working plugs out of six, so I charged to 97%. I had all day and wanted to depart full. No one else at the chargers the whole time, otherwise, I would have stopped at 80%. Two days later returned, 32 F and a quick 14-minute stop in Napoleon and arrived home with 18% and the orange warning on (36 miles range).

Hats off to Snyder Chevy Napoleon and Liberty Ford Brunswick.

You made your trip much longer by charging at those chargers. Using PlugShare you can avoid problematic chargers. Charging to 97% was why it slowed down. Since it was the only charger, and you were shopping, how do you know that no one showed up and then gave up?

Should have mentioned that they have three chargers, with two plugs each, so six in total. Two were out of service. No one else there. The shopping, I was away from the car for about 15 minutes. If it had been busy, I would have stopped at 80%. And like I said, not in a hurry. The Napoleon stops were as much for a potty break as a charge. And got to check out the 2025 Corvette.
