Electrify AmericaAwesome man thank you so Whats the fastest way to charge the mach e when on road trips?
Likely closer to 45 minutes in a single charge session, but it will depend on a number of factors. You will get a clearer estimate if you use A Better Route Planner to plot out your trip. The built in navigation will automatically add chargers as needed, but ABRP allows for more customization. PlugShare is also worth checking to get a sense of chargers along your route and by your destination.Thanks guys great videos so pretty much if I go on a 350 mile road trip I would need to stop for atleast two hours to charge is that correct?
It all seems a lot more complicated than it ends up being, you'll get used to it pretty quickly. The video @Tim_C linked lays a great foundation- definitely worth a watch. Do you have a home charger set up?Ok thank you again I Come from a world of diesel trucks and raptors so this is very new to me..
No, once you get the hang of it you'll figure out during the charge session you may only need "X %" of the battery to charge up to do safely get to your destination; which in turn will decrease your time spent at DC Fast Chargers. Then you can just level one or two charge overnight at your destination or Fast Charge at your destination if you prefer. It's a much less big deal than some non-ev owners make it out to be.Thanks guys great videos so pretty much if I go on a 350 mile road trip I would need to stop for atleast two hours to charge is that correct?
Think of your charging needs in this way. Charge so that you arrive at your "end of day" stop on 10%-15% SOC (State of Charge). Then, overnight you will awaken to a full battery. Use hotels that have L2 (Level 2 - 240V) chargers (moctly free). Use an L2 at home (super inexpensive). Again, overnight will result in starting each day at 90% (Or higher but only if needed).Ok thank you again I Come from a world of diesel trucks and raptors so this is very new to me..
