First in the Mid-Atlantic?

[BK2EV]

Never been to Rocket Frog but I've seen it advertised.

We got Solace, Old Ox and Ocelot nearby and several others all pretty close. Lost Rhino is good for some homemade Root Beer too.

Let us know what time tomorrow and I can try to swing by.

Awesome! I expect I'll get to Rocket Frog around 1:30 or so. I'll post an update when I depart.

I've had a complication. While I'll be going to Rocket Frog I may not be in my Mach E. It died last night -- low voltage battery went dead. I'm trickle charging it now to bring it back to life -- hopefully. Not sure I'll feel confident to drive all the way over there in the Mach E. I'll get more out later.

OH NO!! What do you think happened?

Great question. I didn’t think that was possible unless the high voltage battery was dead too.

 

[ChasingCoral]

Low voltage battery LVB was drained. I trickle charged it back to life. Back to my plan!

Hey @BK2EV, @Rafgar and anyone else. I’m off for Rocket Frog in my Mach E.
Waze on Car Play says ETA 2:00!

Coral - OK. Will be there in the Fusion PHEV.

Wasn't there a tweet from someone at Ford about how worrying about this battery was a thing of the past?

Did it die while it was connected to the charger at home?

 

[ChasingCoral]

Made it to Sterling! Here I am with @Rafgar, @BK2EV taking the pic.

Fingers crossed the return is as smooth, then I’ll drop it at the dealer for diagnostics.

I’m pretty sure it was off charger. HVB at 75% through.

That's really odd that the 12V drained like that. Good luck!

Not that it was a nice day for a drive, but I was looking for excuses to put some miles on the car and getting to meet some fellow Forum members was a great reason. @ChasingCoral @BK2EV it was nice meeting both of you. I am up to 180 miles on the Mach-E and it is fun.

It would be cool to hear if Darren Palmer is having any on these issues. What are his thoughts?
