Ford Charger for Mach-E

[timbop]

EA's rates are 3 tiered: 75 kw and under, 75 to 125kw, and over 125 kw. The SR Mach E charges at 115kw max, so it is the middle tier. The ER Mach E charges at 150kw, so it is the highest tier. What you want or what is fair isn't the issue. Honestly, if you charge that much publicly the Tesla is a far better deal for you.

EV has two pricing packages. One which is drive up and for the 350W it is roughly $0.99. However if you get the subscription of $4.00 per month then the same 350W is 0.69. My guess is that the Ford Pass gives you the same prices as the $4.00 subscription price. In short for 2 years you get the lower rate and then you pay $4.00 per month after that. I spoke with EV at length a few months ago and we did some figuring based on just the stats of Ford. They did not have info on the Mach E. Based in California at the .69 rate we came up with about $25 for the 270 miles and would take roughly 30-45 minutes of actual charging. To me that is awesome. My car is a 2017 Fusion Sport AWD and it gets around 25 MPG on the freeway. In southern Cali gas is about $3.67 per gallon. So my car to go 270 miles would cost me $39.64. I like the $25.00 figure.

I'd take that one step further... if one charges that much publicly, an ICE or PHEV is probably the better deal.

From what I've heard, it locks in the price for the charging rate used at the start of the charging session for the whole session. Thus why it says 1-350 instead of 126-350 (for instance). So if you start at 150, then taper down to 120 then 95 then 45, you get charged at the 1-350 rate for the whole session because you started above 125.

Also, those rates vary by state. You can see them on the EA interactive station map...

The E will be more like 3.5 mi/kwhr,-----says who?

Yes, the standard range will be the middle rate of $.50. The extended range will be $.70. As someone else said the rate is determined at beginning and set for whole session.

Ford. Not in so many words, but 300 mile range and 98 kW battery. Depends on how much of the 98 is useable of course. If just 85 kW are useable, then 3.5 fits. No way to get to 4.0 and 300 mile range, though.

We absolutely agree on that point, and have for 2 pages now: Electrify America's charging policy is a deal breaker for you and you will need to get something other than the Mach E extended range.

Well @LYTMCQ is also in Cali if I remember correctly, so will be paying plain kWh charges unlike the rest of the country (for now).

Might make more sense to start a DCFC thread though.
