Bye the way, I don't think the 30 minutes for the full charge Electrify America (EA) gave you is correct. I have read elsewhere that it will take about 45 minutes to get to 80% with Electrify America. The last 20% usually takes about as long as the first 80% which is why you won't usually charge to 100% unless you need that much to get to the next charger on a long trip.
They might know the actual charging curve for the Mach-E since they are partnering with Ford but I'm pretty sure it can't charge that fast. Max rate is 150KWH and you probably only see that for a few minutes if you start charging at about 10% charge.
One last tidbit, currently EA Pass+ rates for 125KWH and up are 90 cents per minute which would be $27 for 30 minutes. A lot more expensive.
Hopefully, by the time we get our Mach-E's they will change their rate structure so it Is only 60 cents per minute.
I was using the subscription rate whish is $4.00 per month. I will not use it that often but I want the ability to get the cheapest and figured $4.00 per month is worth the savings.
Currently my 2017 Fusion Sport AWD gets 25 MPH on the highway...so at 10.80 gallons of gas to go the same distance with gas here being $3.77 per gallon means the gas equivalent is $40.72. No matter how you slice it the Mach E whether you save money by charging at home or forced to you EV America is a HUGE savings over gas plus maintenance
