thinking about a 175 miles trip from NY to PA, I have a select AWD

What does the trip planner say?

 

[sotek2345]

Any place to stop for a quick fast charge along the way?

With a stop along the way, no issue.

I suspect OP hasn't used A Better Route Planner, or the Ford Map planning in the app, or maybe even fast charged.

Definitely charge it first.

Uh I could do 175 miles easily without a worry on a 4X, shouldn't be bad at all on a select, Just use plug share or abrp to figure out where there's a fast charger on the route. Heck even the FordPass app lets you plan a trip and set it to what you think your State of charge will be when you leave. Should be very doable

Averaging about 60mph with temps in the teens, I’m getting around 200 range (more like 240miles in 30 deg weather). Precondition the car and be cautious of your heat usage and you should be fine.

There is an Electrify America Level 1 charger at the Walmart Supercenter in Stroudsburg, PA. It's just off I80 over the NJ line.

Trip plan complete.

I don't think EA has Level 1 chargers. Level 1 are 110V. You are probably thinking of Level 2.

 

[Flint302]

Yup, you're right. CCS charger--Level 3.

@vinnyz - you probably want to take some time and read about the charging networks that exist. If you want to use the free charging hours, that's through the EA network.

Don't know what you mean by "trip planner", but the Ford network is simply a group of networks that should work via Ford's Plug and Charge, but only Electrify America has the free hours.

The Chevy Dealer was likely the software being cautious, and you not knowing how to properly use it. There are oodles of threads here talking about the different apps, how to best use them, etc.
