NH Seacoast Charging News

[Guss-E 2021]

I was just at the dealer I purchased my Mach-E through (through not from because I ordered online). McFarland Ford right off of Exit 11 off of Route 101 (about six miles from the beaches).

I'm automatically on guard with a low bar for expectations from any dealership, but the folks at McFarland have really been quite nice. No ADM if ordered on line (only on order cancellations). But what about the charging?

McFarland has confirmed it plans to spend the $900K for the "elite" EV certification. That means it will have 10-20 DCFC installed, free to use for Ford customers (we are just required to bring them food ). They are not sure which kind they are going to purchase (EVgo, Chargepoint, etc.). I also neglected to ask about a timeline.

They currently have three MME's in stock (thought the Rte 1 is being shipped to a buyer in CA) as well as a Lightning Lariat (heavy ADM on that right now).

Mostly, I'm happy to hear McFarland is on board for the future. This is a good area for EV sales (reasonably affluent, educated, etc.). And when I say they are right off the exit, I mean you can see them from the highway. They are next to a Hannaford grocery store as well (who is also planning on installing chargers). Great spot to recharge after a day at the beach before heading home (if west is home).

Totally agree, had a good first impression dealing with them when they patched my tire after my car was towed to them late yesterday. Quite surprised when they called to say it was ready early this morning. Expected them to tell me it was unrepairable because of the size and location of the road hazard sticking out of the tread. The inflator kit was not up to the task, btw. Ford Roadside assistance came through with flying colors also and luckily the tow driver was able to get enough air in the tire to drive the car onto the flatbed without winching.

Good to know, thanks.

Check out driveelectricnh.com! I went to a car show last May and saw a wide variety before some guy rolled up in the orange GT..oooh..sold. I have a 23 premium grabber blue on order.

I've already have a DENH sticker on my car . I'm on their owner's list. Just finished showing at two events. Both events (Exeter and Portsmouth) had excellent turnout, both in vehicles shown and attendees. Saw my first Lucid Air in Exeter and my first owner F-150 Lightning in the wild in Portsmouth.

Nice!! I didn't even know about those shows until the day before and already had plans. Boo! My husband drives a Kona EV.

I don't know why but I just love the Kona in that bone white. I talked to a Kona owner at the Exeter event. He was really nice.

That was us!

YASS!

So wait you are in this forum. Did you folks get an MME? McFarland has three in stock though the CA Rt1 is sold (they are shipping it to California ironically).
