Another comparison video

Good to know that there's a quality journalist who spent plenty of time with the actual cars so he could do a thorough and complete analysis.

Note: They’re calling the Mach E a crossover.

Pretty good analysis. I do like the portrait orientation because that will show more navigation options ahead of the car's route. I also like the look and feel of the center knob, having tried it at two different dealerships. It is a pretty natural set up to me.

Hearing again that ID4 and VW is offering free EA public fast charging for three years - perhaps Ford will offer something more enticing their current free kwH incentive - wishful thinking I guess and not a big issue for me, but may encourage more drivers to take it for longer drives

Remember that just about the time VW offered 3 years free charging, Ford dropped the Mach E prices. Would you rather have the money up front or free charging?

Good point forgot about that ... of course I will take price break any day

re the VW 3 years free (DCFC) charging - given that DCFC is supposed to be used sparingly because of battery health concerns, it seems like VW is encouraging "bad" behavior here, no?

Is it just DC charging or any charges on that network provider? EA does have some Level 2 chargers, Chargepoint plenty, better deal if those can be used as well.
