Tips for a new owner

[TrashPanda]

Turn it back in and get the GT. You'll be glad you did especially if you keep a ev for a decade or more like me. My 5 year old GT Performance is still a awesome beast. Knew I was keeping it so bought the top fully optioned trim for longevity. Tiimeless design higher power numbers tons of performance parts and still keeps up with the modern high powered ev in 26.

It's not a lease and GT is out of budget

I’ve been thinking about this. Happy to support a knowledge base.

As for the original poster question…

You don’t say if this is your first EV or not.

If it’s your first EV, then you want to download the apps. EV owners have apps: PlugShare, the charging apps (like Tesla and Electrify America). Yeah, you can Blue Oval it, but if it doesn’t work, you’ll want a backup. Also, try a road trip! Drive it somewhere that requires a fast charging stop. You’ll gain confidence!

If you’ve owned an EV but this is your first Mustang Mach E, then you’re going to need to develop an opinion on these subjects

• Rally springs and sway bars
• The seriousness with which Ford is taking EVs
• Frunk size between 24 and earlier and 25 and later (there is only one correct answer to this one)
• Ford’s technology, including its connected navigation, blue cruise, and FordPass

Glad you’re posting!

First EV ownership

Don't keep the emergency door pad code or start code on your phone, put them in your wallet. If you are using PAAK and your phone dies, you won't be able to see the codes on your dead phone.

Ask me how I know...

I pick up my Demo '25 Select, AWD standard range tomorrow. What tips and tricks do you have for me as a new owner?

Congratulations.

Health to enjoy.

Like you, I've just bought a used MME ('24 model with 12,000 miles) - and it is also my first ever EV.

Just browsing this forum (with its knowledgeable users) has been so, so helpful.

- RTFM (read the funny manual)
- Read as much on this forum as you can
- Read the posts on Facebook Group "Mustang Mach-E Owners"
- Read any other available sources that are in the same realm

Constantly do this over time. Don't expect to acquire all the available knowledge and experience in an immediate gratification term. This is a work in progress that takes time. I'm speeding toward a 5 year ownership, and I continually seek out any and all material to enhance my knowledge base.

Make sure you activate the connectivity package in the car. When you are home and have connected your charger, go into the navigation app and set/name your location. This way, you can set a charge schedule that could save you a little bit as most electric companies have a reduced rate at specific times for summer and winter months. This may not matter so much if you just plan to use the 120V charger as it only charges at 3 MPH. If you upgrade your charging situation, having a charging schedule is great.
