I just bought my second Mach E from Stivers Ford Lincoln (great experiences, no games, no ADM) in Waukee, IA—on the outskirts of Des Moines, the capital of IA. My salesperson said she has sold 6 MMEs. Four went to the Iowa City area, home of the University of Iowa, and two to me who lives in a small town in the opposite direction. The owner of the dealership has a MME, but where are the rest of the Iowa ponies?

This is a great car! C’mon, people! Expand your horizons. If this old granny can adapt to an EV so can millions of other people.

Hi, I’m not in Iowa, but I did just come through recently to ride RAGBRAI! We drove the MachE from CO, and had good luck charging throughout Iowa, including Waukee! Decent number of charging stations at Walmarts, Caseys, and some Kwik Stars. We found slim pickins up in the driftless area, Charles City has a fast charger at a Kwik Star (and only 80kW at that), but not many else in the area.

Congrats on the purchase, I hope you enjoy yours as much as we like ours, and I’m sure we’ll pass through again for next year’s RAGBRAI.

RAGBRAI is great. Nothing better than eating church lady-made pie with 10,000 of your closest friends.

if you ever need electrons in SW IA I’m happy to share my Level 2 with you.

Ouch. Mine sat for two weeks and I thought that was a long time.
