So our car will now work with a Tesla charger?

A video that most people need to watch - thank you for making and sharing it

Today, I learned some new things! Great video as always.

As always I find your videos and information you share helpful! You mentioned how to view all you charging sessions but not how to find it, would love to no more about this?

Great video Patrick!

Great basic video. I wish there was a way to export the Fordpass charging logs to a spreadsheet. I have to do it manually. One of the advantages of EVs over ICE is the "fuel" level is more graduated. Making note of the %SOC after the charge and again before the next charge, I can easily calculate how many miles per kW I get.

Thanks for information

Thank you.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for this video, very informative as I just purchased a mach e and the Ford dealer did not provide all this knowledge

I’m not sure what kind of phone you have but in Apple Maps when you plug in a route it will also automatically add the charging stops and what the expected battery percentage would be as well as how busy it is at that time. I haven’t used it yet but I did put in a few routs just to see how it would work.

Yeah, we have a couple of videos showing the Apple Maps integration. Very slick.

Small thing but could show swapping the plug ends on the mobile charger. Otherwise can't wait for 201 - Fast charging demo and discussions of charge curves.

Good idea. Small thing but it actually causes issues for some people because if it isn't fully connected they get errors.

You need to make a video about how to close the frunk. Something complicated.

Thank you for the video. We are considering a 2024 Mach E Premium Ext Battery. Just curious how long it would take to DC fast charge from 10% to 100%?

@Meldog1851

6 күн бұрын

I just bought a ‘24 Mach E premium regular battery but you should know that it automatically slows down charge once it gets to 80%. Like our cell phones, your car doesn’t want to always be at 100%, it wears out the battery faster.

You didn’t discuss pressing the unlock button for dc fast charging as well as setting up charging limits! Otherwise good intro.

Thanks! Maybe next time show people how to set the charge time to save money on electricity. I charge only between 8pm and 6am and it is free.

Helpful info for EV newbies, Patrick. Two questions. First, does Ford offer more 240V adapters than just the NEMA 14-50? Second, do you think Ford might switch the charging port with a NACS connector to the other side of the car in 2025, so that owners could pull into a Supercharger and plug in using its short cable without occupying two parking spots?

@MachE_VLOG

The Ford charger only supports the NEMA 14-50 plug but it is cheap to pick up a different charger if needed. No word on the NACS port location for 2025.

@@MachE_VLOG Thanks! Good to know. If I do end up getting a Mach-E, I guess I'll just forego its portable charger and keep my Tesla set, with all its adapters. And if the Mach-E doesn't yet have NACS, I'll invest in a TeslaTap adapter for it.

Will the Ford navigation system route you to a Tesla Supercharger once they are allowed to charge there next year?

@MachE_VLOG

8 ай бұрын

Yes, it will. The current Tesla SuperChargers with MagicDocks that allow any CCS car to charge have already been added. It is also believed that the Mach-E will be able to use Plug & Charge at SuperChargers next year.

Charging is easy and just getting easier!

I’ve been trying to find out about charging percentages, I understand daily up to 80/85% but when should we charge to 100…!?! A coworker owns a Kia ev & his manual states if you drive it under 10% to charge it to 100 but the mach-e doesn’t have any information regarding (that I’ve ran across anyways)

@MachE_VLOG

There is no need to charge to 100% with the Mach-E. I only charge to 100% the night before I'm taking a road trip.

Well done Patrick! Off topic: Blue Cruise is finally coming to Europe. Do you guys need to subscribe to it for a monthly fee? Over here it looks like Ford want's to charge 24EUR ~ 24$ per month for it.... 😞

It's a bit complicated here. Ours came with 3 years of BlueCruise for free. But new Mach-Es in the US only get 90 days. You can subscribe per month or for a year at a time.

Have you noticed an improvement in your DCFC charging curve? If so, have you found that it's repeatable?

There haven't been any recent updates to the charging curve that I know of. Recently Ford did add preconditioning recently but I haven't been able to test that.

I actually like the look of this EV, I can't say that about most of them. I refuse to call it a mustang though. With that being said, EVs have a long way to go before it they become what I consider to be "user friendly". A bit like computers, they were around for a long time before they became what I consider to be "user friendly" I wanted nothing to do with home computers till 2001 personally.

3 miles per hour charging actually works for a lot of people. A 12 hour charge would give you 36 miles. Many can do 2 local errands per day with that. As for DC charging, it is very disappointing how electricity costs nearly as much as gas. I think this is really hurting the EV industry very badly. The government needs to start charging a carbon tax and use those fund to develop, enhance, foster, the EV progress.

Interesting. This is why an EV is better than gas: 95% of the time I charge at home. Park in the garage and plug in. It's full when I leave the next day. No going to the gas station once or twice a week. No oil changes. Less maintenance. And we have solar panels so we pay nothing for electricity. And on top of all that, we have one of the quickest Mustangs ever made. Pretty awesome!

Stop repeating! Get on with it!
