Ford Mustang Mach-E Ultimate Charging Guide
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- The Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the latest long-range electric vehicles to hit the market and, thanks to the appeal of the Mustang name, for many owners, it will be their first EV.
This video covers everything you need to know about charging the Mustang Mach-E, both at home and out in public. After watching this, you won't have range anxiety - you'll have range euphoria. Enjoy!
Note: In the video, we say the Mach-E comes with 500 kWh of free charging on the Electrify America Network. That's not correct. The Mach-E comes with 250 free kWH of charging.
Some early Mach-E owners had their free charging doubled to 500 kWh because their delivery dates were slightly delayed, and that caused the confusion on our end.

As a hardcore EV enthusiast, this is an absolutely fantastic video. It's incredibly impressive how you were able to include so much accurate information, while making it easy for everyone to understand. I learned quite a bit from this video and I own two EVs!
I am a new Mustang Mach-E owner as well as a first time EV owner and this is a FANTASTIC video! Thank you so much!
I'm so jealous of you the nearest I'm gonna get to a mach e is watching videos good choice and enjoy
How long did it take for you to get your car after ordering it?
How has your experience been so far? Esp with public charging.
@@s.givens-williams5863 weve been waiting on ours since early February. Word is hopefully in a few weeks now.
@@s.givens-williams5863 I didn’t order it. I walked into a dealership and they had 6 of the model I wanted. Purchased it that day.
I’m a retired mechanic. My daughter bought the Mach E. I needed to get an education on the kWh aspects of range and charging. Tom does a fantastic job of explaining electric car terminology. I enjoyed the video so match I watched it twice.
Thank you!
brilliant video - I've had a Mustang Mach E (which I love) for 3 months - and finally watched this. It was so well organized and cleared up many questions. Thank you, Tom!
Thank you! New owner and this video was a much more comprehensive rundown than what was offered by the dealership. Drive safe!
Thank you so much Tom. This video filled in a lot of gaps for me about home charging so much so that I feel I could explain it to others pretty easily.
You're welcome!
Have a mach e ordered, and have seen so many videos of charging issues. Feel much better after watching. Thanks!
Hi Tom, I have watched your video over and over because I am so impressed with the facts you provided. In fact, I used it as a guide to instruct my electrician regarding the 240v outlet installation. I am days away from the delivery of my first full EV. I have a PHEV but can’t wait to drive the Mach-E premium. Thank you for a great job well done. It is the best charging guide out there.
I just bought a Mustang MachE and these videos have been SO helpful! I just subscribed. Thank you for making such informative videos. It's definitely helped my anxiety about making the switch to electric!!
I just ordered a Mach e select and this video answered all of my charging related question. What a great video! Good job and keep up the good work!
This was SO informative! After watching, I plan to just go with what Ford provides. The dealer knew next to nothing about charging. I like that he covered so many options- from home charging to public charging. Great video!
Tom! Truly Awesome charging guide 👍 this guide is for everyone with a CCS car, I truly like the simple terms used just about anyone new to EV with a CCS plug will fully understand everything stated in your guide .. amazing job on this video Tom! .. 👍
I bought my Mustang Mach E yesterday, i charged when it was at 18%, and in this morning it is only 36% 🙄 now i know why. This video is so useful
Why
@@Rizzocartel I think he was using the 120 volt adapter which allows you to charge from a regular wall electrical outlet. The method is rated at 1.5 KWh so only adds about 4 miles or range every hour.
Better get 240 volt
@@irfanhusein1445 ohh
Get a 240v nema 14-50 plug and it will charge much faster. I just use the mobile charger that came with mine. Works great. We have one that’s mounted to the wall and the second one that came with my second MME goes with us.
Wow... as someone exploring my first EV, this answered a ton of questions. Excellent level of detail - thanks.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on RUclips. We are in the process of ordering our first EV and really like the Mach E.
Thank you!
Finally a video that makes sense of all aspects of this very new subject. Well done Tom.
As a newbie to EVs, this is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! It answered all my questions.
Glad it was helpful!
These charging guides are super important for née drivers or for those trying to get the most out of their batteries. Thank you for this great series! As always you are THE authority on all things EV charging.
Thank you, Cesar!
I just got my new Mach E, and this video answered all of my charging questions quickly and simply! Excellent video :)
These are very insightful and educational videos. I'm loving the color of the Mach E. Thank you for making it easy to switch over to a BMW i3. I don't think I'm going back to a ICE.
One of my friends from college was from Oregon and had never filled his own gas. We went to college in Hawaii he took his friend to the airport and had to fill up on the way back. Dude took thirty minutes to figure out how to pump gas 😂, so I guess we all don’t know how to do it! Sorry couldn’t help myself as that was one of the funniest gas stories I have heard. This is such a good video though thanks for the charts on the breakdowns. Most people just throw the KWH’s at you and the range gained per hour and then move on so pretty refreshing to see such an exhaustive video on this.
I'm considering a Mach E and this video helped to explain charging. It was very informative. Thanks for making it!
This video needs more credit. Really well done, informative and covered every question I had. Looking forward to my mach e whenever it arrives lol.
Thank you. I just made another one that is condensed into 15 minutes: ruclips.net/video/O20RsdjBoYg/видео.html
Ordered my Mach E last week. Electrician will be installing a 14-50 outlet shortly and I ordered a Grizzl-E EVSE because my daughter is getting a PHEV and having a dedicated EVSE will benefit both vehicles. Then to wait for my Mach E. Thank you for this great content!
This video was extremely informative. I just bought a Mach e and this made it simple to understand FordPass and all my charging options. Thanks
Just ordered my mach e - this is such a helpful video for a first time EV owner.
I see very similar comments and wasnt going to add an extra one, but this video more than deserves it. After days of research and reading SO MANY different opinions, this video perfectly summarized exactly the core content and then some! I feel so much more informed!! Thank you
The most relevant EV video on RUclips! Most EV channels are mostly fluff, you provide helpful real-world information and tips.
Very well done video, Tom. This is what people need to help change over to BEV. Very detailed video.
Bro, I can't say how awesome this video has been (I'm not even finished yet and I had stop and comment). I just leased a Mach-E yesterday and I've already had so much anxiety about being so unfamiliar with all these new technologies, terms, and networks. You've singlehandedly dispelled every reservation I've had about my decision to go electric. Everything about charging this car makes infinitely more sense now. None of the information on the FordPass app managed to explain things to me as well as you have in just 20 minutes. Thank you so much for making this video. *subscribed*
Thanks. I have another one on the Mach-E here: ruclips.net/video/O20RsdjBoYg/видео.htmlsi=K4T7fYys4ChosUHl
Awaiting my MME. Your video was great and answered many questions in advance of receipt of of my first EV. Am already very happy with my purchase.
I just bought Mach E today! I had so much anxiety as this is my first EV. YOU ARE AWESOME! This has dismissed any anxiety I had. This was so easy to understand and watch!
This video is very detailed and answered a lot of questions many others didn't. Thank you
Thank you. Good educational video on charging. I am novice to electric cars and Was think about buying one. I was not sure on the workings of owning and charging one. Cleared up some questions I had. Thank you again.
Great video, learned a whole lot. The mach e will be my first EV so this video just set me at ease about the whole charging things both at home and on the road. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Just excellent! New subscriber based on this video alone. Especially appreciated the nitty-gritty details that, for some of us at least, allows me to determine that my existing AC panel will nicely accommodate Ford's mobile charger's draw...while also knowing that the mobile charger will fit our lifestyle.
This video is so absolutely helpful. We got very minimal instructions and guidance from our Ford dealer. I wish they would have broken it down like this. Thank you so much
I work in Ford Brazil and you information is fantastic! Fantastic!
I live in NY - in the cold I loose about 50 +/- miles of range depending what the temperature is. My Mach E sits outside.
Keep making these videos about the Mach-E. I'm learning a lot!
Awesome video. It really helped me to wrap my head around all the different charging options. Thanks!!!
Nice job! Thanks for the great, detailed explanations! Keep up the good work!
Tom is almost the "godfather" of EV commentary. I have corresponded with him going back to 2015 when we both had BMW i3's. I have never personally met him, but he has always had a wealth of information which he shares liberally. The only thing I would add or emphasize to his discussion is that the chart he shows is about Level 2 home charging. Most ICE drivers are leary about "converting" to an EV because of charging time. I hardly ever "wait" for charging...what happens while I'm asleep is not something I'm "waiting" for. But if you're on the road the chart would look totally different. With DCFC (DC Fast Charging) you are rarely talking about more than 'minutes' (not hours) to charge to 80%. I recently drove my Mach E from Salt Lake City to LA. I stopped to charge 5 times, but I only "waited" for 10 minutes, total. Why? Because bathroom breaks, grabbing a sack of peanuts and/or a soft drink all happened WHILE the car was charging...so 4 out of 5 times when I got back to the car it was already close to 80%. For daily driving (charging at home) you NEVER actually wait as long as it would take to fill a gas tank (because it happens overnight). In moving from ICE to EV your entire paradigm/mindset has to shift to a whole different set of behaviors and expectations, but after you get used to that (maybe 10 days max), it's actually (a) something you don't think about and (b) much easier than your former life.
Great and informative video I learned a lot, thanks Tom
Thanks Tom. I will be picking up my 2023 Mach-E in a few days and this was helpful.
Awesome video! Thank you so much, I’m a new Mach-e owner and this video has helped me tremendously.
Excellent video.. you cover the specifics in a straight forward way.. unique I think within RUclips Mach E videos.
Just took home a Mach E GT today. I’m so excited to learn everything about it.
Thanks for this. Ours arrives next month. This was very helpful.
The practical day to day operation of EV's is so often missing from shows, an excellent, easy to follow, review
i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Cohen Kody Instablaster ;)
@Jaden Jasper I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jaden Jasper It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Cohen Kody Glad I could help xD
Detailed and very useful...without product bias
Thank you so much on what you need to do at your place on how to charge !
I purchased a Mach e and will pick it up Saturday. This video was very informative and also helped me think differently about the huge amount of money I was going to spend on a EVSE because I realize I don’t really need it .
Man awesome video! Just got my Mach e today and happy i ran into this video
Extremely helpful video for a new owner.
Thanks for making this Tom. i am a total EV noob, and will need this info for when I get join in the revolution.
This is such a great informative video, I’m a new owner and have been confused. Thanks.
Great video. Very informative. Can't wait to utilize the information. Placed my order so, I'm just waiting on my Mach-e.🙂
Thanks! Perfect video for a brand new Mach-E owner.
Good thorough explanation. My Mach-e GTPE is my 2nd ev. Other one is a VW e-Golf that I got for commuting a few years ago. I have a Chargepoint 40amp home charger on a 240v circuit. Works great and provides a little over 25 miles of range on a hour.
Thank you! Very helpful in my decision to purchase!
Thanks so much for this video, very comprehensive !!! Your video explained all what I questioned !!!!
Very good video thanks for sharing good idea for viewers to watch twice for all that info to sink in well done
Just bought mine yesterday, this was heaps helpful. Cheers!
Thanks so much. Great video and very informative!
Great video Tom! I wish Ford provided a little more length on that 240V adaptor though.
Absolutely informative video
I'm picking my Mach E in a couple of weeks & this was SUPER helpful! I doubted I would watch the whole video when I clicked on it & I was happily mistaken!
Just bought my Mach E and LOVE IT. We just use it around town so I'm thinking of sticking with the 120-volt for now.
With the 240-volt system, we're looking at another $800 for the charger from Ford and $2,000 in electrical installation charges.
Thank you for the excellent video!
Looking to buying a MACH-E and this video really gave me valuable info towards my decision. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very informative! Thanks.
Great job, Tom. Thank you.
(Edit: this was from mid-2021 and may have since been resolved) At 30:00 I would say that Kyle of Out of Spec found that once you use up for your free 250kW of charging with Plug and Charge, there's no way to switch over to a paid Electrify America account. This means that once you exhaust the free charging, you can only pay the highest cost using Plug and Charge and will not have access to the discounted rates that EA subscribers will have access to.
I hope Ford and EA are working on this or have already solved it. The guest rate is significantly higher than the discounted member rate. So while Plug and Charge is great during the free period, it becomes significantly less useful once it comes time to start paying for charging.
Plug and Charge needs to be able to switch over to the discounted member rate after the free period is over.
Turn off plug n charge and use the EA app until Ford and EA get their act together with offering the EA plans with plug n charge.
The most insightful video on charing Mach E, Ive seen thank you
Thank you!
Excellent video that goes into the details of home charging.
Thank you!
So much useful info! I have an order for a Mach e GT Performance due before Thanksgiving. So excited! The future is here!
Ordered my non perf in early June. No VIN or real ETA yet. When did you order yours?
Watched the whole thing, great help
Great info. Thank you!
Enjoyed the video! Very informative!
Great video I am a new owner and this was very helpful
Highly informative video, thank you 👌
Very interesting and informative video! Thank you for posting this. It takes quite a bit of mystery out of charging. Also, I live in an apartment building that is planning on having chargers installed for some of its tenants who own electric cars. Is there any spec charging station you would recommend? Much appreciated!
Wow! Thanks for all the helpful information! I learned a lot! I'm looking at buying a Mach E in a few months and want to be educated beforehand. You may have saved me a pile of $$! I am pretty sure that I can do fine with the charger that comes with the car! Thanks for all you do!
If you’re trying to buy in a few months you should order now. Current wait time is over 4 months.
@@samesch85 Thanks!
Very informative. Thanks
insightful and very articulate.
Excellent video. Very informative!
Thanks for this. Have you done this same information vid for the new 2023 Mach e ? I’ve heard the standard range is a LFP and can be charged to 100% more often, and the charging curve is better and charges faster after 80% now. Really appreciate your videos.
You should definitely put some affiliate links up for the chargers brother. I'm about to order one of them and would've loved to have given you credit for it.
Well explained. Thank you.
Great video Tom - especially for new EV owners. One minor point about the Mach E . . . pre-conditioning . . . the cabin will ONLY pre-condition if the car is connected to power. So if you are not plugged in at work, the car (at least currently) will not warm up for you unless you manually start it.
OK, Thanks - I didn't know that. Most EVs will allow you to schedule precon even when they aren't plugged in, so I just assumed that. Thanks for the corrention!
Great video, thank you!
Thanks for the education. Good to know what you taught me.
Thank you for this! Very informative!
Thank You for help and explanation
Awesome help video. Thanks 👍🏽
Outstanding video! Thank you very much for the education 👍🏽
I do have one concern once my Mach-E arrives. Do you find that it's okay to leave the vehicle plugged-in unsupervised at a DC/Fast charger in public? Do you have concern that someone will unplug it or steal your charging components?
Or do you typically stay in close proximity to the car while it's charging?
Thank you again!
Your a wealth of great information!!!
I put in my deposit for a Mach E after watching your thorough video. Thanks!
Good choice!
Great color 😊
This might be the best tutorial I've ever seen.
Makes me wish I had 80-grand to buy,
insure and pay tax on one of those things.
Good day, nice and informative material. I would like to also have ventilated seats as I live in sub tropical climate and V2L power to load feature, great for power failure on grid. Then definitely this car would by my next one.
