Took my 2023 Mach E Select to Five Star Ford in Fort Worth for the 7500 tire rotate and check of systems. Total cost was $ 19.33 including tax.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
We bought a 2023 Mach E GT and absolutely love it. We have solar electric at home and during the day charge for free.
That is great to hear! I love my 2023 Mach E Premium. I wanted the GT but at that time when I bought mine, pricing was alot higher than what they are now! Thanks for sharing with me!
I live in a city where there is Free DC fast charging , so for the past 9 months of owning my MME i haven't spend any. Thanks to Flo for providing this free charger. I live in an apartment building and home charging is not possible. True that range plummet significantly during winter but me mostly doing city driving it doesn't really affect me just have to FRee charge often... used to spend bout 300 Canadian dollar on gas with my Prior vehicle which is a Jeep Wrangler. In short ❤ my Mach E
That is awesome to hear! Glad you love your MME
What city? How cold? I'm debating but have home charging, but can ger -30'.C.
2022 with 50k miles still going strong.
That is great to hear. I'll be right there soon. Lol
Any range degradation? I have a Lightning and wondered thx
I have not seen any so far on mine.
There is a you tube about a Ford lightning hitting 97,000 miles with 3% degradation which is a very encouraging sign
Also show maintenance, like the tesla guys do, as a ford owner, i'm used to literally everything failing (not just the ice). Vent flapper, ptu, rear diff, rear seat / heat/cool, a lot of sensors fail, wheel bearings, sunroof issues (might be maintenance), brake calipers, and toe links.
I have the same color in my 2021 Premium. I also traded in my 2013 Escape for this car. I always wanted one, so I had to get it. I love this car, it's a lot of fun to drive, and it's definitely a head turner!
Thanks for sharing. It is alot of fun to drive and yes, I get alot of people looking at the car and some ask questions about it. Love my #MME
I've never actually seen a vapor blue on the lot... didn't realize they had a nearly iridescent blue sheen.
It is a really nice color. And it also has a different color depending on the lighting. Love the color!
Our elec cost is 11 cents kwh - we don't have time of day - so our would cost a lot more. I'm thinking about getting a '23 MachE so our watching all the reviews I can find. I don't drive a lot - and we do have solar at home but would have to wire in a 240v line into the building (garage not attached).
I think with the 11 cents kwh it would be cheaper than gas. I know for me and the area I live in, it worked out for me. If I wasn't on the live pricing plan, I think it would be 9 cents kwh.
I also pay 11 cents/kwh with no off peak rates. I can tell you for sure it is WAY cheaper than ICE cars. I get about 3.5 miles/kwh in the warmer months which equates to under $32 to drive 1000 miles. In the winter in NW Indiana (so yes we get cold) I averaged about 2.7 miles/kwh which would make it about $40 to drive 1000 miles. Plus you factor in no oil changes and with 1 pedal driving I will likely never have to replace the brakes
I have an EV (Ioniq 5) and would like to offer an additional way to calculate fuel cost savings: Just divide your EV's miles per kWh into your electricity cost per kWh and you get the cost-per-mile. Do the same for an ICE, dividing the cost per gallon by the miles per gallon. Take the difference and that is your savings-per-mile. I get 3.4 miles per kWh and my electric rate is .16/kWh (😳) so my cost is .047 per mile. Multiply this number by miles driven per year and you get your annual fuel cost.
Not correct. The electrical costs have all kinds of riders that raise with use. It's crazy hard to figure out. As someone who charges fees back to tenants.
Yep, that's how I figure mine. My '23 MME awd extended battery GT costs me between two and two and a half cents per mile to drive, depending on the season. Fuel price, 2¢ a mile - Driving fun - Priceless!
That is great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
I am on what's called Live Pricing with my electric company and at night my kWh are very low. 1 to 2 cent a kWh. With all the driving I do, my Electric Bill has only gone up about 30 maybe 40 dollars a month. If I am off, then 50 dollars top.
Nice car
Thanks. It's a fun car and I love the way it rides!
Hey.. thank you for the comparision between charging cost and gas cost. I have the same car but i am getting it charged at Electrify America which is nearly equivalent to the gas cost. Can you please tell me more about the charging station you are following and if it set up at home, would like to know ow more about the rates, kw consumption and its setup. Thank you
I have a charger at home. I am able to take advantage of low charging rates at 1 cent a kWh at night time.
Hi Brent, My Electric company is SCE (Soutgern California Edison) and I am on a Agricultural Rate of 5 cents per kilowatt. I rarely charge my 2023 Tesla Model Y from 0-100 % and normally charge from 40-80%. With all the miscellaneous other charges on my electric bill, what is the best way to calculate my energy usage which I'm using 240V 32amp during my charge.
Do you know how many kwh you are putting in the vehicle? If you know that, then you can see how much it is costing you for electricity besides delivery costs and taxes.
can you go over the maintenance costs you've had? what have you replaced? anything go out on it?
I've spent maybe 50 dollars in Maintenance Fees. The first 10,000 inspection was free. The second one was half the price due to points I had from buying the car new. Other than that, there was nothing else needed. No oil changes, or anything like that. I hope that helps.
@@evandtechlife thankyou so mich! Very helpful information! I just got my brand new 2023 mach e a few days ago and payed for the Ford triple care plane and everything else for 8 years. Starting to sound like I might not need it to much 😂
@Erby__ it might be worth it if something does go wrong. All I have is the manufacturer warranty which is almost up now since all the driving I do. Best wishes and enjoy the Mach-E.
Best car
I love my Mach-E!
@@evandtechlife i love my to ❤️
Do you pre-condition prior to driving and charging?
Yes I do. I have a set schedule and my departure times are all set up.
So what does Ford recommend for charging, 80% or 100%?
How much mileage in the summer at 80% charge?
I charge mine to 85%. And 100% when I know I need the longer distance in one day. I'll have to look at the summer months but right now it shows about 180 with charging to 85%.
@@evandtechlife When I charge my EV to 80%, it tells me I'm good for 265mi but that's all theory because I generally recharge when it gets down to 25%. Right now, it's at 32% with 106mi left. It will probably read around 50-60 miles when at 25%. You know, this is the first time I actually tried to find out my range between charging. I know it's supposed to be close to 4.0mi/kwh. In any case, I'm pleased with the range.
@@Rick9482 do you have the 91 kwh battery?
@@evandtechlife It's a Tesla 3 LR and reported to be 82 kWh with 75 kWh effective.
I have the 71 kwh
Have you had any software issue since you owned the car. Other owners, 2022 owners have had issues with their software.
I have. But it was quickly fixed by calling Ford and they did some trouble shooting with me over the phone. My Blue Cruise was not working when I first bought the car. But that was quickly fixed. What issues are other owners having?
@@evandtechlife some utubers that had a Mach E said their cars were in the shop for one week or more . Some said the car just died and Ford couldn’t fix it for a few days. Some people were having problems getting into their cars, software issues. I like the look of the machine E but maybe watching too many videos seems Mach E was having more problems than the Hyundai Ioniq 5. I guess I just don’t want to have the same problem I had years ago with my Ford, it was a lemon and Ford didn’t do a thing for me except take my money. Great video and thanks for replying.
I have 4 neighbors all close friends, and each owns either a '22 or '23 Mach-E (I bought a '24 :Lyriq) None of us have any regrets switching to EV's. And none have reported any software issues that were not cleared up immediately by Ford. The issues were mostly with Blue Cruise. GM super Cruise has not had any issues for me. I don't have a YT channel because I have nothing to report. We all took a road trip together in December for a cross country ski trip and had a blast. Our 5 EV's handled the trip nicely and in comfort. I am not switching back to ICE. My advice is to buy the biggest battery offered You cannot not go wrong with that decision.
You said youy lost 50% but then say your range went from 220 to 150 which would be 32%. I live in a cold winter environment and 30-35% on average was my range loss vs warmer months.
That sounds about right. Although I feel like it's about 50%. Lol.
I have a 2021 Mach E premium AWD with 26k miles. The ride is a little harsh, battery is garbage in winter and in the summer the sun roof needs more tint.
I agree about the battery life especially in the winter. I LOVE the way mine rides. During the winter months I have it in Whisper and Engage mode. During the Spring, Summer and Fall months I use Unbridal and I enjoy the ride!!!
Are the GT's still NERFED at 60 MPH?
I'm not sure about that. I have never driven one do to the fact that I would want it. Lol
I test driven GT... going 65 and flooring pulls like a mf! Planning to get one.
It definitely can move!!!
Damn. 2k miles per year? I thought I drive a lot
I wish I didn't do all the driving I do. But I am thankful that I have the Mach E because my monthly gasoline budget would be close to 400 a month with all the miles I drive.
Why doesn’t Ford use a heat pump like Tesla? May be better in cold weather.
Not sure. It does make sense. Maybe down the road, they will do something like that.
why Ford doesnt incorporate a heat pump system to help the battery in the winter time boggles my mind...Tesla is still way ahead in the game
Maybe someday!. But I still love the Ride!!!
How much is insurance?
Insurance is a little higher due to the way the car is able to accelerate quickly.
@brentsreveiws registration is higher too. Oregon wants to tax by mile. Because they can't collect gas tax on electrics. So rates higher all around.
Registration is $100 higher where I live. I'm ok with that since that could be may gas bill for a week and a half of driving.
Your math logic is wrong, unfortunately. You fail to consider the number of total miles you can drive per kWh (which is an EV’s eMPG). That will determine the number of times you need to charge per month x 13 months x your price per kWh to charge. Your math is off by a factor of 10x (200 miles x 13 months = 2600 miles) but you’ve driven 26,000 miles in 13 months). I’m not saying EVs are not more efficient than gas (ICE) vehicles, but the $ analysis is more involved than your math). Other EV vs. ICE cost savings include no tune ups, no oil changes, no belts, radiator etc to monitor or maintain). On the flip side, EVs eat up tires faster than ICE vehicles due to the faster acceleration, cornering, braking). This results in faster tire wear and replacement. 4x Michelin tires cost upwards of $900 - $1200 these days..
How the user is driver also affects the cost of maintenance. If you drive regularly within the speed limit and don't accelerate like a mad man, I'm sure that would make a significant impact. But these EVs are heavy so ofc that affects the tires regardless
Thanks for the information. I know the other night I put 49 kWh into my MME and I was being charged 1.5 cents a kWh which cost about 75 cents to get the charge I needed for the next day.
I respectfully suggest that the math was very accurate when you figure in the reduced range in the winter, tailwinds, long up and downhills. Did you wind up needing to charge outside your home much? If so do you think that was comparable to gas costs? I enjoyed your video.
A mullet in a mustang perfect
Very dirty interior!
You should make the review 5 seconds. That's all that car is worth.. their thermal management system is at the very bottom of any EV maker You can get unbridled Is that what they call it? For a whole 5 seconds.. That's like bringing someone to an actual race track with horses and saying you want to see my mustang? There it is where up it's done running never mind
