So our car will now work with a Tesla charger?
I just subscribed. Picking up a 23 GT this week. I'll be watching.
Congratulations! What color? - Liv

Today, I learned some new things! Great video as always.
A video that most people need to watch - thank you for making and sharing it
Thanks for information
Great video Patrick!
Thank you.
Thanks so much!
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.
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?
Thanks for this video, very informative as I just purchased a mach e and the Ford dealer did not provide all this knowledge
Congrats on your Mach-E! What trim and color did you get? - Liv
Niiiice Review!!!!!!
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.
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.
Doubt it..
@@DK-pr9ny what do you doubt?
@@joweb1320 That your electric provider is not charging you for electricity between 8-6.
@@DK-pr9ny I live on the coast of Texas and I get 100% wind electricity for free between 8pm and 6am because there is surplus electricity at that time. My provider is Green Mountain Energy.
I have been doing it for 7 years so far.
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 didn’t discuss pressing the unlock button for dc fast charging as well as setting up charging limits! Otherwise good intro.
Will the Ford navigation system route you to a Tesla Supercharger once they are allowed to charge there next year?
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.
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.
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)
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.
You need to make a video about how to close the frunk. Something complicated.
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?
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.
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.
Charging is easy and just getting easier!
You know it! - Liv
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.
So tax ppl more huh? Like find more ways to tax, so we can subsidize government mandates?
@@mikehawk120 Taxes makes societies work. Without tax you'd have anarchy.
@@Antiorganizer no one said no taxes, specifically I replied to your government/carbon tax verbiage, and using that money for private industry.
@@mikehawk120 Carbon tax is needed to encourage people to reduce harmful pollution. Those that invest in cleaner solutions are in turn subsidized by it.
That's a smart strategy.
Unfortunately, some dirty politicians use it to change the story and its purpose, and get away with it, because there are enough dumb ignorant people that are easily impressed.
No one said what you are defending though in your reply?
What if I get in the vehicle and try to drive away while it's plugged in?
It won't let you if it is charging.
Item for the next video, accessing Tesla Destination Chargers.
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.
Can a Mach E be charged at a Tesla station?
The Mach-E can now charge at over 15,000 Tesla Superchargers with an adapter. We have lots of videos about that: ruclips.net/p/PLfA2RnLckJA3f3zoUcOgcDggDhZVRov3S
With NACS…. Just plug it in.
#done
That's not correct. It depends on if the station supports Plug & Charge.
Can one own a Mach E who does not own a smartphone?
You can, but there will be some differences in your experience. For example, you'll have to use a credit card to activate your fast charging sessions and you won't get notified when your car is charged.
For sure! Especially because Mach-es come with key fobs.
Charge Point and EVgo have cards you can use to activate their chargers and not need a smart phone.
I'd just get a smart phone 😊
Lol, it costs more to charge in public than gas . At home, it may be less than gas.
Depends on the area. Many times it can still be cheaper. Our last major road trip was about 25% cheaper than gas.
This is off topic, but what is your take on Ford suspending all EV vehicle manufacturing? I have a Mach-E and sort of feel like Ford has deserted us.
Ford hasn't suspended any EV manufacturing.
Fast charging is not for free …
Or you could put gas in your car and be on your way !
How boring!
Stop repeating! Get on with it!
And this is why a gas vehicle is better than this EV crap.
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!
