Great video. One small update that would make a HUGE difference is if the battery % upon arrival was visible somewhere on the screens. Currently you have to go to Settings -> Trip Overview -> Details.
% upon arrival is way more useful than GOM.
Great point!
Nice video. I see on your map screen that the guess o meter says 3.7 miles/kwh. Wow. That’s about 1 mile better than we’re seeing on our 2023 GT.
Today I did a quick experiment on energy usage with our MME GT. We’ve owned our 2023 GT since late October 2023 and now have just over 2900 miles. There is a town that is 39 mile trip for us and it’s 20 miles on an interstate and the rest on 55mph state highway with a few stoplights. We’ve done this trip enough times to expect 2.5 -2.7 miles/kWh under the following circumstances: cabin heat 68-70F, seat hears on for about 5 minutes, steering wheel heat on about 10 minutes, HVAC auto and with 1 bar of 3 illuminated, AC off, radio on, cruise control at speed limit +2, lane keeping assist/blue cruise on, and headlights in Auto.
Today we did the trip and I turned the lights to off and the car’s m/kwh computer showed 3.0 miles/kwh.
Temperatures and weather have varied but today was in the mix for a normal trip.
That’s a huge consideration if planning a trip, that’s potentially a 10% range difference!
Just looking for your experiences.
Thank you so much for this walkthrough of the in-car and Ford Pass app. I've only taken a handful of long road trips with the Mach-E. Planning with different apps helped a lot, but last summer I got burned by not paying close enough attention to the route plan. About twenty minutes out from a charging session I got the details that the navigation was sending me to a car dealership's Level 2 J1772 and a two hour charge session. This was in a sparsely populated area of West Virginia/Pennsylvania boarder, and it was way too late to reroute to a DC fast charger. I have learned to pay closer attention, but this guide will help a lot. Also, looking forward to the day when DC fast charger infrastructure is more significantly built out.
ooof 2 hours! I hope the rest of your road tripping experience was easier! And definitely hoping for a future SOON where we have multiple DCFC options as backups! - Liv
This is great you guys, can't wait for road trip! Planning on making my own video as I have to plan so much more in my leaf 👋🏼🤣💜
Your backdrop is really making me miss California SO MUCH! (no fret, eventually will move back ;) )
You'll be back before you know it!
Can you do another video on calculating efficiency using the trip energy mi/kWh menu. Also using the charge assist feature!
Absolutely, great input, thank you! - Liv
Thanks, I’ve been subscribed and watching your videos for a year now and always like it!… I finally received my Mach-e Select 3 weeks ago…. I’ll be taking my first (short) roadtrip next week. As much as I have all faith that it will go without problem, watching you guys gives me more confidence :) Can’t wait to see the tutorial with 3rd party app (Apple Maps, ABRP, plugshare). At least here in Quebec the Electric Circuit app seems to also have a good trip planning function.
Congratulations Sacha! What are you going to call it?! - Liv
ABRP is so buggy I can never even use it once. I don't know why. Is it really that great?
@@MachE_VLOG I’m not 100% set on it… but I was suggested, and kinda like it, Night Fury
Very impressive features, snappy ui as well. Hope to see you guys on another road-trip.
Thanks Ron! That would be great! We definitely need to head up the coast again - Liv
I'm going on my first long distance road trip Dec 19, going to Whitefish Montana for a week, then back to San Marcos. Should be an adventure..... :)
Have an awesome trip Randy! You should come to the EV-LC holiday party before you leave! - Liv
@@MachE_VLOG tell me more, where and when is the party?
Thank you!
Great overview. Thank you
Thanks Bob! 💙⚡ - Liv
Thanks. The in car nav function works well just as you describe. I don't see the navigation option on the recently updated Ford Pass though. Am I missing something?
Another great video! I used both Sync and Fordpass on a trip in our 2022 GT from Ft Collins, CO to Carlsbad, CA last summer and still learned a lot from your video. But this brings up a couple of questions. Is there a default setting to minimum charge level to arrive at a charging stop with? Does it estimate range based on profile setting of the driver? My wife drives faster than I do so she gets less range 🙂. Does Sync tell you what charge level to charge to when you arrive at the next charging stop?
Congrats on the amazing car. 👍🏽
Thanks Nick! - Liv
Thanks for a Very informative video undecided which to buy a 2024 mach e or the lighting still thinking 🤔
ooh both amazing vehicles. If you need the functionality of the Lightning, it's hard to beat! If you don't, the Mach-E is pretty epic! - Liv
The latest version of the pass app for Android doesn't seem to have the trip planner.
Great review, thank you both! One question - do you still use ABRP? Does it provide similar results to Mach-E planner?
I do sometimes but we haven't done many long trips this year. I was thinking about doing a video comparing Fordpass, ABRP, and Apple Maps.
Do you get to see Tesla charging stations now in the trip planner?
It looked like the 2nd route was going up Highway 1. I'd take that, just for the scenery -even though it would take longer. I'm impressed with Ford's navigation system. It's got many more features than I'm used to with my Model 3. I'll be curious to see how these routes and details will change when you have a NACS adapter and can use Superchargers. Hope you're among the first guinea pigs to test that out in a couple of months!
We're ready to take a road trip as soon as the Supercharger network is open and we get our adapter!
I got notifications fixed!!! Now I get them.
Yaaaaay!! 💙⚡🔔 - Liv
Great How-To. I am confused by the fact that Ford Pass has all the latest chargers in my area and Sync has nothing that was added recently. How does the car pre-condituon under these circumstances? I have asked Ford but can't find anyone who understands anything out of their tiny silo.
I'll see what I can find out.
Your app is different from the one I have in Canada. Don’t have the same settings. I’ve tried to change a charging stop on the FordPass app but it just adds a stop but not a charging stop, and it keeps the one that was supposed to be replaced. No way of setting the charge level of the car like yours.
Why is Ford giving out different versions of the app?
Cool stuff but not very accurate unfortunately. Charging stations are a major crap shoot.
The FordPass app sent us to a Walmart delivery van charger last week. Ugh.
What Walmart was it? Definitely use the record feedback button and let Ford know! - Liv
I really enjoy my Lightning but the charging suggestions on the route planner are absolute trash. It routes to known broken chargers and totally skips new DC chargers. I could literally be 20 miles from my destination with plenty of range and it’ll want to route me 40 miles out of the way to go charge. I pity the people that follow its advice that don’t know what they are doing! I was 4 miles from my house and it wanted me to go 13 miles out of the way to a L2!😂 So far to go Ford!
That seems odd. I've never seen those issues.
@@MachE_VLOG I enjoy y’all a lot BTW😁. I live in the Panhandle of Texas which is slowly building out infrastructure, but I should be able to set my house as my destination and get there with less than 10% without being ‘rerouted’. Would love to visit with Ford about it!
