This episode reminded me of that Seinfeld episode where Cramer drives the Saab to the last drop of gas😅😅

@5:42, Alex says "bump" as he literally drives over a bump. Amazing.

This is the best deep-do-do video Ive seen in a while!! keep it up!!

Loved this casual video with you Alex. Keep it up.

Alexxxxxxx, I've been waiting for this!!!

It's hard to believe, but AonA videos keep getting better and better!

Great job Alex. Keep up the great job.

Wow Alex I was so impressed your range test estimate lined up with the drain the battery reality so very well. It really shows you have an excellent route for that real world range test. 288 real world with fairly good weather is an excellent value. Ford has done a very nice job here.

Impressive results! I'll do a similar test next month with my Mach-E in Colorado with some cold temps.

Purchased same vehicle. Mine will be delivered next month, so I'm excited to watch your upcoming reviews on MME. Thanks for pushing the range. It's good to see the real range with normal driving, although I'm a 75 MPH driver on highways.

Hey, I think I saw you the other day driving on Capitol Ave near Great Mall. The exact red Mach-E, I was wondering who got their hand on a Mach-E but didn’t think it was you. Great content, one of a few channel I subscribed.

Wasn’t interested in this car at first, but I’m getting there. Seems like a solid electric choice. If you can swing the price.

Thank you for the great video. It confirms what others have reported (Edmunds); range figures add up to meet or exceed expectations in the MME.

Good job with the math! Lots to consider. I am getting my Mach-e soon. Can't wait!

Great video Alex! Really looking forward to all your tests over the next year. Would you mind sharing what temperature you were driving out during this video, and what sort of impact you think that the lack of heat pump might have on range?

It is intriguing to see so many people give the new Ford Mach E and Ford Bronco the thumbs up! Way to go Ford 👍

That looked like it was a fun test! Seems like a really great car and will be a good competitor to the Model Y.

Just what I was hoping to see

Saw one on the road the other day for the first time. Looks nice and very exciting for the EV market

Again, great review to see on a very interesting car, my 2020 Kia Soul EV (64KWH) use the also SK batteries, without all that hash over battery issues in the Kona and Korean supplied LG batteries. I think Ford has done very well with this first real true EV build! Look forward to the plug and charge Electrified America charge session!

Love your channel. One suggestion for your range test is to do a constant 70 mph test on a two way loop. Your range test has to many variables that you can otherwise eliminate such as traffic, red lights, how you accelerate and brake, hills etc.

very interested in this car, looking forward to more videos

I love the opening theme of this video sounds very retro..😎

Usually mileage ratings are extremely optimistic, good to see the Mach E easily meets the specifications.

Red IPace on the left at 10:44. Cool. EVs are really taking over 👊🏽

Funny, I saw you driving yesterday in san jose on ringwood ave/trade zone blvd! First time seeing mach e too

Alex I look to u first for anything pertaining to ev. I hope to see a thorough run down of the Mach-e’s battery. Especially thermal management. I live in Canada w/o a garage so keeping that battery warm and cool is my top priority. That’s why I like the bolts thermal management.

I find it really impressive that at mostly 70mph driving the Mach E gets more than its EPA range. I typically assume EPA is more accurate if you assume you're driving 55MPH with no HVAC, because that's what it seems to mean for most cars. This is a good thing for Ford: I think most people would rather be pleasantly surprised by their range than disappointed when they wanted to drive 70 for the full 270 miles.

Under similar condition, my Chinese made 60kwh can do 180-200 miles per charge with a little bit of safety buffer on the bottom. It seems that 88kwh with a heavier frame does not bump the range that much, 240 miles per charge is reasonable. But the price is double. So im waiting for the second gen ford ev with 100kwh package. That will worth the upgrade!

Wow you can drive fast in that state! Nice test, Alex. EV isn't for everyone, especially in Canada where we have extreme cold often, but I can see the appeal. How do you find the tire/road noise without the engine sound drowning that out?

Fast forwarding to the end gets u everything u need to know and only spend a few minutes! 👍🏻

Excellent video. Thanks for that. Apologies if you already mentioned it, however, compared to the Rav4 prime you've tested previously, how does this hold up? We have a prime on the way but curious about the Mach E.

Excellent result with the Mach E, would it be possible to run the test again with the Model Y with similar weather and until empty like in this test? I noticed in your previous test in the Model Y it was not driven till near depletion and also the weather was 94 degrees. Great video as always Alex, thanks for the quality you put into your videos!

Hey Alex! Can you do a video on the actual charging curve at a DC fast charge station? I would love to compare the charging rates from 10-80% to what the Model Y does. Also what was the peak charging rate for the Mach-E? did it ever reach 150kw? Thanks for the videos!

This Mustang Mach E looks better and better. I was considering a Toyota Rav4 Prime, but now I might just pull the plug and go completely EV because of cars like this one and the upcoming Ioniq 5. BTW, you've had a lot to do with that change of mind. I've watched many of your videos over the last year and you've slowly changed my mind to go full EV. I'm currently driving a 2004 Prius (with 275,000 miles), which when I bought it brand new and fully loaded, was considered the most technically advanced highest MPG mass produced car in the world. Time for an upgrade. Thanks again for all you do to inform us, the car buying public.

Alex’s face with 3% battery left 😬😱 no range anxiety😂😁

the high speed driving was mesmerizing :D

Low SOC (

Good job Alex, looks like the March E could be a solid buy.

EXCELLENT video. Thanks for putting the time into it, and driving to the bitter end. 2 Questions that I have : Do you enjoy driving it better than a Tesla? 2) I see that you were driving with the windows up. Did you have the ac or heat on at all? Thanks

Interested to see how your time with this goes.

Thanks for super helpful Info... I like this car even more after few videos proved that ford estimated Mach E very pessimistically. I wonder how far my RWD model will go. Feel like 320 is doable.

Ugh that 19th Ave is starting to get busy again like before 2020...haha wish I could have joined the ride along and give a rear passenger REVIEW pov!

I’m creeped out. The test drive here starts right where my house is lol.... It was going so fast but I knew the entire route you were driving

How much did you pay for your 25 miles of range at the fast charge station?

WELL DONE FORD MO CO

Man, that's impressive.

another issue that might prove to be very useful, is show route planing with the Mache-e with chargers in route, on thing that my 2020 Soul EV is missing and even Android Auto I have to populat teh chargers to get google assistant to find ones along my router.

Very informative. Can we vote on our favorite music now?

I really wished your lived somewhere cold and we could see how badly the range is actually affected and real world

Did you turn off regen? (IIRC you did that with some of your earlier Tesla tests). If so this is a very impressive result indeed!

How’s the legroom compared to the RAV4 from last year? Do you think someone 6’5 would fit okay?

My initial thought was...It's dropped 10% and only driven less than 10 miles? My milage may vary is the take away. So...Looks like it's the Toyota Venza for me! Thanks Alex! This was very interesting to me.

I have a 2016 Genesis G80 5.0. Love the car! Now I’m looking at the Mach E as a second car. Your long term review will help make my decision. I want the GT version. Sorry not a fan of Tesla. I just hope there will be more charging stations in Sacramento area soon.

Very informative! Alex, did you have air conditioning or any climate control on? I had a Kia Niro and it would say 271 miles range, but with AC on, it dropped to 234-ish. Thanks!

That's awesome. I love the conservative estimate for range. My Fiat 500e is overly optimistic which is annoying because I have to plan on less range than it says I have. But the good news at least is that the 500e will still go for at least a mile once it reads 0% (I haven't had it actually die on me even when it says it was out of battery).

Your loop looks good, hwy, country roads and city traffic. That is real world to me. Please review charging speed. Heating and cooling cabin. Driver assist. Home charging on 240v.

225 tires are cheaper to replace

I love my Ford Mustang Mach E-GT Space White and fully loaded.

Bravo Ford! Well done.

not happy with the " Ipad-ish display in the center - have to take the eyes off the road in order to adjust or change the air conditioner/heater settings....bummer. was gonna buy one but this is deal breaker.

I really want to get the California Route 1 trim level but the website doesn’t really define how different it is from the premium and it doesn’t have all wheel drive as an option

It would be very helpful for Mustang buyers outside California to do the same route in a much lower temperature (say, 40 degrees Fahrenheit). Does Ford provide estimated ranges at different temperatures? Thanks!

Well this makes me hopefull for the lightning pro

ok Alex, I was listening to your Polestar audio and this Ford Mustang, am I thinking the Ford is actually quieter?

Any chance there will some day be a long, boring interstate cruise to test the range for that use case? That seems likely to be where range really has practical consequences

Im impressed. My model y never came close to my predicted range !!

Drive to Texas and tell us how great it works. How many available chargers thoughout the country for this vehicle?

What did you do about your leased Durango?

congrats! so how long did it take to charge to add 25 mi.?

Really liking the Mach E as an alternative to the Model Y. Charger network is the deciding factor at this point. Still have to learn the ins and outs of the EV's as I'm still an ICE driver.

It seemed that few drivers slowed down to take a look at the Mach E. Everything in the physical world is passe in the Bay Area.

What are your thought on Wendover Productions’ latest video on charging infrastructure

One aspect of where you live and are able to test electric cars is the much greater proliferation of charging stations. Probably 90% of US does not have this concentration of charging outlets, meaning not only locations but total number of electric "pumps". It will be very interesting to view this video in 20 years when charging locations are as common as fuel pumps. For now you are in EV paradise and most of the country is in EV desert. In much of US people commute in F150s, CUVs and SUVs, and it is rare to see an EV. But the change will come. It will be interesting to see how many Mach E and ID.4 are sold in my EV desert this year. And yep, the folks going 80+ mph in Texas are not going to get 270 miles from their Mach E. 🙂🤠

Ford really took "under promise, over deliver" to heart on the EPA estimate. And that's great! I would rather be pleasantly surprised than expect a certain level of performance and be disappointed.

Alex, I think these cars have capacity to reduce the 100% charge degradation and they wont kill the battery all the way either. It's software defined. What you see isn't the reality.

How do you compare the driving experience between the Mach e and the Audi etron?

Not bad Alex. My hat is off to Ford. Hopefully, they will come up with an electric F-150 in the near future. That will be a colossal game changer. I predict they won’t be able to build them fast enough. 😊

How much power does sitting still using AC use? Like in a 2 hour traffic jam or waiting hours for COVID test? Time- range lost?

Whoa I didn't realize you're in the Bay Area. I thought you were based in LA

Great. This is a much better looking car than the boring Tesla Model Y. Bet it is of higher build quality too.

Some EV's are designed to only use the middle range of the battery to extend it's life. My Volt would read 100% on the display, but it really is only at 90% of the battery's capacity. When it reads zero, there is 10% left in it. This kind of scheme is how you get around people's behaviors that damage batteries.

I have a extended range awd and only getting 190 miles any thoughts?

What if you live in Boston and it snows during the winter?

Smashes the Model Y. Good stuff, family member will be getting one soon.

For all the tech and the 340 kw charging available the Mach E will still be hampered by the often horrible charging network of EA and EVGo. It’s a beautiful vehicle and looks like it’s well made. Take a long trip, see what it’s like to have to move from plug to the next repeatedly and most times have to contact the customer support to try and diagnose the issue. Often it’s taken care of by a fairly quick reset of the station. But as I experienced in BFE Oklahoma at a Loves Country Store on a cross country trip, none of the 4 units there would work. I had to limp down the road at 35mph hoping to get to a station that would work. Cool looking car.

Man great video! So I live in NJ so in the colder months this vehicle will get significantly less real world range (due to lack of heat pump) I am thinking somewhere around 200-220 miles? Which is around the same as a Model Y in the cold with a heat pump. And this is due to the fact it has a much larger battery. Have you had any issues with the tech? Android auto? Apple carplay? Backup camera quality and smoothness?

and by the looks of it the Tesla Model Y has approx the same range as the Polestar 2? mm you are right about the horrible EPA, let me check the Canada site and see how their test cycles are like

So im assuming the tech in the mach e will be used in the mustang ev that's rumored in 2023....id imagine the lighter mustang will get better range

As far as avoiding full charge, discharge or staying at max too long, isn't Ford's buffering on both ends of battery capacity (full and empty) going to avoid (or at least reduce) that issue?

Oh man...This will be the deadliest crowd-killer! No 5.0 to warn everyone anymore :D.

Sorry I didn't see the Model Y test. What Model Y (other than the single motor rear wheel drive) can do so little as 225 miles? I have a performance Model Y and I usually get 280 and almost 290. What gives?

Am I the only one thinks all glass roof with no option to cover is a hard deal breaker? # California Sun ☀️

I hope batteries are not like cellphones, is says 20%, I got out in the cold then dies to 0% within minutes lol.

So, 280-290 miles based on your standard test loop, and 270-280 when you run the battery completely down. Not too different. Alex, do you think the test loop is good enough for future range tests with other vehicles?

My gauge in my model S was at 8miles then went to 0 a second later always best to charge between 10-15miles.

This is by far the best EV made. I was mixed between buying this or a tesla and ill be grabbing this

In a gasoline hybrid sedan you pollute less and you can have a range of over 400 miles. Then, with a 5 minute fill up at a gas station, you can go another 400 miles provided you drink enough coffee. I once drove from Willits, California, to Tajuana Mexico in one day, so I know it is possible.

You and John Davis of Motorweek are the best at evaluating cars. I am surprised that you bought this car, with the Ioniq 5, ID.4, XC-40, and Nissan Ariya just around the corner. Please STOP DISTRACTED DRIVING! You were talking, looking at the camera, and entering a new destination, ALL WHILE DRIVING! Pull over, do your business, and make the world safer.

how was your experience with Mach e fully auto pilot?
