After driving the Ford Mustang Mach-E press car in January 2021, we immediately knew that in most of the ways that mattered, Ford had seemingly built a better Tesla. So Matt bought one for himself and his wife. Now, two years and 17,000 miles later, Zack and Matt take a road trip to Arizona to discuss the ups and downs of 2 years of Mach-E ownership, as well as demonstrate the charge network (and see some awesome stand--up comedy).

To learn how to charge more efficiently on road trips follow Bjorn Nyland (especially his 1,000 km challenge series) and Tom Moloughney on this site. Short answer: arrive at charger with less 'in the tank' and leave with just enough to get to the next charger. (and don't block 350 chargers w/ a car that can only take 150)

It happens and boy did that happen in the best spot. Because you are right, range is masking another problem with the EV discussion and that is infrastructure and maintenance. That is a hard ass topic at the best of times because I am a 90's boy and all these gas stations just exist, there was a time where that wasn't the case and EV's are at that starting point, which doesn't help when one maker uses a proprietary plug for its charging network but that is another topic.

You're 100% correct that if you have a non-Tesla EV relying on the CCS network, it's charging anxiety. I'm not even going to say infrastructure anxiety, because even if the infrastructure is 100%, you still have to deal with people at the charger. Be that lines, people done and not moving their car, using the wrong charging apparatus (i need 350kW because it's fast...even though my car can only charge at 150kW max), etc. Thanks for the full review of your car.

One thing I'll add is that living in the middle of the northeast conurban sprawl, the charging network is not bad.

I'm glad to hear it's held up pretty well, though I am surprised by the buttons rubbing off. Probably some kind of supplier issue that hopefully has been improved. Shame about the chargers, but we all know how that goes...I do wonder how long it will take for the charging network to become as reliable as putting gas in a gas tank.

Matt, I'm 7 months and 6000 miles into my 2022 Mach-E GT ownership. I use CarPlay with a cable, and the only issue I've had has been occasionally needing to manually trigger the connection from the Phone menu. I also haven't had the same issue with emergency braking. Not doubting your experience, just adding a bit of anecdata. I have yet to take mine on a road trip where I've needed public charging, but since my roadtrips will generally be in the Boston-Washington corridor, I don't expect problems. Thank you for the detailed ownership report. Use it in continued good health!

How do you put on 21k miles in 7 months (unless you are a traveling salesman?) My 5 year old F150 which I bought in Maryland btw, has 26,000 miles on it. I can't even imagine the nightmare of driving 12k miles a year never mind 35-40k. (I assume from 21k in 7 months) especially in that area. I95 can be 95 mph or it can be gridlock traffic.

Thank you for the great video. I really appreciated how you separated range anxiety and infrastructure anxiety despite the best efforts of Electrify America. The pacing around at the charging station was a great way to show how lame the charging time can be in real life on a out-of-town trip even with a well planned route. Meanwhile there was a shot of the ICE cars smoking you time-wise even though you were speeding excessively. You just hook your ICE to the pump, go into the gas station to do #1, and come back to a fully fueled ICE car and go while you laugh at the Teslas stuck at the charging stations. EVs are for home charging and driving around the city.

Hey, quick tip from own Mach E ownership experience (22 AWD extended range). If you find an EA station with a 350 charger that has the reduced power screen, but there are 150’s available - take the 150. I started on the 350 with roughly the same state of charge as you, and was getting about 80kWh - then switched to a 150 station after a few minutes. Rate shot up to 120kWh for a while. Was glad I swapped. Thanks for the video! Loved it.

For all of Tesla‘s issues, the fact that they focused on and built out their own charging net work, because they didn’t want to rely on someone else doing it for them is forever their own advantage. Their prices are way cheaper than all the other charging companies, I can’t believe that some of those charge more than it would cost to fill up a tank of gas. And I cannot tell you the struggle that I’ve had showing neighbors on the new Volkswagen ID4 how to charge their car - and so many of the Chargers are out of service, don’t charge anywhere near the advertised rate or you can’t get it to work/pay

They were very heavily subsidized and given opportunities by the American government that other Brands could not avail of. Elon is a master of "convincing" and/or political chess behind the scenes to get what he wants without actually paying for it. Exactly what a Con does best. I personally do not like a infrastructure that only caters to one brand. If gas stations did this, it would have hindered ICE considerably. Tesla isn't very good at building cars, and that is evident within 5 mins of driving one. But they do have the infrastructure nailed down and if they were to focus on that, the one thing they really are good at, they wouldn't even need to sell cars.

Great video Matt! One major gripe though. As a Taycan owner, there’s nothing worse than pulling up to a charging station when multiple 150kw chargers are free and there’s a Mach-E (which tops out at 150kw) or an iD4 (which also tops out of 150kw) taking up one of or both of the 350kw chargers. PLEASE, I beg, EV owners out there- you need to know the charging profiles of your cars so you don’t inconvenience others. It’s not as cut-and-dry as a gas station.

The 81kw is not necessarily due to EA throttling....since you are charging your battery at 40% SOC, more than likely the 81kw is due to the Mach E programming preventing too much juice from getting to the battery and overheating/hurting it.

CarPlay launches much more reliably after the 4.1.x OTA. I found no issues after unpairing phone and car and then re-pairing CarPlay with the new UX. Prior to the new UX (the one with the "home" button in the upper left) CarPlay connectivity could be flaky, and sometimes it would find one phone and not another one.

Nope. I’ll stick with my well-maintained 2007 BMW 335i with JB4 tune, hydraulic steering, beautiful power delivery, and NO computer screens. We’re going through a transitional period now where a lot of things have gotten worse. Eventually things will get sorted out. I’ll sooner buy a 2010 Porsche 911 turbo before I buy some new garbage computer car.

If you are going to get an EV just get a Tesla. Yes Elon sucks but the car itself is superior to all other available EVs. This is because this is all that Tesla does this has been 100% of their focus since inception. Ford, GM, etc are just making EVs to not be left behind.

What about the build quality? The gaps in panels on every model? The 1-4 month wait time for absolutely menial maintenance appointments? No apple car play / android auto still in 2024? They too, are maddening. Just for different reasons

Thank you for this video. I’m almost at the 1 year mark in my 2021 Mach E Select. (Knock on wood) the only issue I’ve had is the same CarPlay problems, along with one-touch-up sometimes not working on the rear windows. My only regret is not getting the extended range. Which can be a problem here in FL where the charging network is abysmal. I’ve done public charging once at an EA station between Tampa & Orlando & it worked perfectly, but I know that was just dumb luck. So far though, a great, surprisingly luxurious car to own.

I have a July 2022 build and this tracks well with my experience too, but with less car play issues. Just a great daily driver if you have a level 2 at home driving less than 150 miles. Longer trips and calling it charger anxiety is spot on. Just need to plan on those trips taking a little longer with a little bit more planning.

Great long term review and video, Matt. THIS is exactly the kind of review most drivers are going to want to see to even consider an EV.

You can program the windows yourself. From the up position roll then down with the button the entire time. When it is fully down continue holding the button for a couple of seconds. Roll it up holding the button the entire time the for a few seconds after it is up. The auto up/down will now properly work. This process is the same for many vehicles.

As someone who lives in Phoenix (and literally just made this drive today) I have wondered about making this trip in an EV. Good to see that although there infrastructure isn’t perfect, this drive actually doable. Phoenix to So Cal and Phoenix to Vegas are the two important routes any future EV I would get would need to be able to handle. Nice review, this Mach e looks very compelling

re EV battery power and phoenix I have wondered how expensive batteries will fare in in the blistering scortching heat compared with much cooler areas ....heat is a known batteru killer (at least has been historically for lead acid) ...my dad who lived near phoenix replaced sooo many car batteries like one a year....he always bought ones with the best warranties for that reason will be interesting to see how EV batteries hold up in place like Phoenix

Electrify America sucks. You nailed it with infrastructure anxiety. I've taken my i4 on a few short trips that require charging and it's maddening. Chargers that randomly lose connection after 1 or 2 minutes, chargers that are supposed to deliver 150+Kwh and they deliver 50-60. Just ridiculous.
