We Find Out If The Ford Mustang Mach E Is A Good Road Tripping EV
We Find Out If The Ford Mustang Mach E Is A Good Road Tripping EV
We took the Ford Mustang Mach E on a EV road trip to Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. I always wanted to know how good of a road trip electric car this Ford Mustang Mach E is and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.
The Ford Mustang Mach E is a very comfortable electric vehicle to take on a longer EV road trip. Seats are comfortable, there is lots of room for passengers and the cargo capacity is also very impressive.
On the way back we decided to test out the DC fast charging capability of the Ford Mustang Mach E after preconditioning the battery before arriving at the DC fast charger. EV charging nowadays is quite easy and we were able to experience the Ivy network in Ontario for the first time as well.
So what do you think about the Ford Mustang Mach E as a road trip EV? Let us know your opinion in the comments below!

My Turo rental in Toronto had blue balls cruise. I love very much, hands free
Since you are renting from real owners on Turo the cars usually have all the options. Rental companies like Avis don’t bother getting the extras. Too bad would have loved to try it.
Love the Mach E. Great EV all around and the space for family travels is amazing.
The space is what sold me. Inside is much bigger than what it looks from the outside.
What do you think of the Ford Mustang Mach E as a road trip EV? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Good video. Nice to see it charge faster than in your previous video. Hoping that the 2025 model year will be even faster at charging.
Can’t wait to see what the charging speeds will be like for the 2025 model year of the Mach E.
Another nice video. Thanks! As an F-150 Lightning owner Ford corporate is definitely taking EVs seriously; however, it is a hit or miss situation with the dealers. My local dealer was clueless - I knew far more about the truck than they did. When I needed servicing I took it to another dealer that had 3 EV techs and they knew what they were doing. Of course, a charging game changer for Ford is the Supercharger access (but available with your rental). That has made road tripping easy for me in BC, Alberta, and SK. I will rarely charge at non-Tesla charger while away from home. Just reviewed the free Ford adapter last week! I have been using my A2Z adapter since the spring. For the Mach E, how did you find the interior space? I hear it is roomier than you think - especially for a family with luggage.
It’s very roomy and very comfortable. No problem fitting even 5 adults in the Mach E. plus having a frunk is nice as it gives you even more versatility. Not sure why other automakers are not adding one…only a few of them are and Ford is one of them. I also agree with you about the dealership situation and lack of knowledge from the sales people there. I remember that Kia wasn’t much different when I bought my first EV many years ago. The guy had no idea what he was selling haha!
My Kia Niro EV died on a cold day -4 C but after a long drive. So there's no logic as to why. I had to get an ICE car to jump start. Now I have a portable jump starter and a battery monitor just in case.
I have a 2024 Premium and let me tell you, its better than Tesla, to start with Insurance Tesla is twice more expensive, Mach E is built much better than Tesla, With Adapter u can Use Tesla chargers and regular charges and it just looks better
Totally agree with you. Supercharger access is what elevates these cars even more. For me the addition of a heat pump for 2025 is another selling point since I live in northern Canada and it gets very cold here. Overall I think this is a great car and used prices are very competitive right now if someone is looking for a second EV.
Way way better 😁 I have the 3023 premium
Very cheap looking, no mustang. Maybe call it a falcon or T bird.
Sorry to disappoint you, but material quality is very good.
you can use Tesla chargers with an adapter
Wish I could have tried them out, but this was a rental from Avis and they didn’t provide me a NACS to CCS adapter (and I don’t have my own unfortunately).
Those chargers are amazing. We have them at one of our Real Canadian SuperStores in Ottawa. So far I've only ever had one bad experience with them but otherwise they work great. But yes they are expensive. With my 2023 Kia Soul EV I can use the 100kW/h speed (although I usually just stick with the 50kW/h speed to save a bit of money). I wish they had more locations throughout the province. The company that runs the chargers is actually called JULE, as indicated on my email receipts I get from them after you disconnect the charger (you can choose to get an email receipt). Ivy works in a pinch but they're not great. And Electric Circuit chargers are old, slow, and don't work all that great. Only good thing about those is you can use a Flo balance on them. Ontario, and Ottawa specifically, needs MUCH BETTER charging infrastructure.
I really liked these chargers. Best thing was I was able to just use my credit card without the need to download an app and go through all the hoops just to charge. They should really expand their network in Ontario. I also tried the Ivy and am not a fan haha.
I really like it too. But I do believe the styling is too aggressive for most folks.
Agree about the styling. Especially when it comes to an EV and its aggressive nature goes against the EV norm of sleek Teslas or Lucid vehicles.
Aggressive is always a positive
Would be great if it were more efficient… but we are talking mustang … so perfect!
Exactly. It’s not like the ICE Mustang is know for its efficiency haha!
Great Video man... I've had my MY23 MME for 6 months, and it's the best car I've owned....& I've owned plenty. Mine is the Select model, and I couldn't be happier. The pricing of the Premium here in Australia made the step-up unattractive, but I haven't regretted that decision. I'm about to fit a customised DashCam (it looks like OEM) from FITCAMX - a really cool & affordable addition IMHO. I only wish Ford followed Tesla's lead and used the multitude of cameras on the car for DVR. As you noted, there's even a camera inside the car, but what's it do..?...is it a DVR..?...& where do I access a recording? A missed opportunity. Maybe they'll update the software one day to facilitate this feature.
Glad you liked the video! I heard of FITCAMX and the reviews are pretty decent especially since the fit is almost OEM. Much better a camera dangling from behind the rearview mirror. I have not figured out what the internal camera is for yet but maybe this will be revealed in the future with a software update. I think they want to have a similar system to Tesla with being able to view car cameras from the app or even some sort of DVR functionality. I’m guessing it’s still a ways away due to software development. The interior camera is definitely not a driver monitoring tool, this is already fitted at the steering wheel. Just need to stay tuned and see what Ford figures out. Thanks for watching!

I got the 2024 and i love it alot of the hate comes from the legacy but in NV i paid $18 for a month of charging. Its definitely not the most top tier EV but its also not the most expensive. Got a good lease deal and i enjoy it soo much that i am considering getting another EV after. If they update some features id get another mach e no question
Glad you enjoy the Mach E! The new 2025 model will have a heat pump which comes in handy during cold weather and makes the car more efficient. It will also have faster DC fast charging. What are some of the things you hate about it?
@LeftCoastEV honestly just the infotainment screen a bit laggy when first starting up the car. Glitches out, restarts on its own. I think that they fixed it in the 2025. I live in a warmer climate so the heat pump wasn't necessarily a deal breaker for me. The only thing I wish I would have done differently is get the extended range but in 3 years I think they will have made some positive long term changes to ev range 🤞🏻
Significantly less range and less efficient than the Chevrolet Bolt I bought for $10k less for a used one at around 15k miles. No, this doesn't tick my boxes. Not too sure it pleases gas Mustang owners to have their cars associated with this.
I can see how this car you either love or hate. Just like I mentioned in the video, it was and continues to be very controversial. I am always amazed by how efficient the Bolt is compared to all the other EV offerings out there. I always tell my friends and family that charging speed and all that does not matter as much as efficiency does…if you can travel longer distances on one charge you won’t have to spend a lot of time charging, so for me efficiency is king. Thanks for your thoughts, appreciate it!
@@LeftCoastEV I see the newer models do better on range, though for efficiency the bolt is still ahead, not that surprising since it is smaller and significantly lighter. Not to say the Mach-E is a bad car, just not what I was looking for in an EV. We wanted a small economical hatchback for round-town driving, with the capability of a longer trip, maybe to the coast (we're in Oregon). The Mach-E is too much car for my needs.
The Bolt is a great choice plus the milder weather in Oregon makes it a great road trip vehicle even in winter.
Bolt is small im 6'4 the mach e is amazing ive had mine for 3 months now best car ever
Why would anyone NOT buy a Chinese EV, and help finance Chairman Xi to bring Chairman Mao's Revolution and Great Leap Forward to the world and revolutionize your country, your State and your life as well?a For over 75 years communism has worked great miracles for China and launched incredible feats with a global pandemic. Buying Chinese EVs is a great step forward in the Long March to not just socialism, global communism, why not do your part?
LOL like you don’t have things at home that were made in China. So you are also doing your part in promoting communism haha. Good job buddy! Proud of you!
I couldn't sustify buying a ford electric in my town since my dealer had an EV charger at their location then took it away.
Yeah I would also lose respect for that dealer so I agree with you. Putting in a charger and then taking it away is a bad look for sure. I can imagine they got some sort of subsidy or tax break and once it was all paid to them they didn’t think it necessary to continue supplying EV charging services. I don’t blame you for not wanting to purchase a Ford due to that sort of experience.
88kw/min = ~.30 to.32 cents/kwh! That's really cheap! I'll take it! 50kw = .83 kwh, so about 60cents/kwh! The 50kw charging speed is way more expensive! My M3 can accept 150kw/min average from about 0 to 50% so I'd be paying about 17cents per kw up to 50% SOC!
Agree pricing is not too bad!
Oh yeah Ford hit it out of the park with the Mach E. Such a nice EV. And the new 2025 version is even gonna be better.
They did for sure. Very nice electric vehicle. Once the 2025 ones roll out will need to make another video.
Looks like the charger is de-rating because they’re all being used. My Mach e 2023 got an update that has made the charger curve way better! Starts off high then I saw it drop to 129Kw until 79% then it dropped to 79-80kw until about 85% when I unplugged. With the std LFP 10 to 80% on an Tesla charger in Alberta with Tesla account is $22.00. Basically Double that if you use plug and charge.
I think you are right. It was a combo of cold battery and charger de-rating (CCS DC fast charging infrastructure is really lacking in Ontario). I really like the Mach E will need to get my hands on the 2025 updated version with the heat pump. It will do much better for us in Alberta for efficiency.
I really like the Mach E. Well built and very comfortable. If I were shopping for an EV I would consider the 2025 upgraded version.
Definitely a consideration when shopping for a new EV.
What do you guys think about the Ford Mustang Mach E? Would you consider one when shopping for a new EV? Or are there better options out there?
Love my Mach E. I’ve got a ‘23 GT and it is so much fun to drive! I share your criticism on the charging display. I feel like it’s either Ford trying to downplay the fact that it is an EV or it is a limitation of the Sync 4 architecture that makes it hard for them to display that information.
I will need to drive the GT next. I want to see how well this Ford EV architecture does with more power. Plus I love the look of the GT. It’s sporty yet very refined. They will need to look into implementing charging speed on the display, this is a huge miss and if it means upgrading Sync 4 to something newer they should do it. Thanks for watching!
@@LeftCoastEV The way I put it is this…”The Premium is fast. The GT just wants to do crime.” The MagnaRide suspension is really nice (although it would be nice if it was more configurable) but the power is…simply over the top. It’s far too easy to look down and realize you’re doing 140km/h…
That sounds like a fun car. Will have to try it now for sure!
Don't buy a Mach-e, it's the worst car that I ever bought, and can't even sell it cause it lost more than 55% of it's value in less than 3 years, bought it new at $72000 on January 2021, and now it only have a value of $29000, and that doesn't count all the freaking problems I had with it so far... so if you have a chance, take your bag and run as fast as you can out of Ford dealer and buy any other car on the market 😉 and if you absolutely want one and can sell you mine for 3 time the value and I can get rid of mine for good 👍
Even with 100% tariff this car can compete with Tesla 3 in US.
Totally agree. I would get this instead of a Model 3 especially the refreshed Zeekr 001 that now has 800v architecture and blazing fast charging speeds. Plus it just looks nicer!
Just bought a 2025 Kona electric preferred. I really like the car, but even if they told me at the dealer's service that this trouble has been fixed since last year. I hope they are right, but having worked in the automobile business (dealers and private garages, don't necessarely trust them...), I did buy a jump starter, just like you did. And I put it in the frunk (where the 12V battery is anyway), because if I put it in the back trunk, I won't be able to access it! Now, I am curious of a few things about the 12V batterry going dead. Many posts the low voltage of the battery. But how about the acid level? Is it low? Meaning here, the battery has been overcharged. And if not, what is the acid density of each of the cells? Because that will say if one cell is bad or if the battery has been undercharged. You may simply have a bad or shorted cell which will produce the same result. Assuming that the cells are accessible to check the acid density or simply refill the battery with distilled water, just like most lead-acid batteries. The 2025 Kona has a 60 AH rating, while the older one's had 40AH, as far as I know. If I ever get into problems, I will probably install an AGM battery. Thanks for the video.
When I had this issue I tried checking the levels and they didn’t appear to be accessible. I didn’t want to go further as I am not a mechanic and make things worse. This is why I now carry the jump starter but unfortunately I don’t have a frunk so need to carry it inside the car. Thanks for watching and your input, much appreciated!
Whats up with the switch and extension cable?You don't have to unplug the ODB2 dongle when you turn off the car it should just goto sleep on its own. Wired to Wireless carplay dongles, are super cheap. You need wireless carplay, you just dont know it yet!
Not on my car. It stays on so I would rather turn it off with a switch. Call me old school but I like to know it’s off. I am familiar with wireless Apple CarPlay dongles (did a video on one a while ago). Thanks for watching!
Any developments with doing a video about the availability of chargers at rest areas and viewpoints that I suggested many moons ago!? That would really help the road tripper. 🤔😊
Yes! Planning on early 2025 when my day job vacation days reset and I can do it properly without having to rush.
😳😱 Cleaning your windscreen would have been good! 🙄😖🤣
Haha thanks! Winter has come to Canada so if you clean it next minute it is dirty again. They love to cover the roads here with a gravel and salt mix when the weather drops below freezing so cars get dirty fast! But next time I will carry some cleaning wipes for sure!
Beautiful? Looked like a gravel carpark to me. I guess beauty is the eye of the beholder.
Haha just like when a mom tells her kid that they are good looking but no one else thinks the same way, right?
Perfect app for EV beginners. It truly does make range anxiety a thing you never have to worry about. Now I just use it to gauge how much charge I need from charger to charger when on a road trip. Didn’t know you could use the live data without a subscription. Will have to check it out.
I agree. If you are new to EVs and don’t have one with a good built in route planner (like Teslas do) then get this app and dongle.
Does ABRP connect to all cars through OBD2? Or just a few?
They made sure to have as many cars supported as possible via OBD2. I’ve not heard of anyone say they couldn’t connect their vehicle. Just make sure to get a supported dongle like the OBDLink CX. Many dongles are not supported.
I stopped using it ages ago. If I am going to “uncharted” territory I will just use Plugshare to find whats along the way and figure it out
@@nbstreet0631 you can connect the obdii to the Torque app, and if you know what to read, read the right values from _any_ car. And then there is integration between ABRP and Torque
This is the perfect tool for new EV owners for sure. Or people buying a new EV and learning how it drives. I like to use it myself.
For sure if I am new to EVs I would be using the Premium version with the OBS2 dongle until I get comfortable.
Kia soul ev here, 64kw, got it only a few weeks ago. Immediately added the obdlink cx, ant the same extension cable ahah (although I have not put the extension cable in, because I want to tie the switch to a fuse to power it with ignition). So far in all my local trips ABPR has been exactly spot on. It says I will arrive at 49%, I arrive at 49%. I have not got to do a long road trip yet though, except the day I drove it home from a dealer 500km away, but I did not have the obd dongle at the time.
If you added the dongle recently, it has to get data on the consumption to be precise
Car play goes full screen?? Android auto does not :(
CarPlay does go full screen. Android Auto does not? I will have to check this for myself!
Awesome. Good info!
I just checked on my car with an Android phone and for me Android Auto goes full screen. Make sure to enable this in the infotainment settings and if it still doesn’t work then I think you need to update the car software. Easy to DYI.
Have you used A Better Routeplanner (ABRP) on one of your road trips? How was the experience? For me it is always a nice tool to have when you drive an EV especially when in unfamiliar territory.
My friend,I see people test drive it can't go up hills, is it right ?
It can go up hills no problem even with a fat guy like me driving haha!
Congratulations on finally getting a home charger! Now you can enjoy charging at home and not having to rely on public or Level 1 charging! 👍👍👍
Thank you! It’s nice to be able to charge at home for very little money!
Should have bought a Grizzle mini. Canadian built great little charger, and 2 apps.
I will be getting the Grizzl-E Mini as my main travel charger (it comes with all the adapters you need). For home I wanted something with a screen, cannot be bothered to use even more charging apps haha.
Before I go BEV, i want induction charging at home, i want 600 range, i want batteries unaffected by cold, any cold. Sort that out and, I'm a buyer. I'm hearing all my wants are possible from Chinese makers but, Trudeau's politics & 30 yrs of poor Chinese products history weight heavy. No EV influencer dives deep on these vehicles except Sandy Munro!
Just curious, why do you require so much range? My bladder cannot last that long haha!
I have purchased a couple Wolf box dash cams and they have been great. I was unaware that they made EV chargers. Software looks good. Charging at home is so cheap you might as well say it is free.
I’ve yet to test their dash cams, maybe in the future I will get chance to. I’ve been looking at getting decent one for a while. Their chargers are a new product that they started offering and they’re very good. I totally agree with you, charging at home is pretty much free and the thing that makes owing an EV so awesome.
@@LeftCoastEV regardless of brand of dash cam you buy. Touch screen is the way to go.
Noted. Will have to have a look at some options.
Excellent video. Very well explained.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
I like the design of this charger. Looks nice. All the other ones I’ve see are just black bricks.
Yeah the design is really cool. Way nicer than most other chargers on the market.
That’s a nice Woofbox evse!
Haha thanks!
Home charging is definitely the way to go if you can install one. It gives you a “gas station” in your garage at home and you can wake up each morning with enough charge to drive the whole day. Plus charging at home is super cheap!
Oh for sure. Home charging is the best. Especially on Level 2. Thanks for watching!
Home charging truly elevates the ownership of an electric car. Where do you do most of your charging?
The Ram 1500 Ramcharger Is a Different Type of EV. This all-electric truck happens to carry around a gas-powered generator. it also comes with an onboard plug for charging and the MG MG3 Self charging ev has a bigger battery than the Nissan e-power but the next gen will have bigger batteries
e-power cars save the planet and until all charging stations and batteries and charging times improve a lot and also most people live in apartment blocks so don't have home charging and even if you do .... when you're on the road ..you have to use charging stations that take a long time to....
The Ram 1500 Ramcharger Is a Different Type of EV. This all-electric truck happens to carry around a gas-powered generator. While Ram's first battery-electric pickup truck caught our attention when it arrived earlier this year, the automaker's second venture in the segment might come to redefine the space.
the new MG MG3 Self charging ev works the same was but since that has more options they are more hybrid than ev
bmw i3 rangę extender works the same way
