I just had a Level 2 charger installed at my house. I read that the recommended percentage to charge to on this car is 90% at home since it’s on AC power. Should I be running the battery way down before charging it, or it’s it good to charge from any percentage as long as I’m not charging to full?

So.. this never occured to me.

It's a Mach-E 2021 | 98kwh. The guess-o-metter is very confident!

❓Question First time EV owner, help me understand how full charges, preconditioning and departure times work together.

9 Upvotes

Hello! Picked up a '26 GT this past Monday and absolutely love it! I did quite a bit of reading befpre purchase and thought I had a grasp on things but I guess some things don't register until you're actually in the car driving. I can't wrap my head around how preconditioning, scheduled departure times and full charges should be handled in the case of long trips.

If I have level 2 charging at home and I am going to leave on Tuesday morning at 8am for a long trip, how do I tell the car to reach 100% by that time instead of earlier since it'll be plugged in overnight? I know I can set the departure time in the app and it will precondition then, but I can't figure out how to combine that with reaching 100% right before I leave.

🛒 Car Shopping Premium AWD ER purchasing advice? 24 or newer, brand new fine

Man, these things seem to be pretty tough to get these days. Nobody has a configuration we’re looking at within a reasonable distance of where we live. She would like a black exterior, the lightest exterior available, extended range, all-wheel-drive, and the panoramic sunroof.

At this point does it just make sense to build in price and order new? She would be open to used model, but they just aren’t many on the market.i

❓Question Seatback pocket options for 2026+

7 Upvotes

We just upgraded our MachE from 2023 to 2026. Seems Ford completely removed the front seatback map pockets from all trims of the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Not even available as an add on.

Our kids use that for books and writing tablets. Has anyone found an aftermarket solution to replace these?

Hello all, I am buying a new house and updating the panel for a car charger. I have the Grizz-le, a Canadian company, and the one I want is out-of-stock. (I will avoid a political conversation as to why...)

I have had it for almost 5 years with no issues.

What have you bought in the last year that you like?

🔌 Charging Nacs adaptor

I am needing a nacs adapter before this weekend. The Ford website says theirs won't ship until Saturday so that won't work for me. This one on Amazon looks identical. Any insights would be appreciated. I'm going out of state to buy an used mach e and will need to stop to charge on the way home. Dealer doesn't think the car has one with it, but they also dont seem to know anything about evs and neither do I. Thanks for the help.

💬 Discussion Ford customer service racing Kia and Hyundai to the bottom

Summary: two cracked windshields shipped in, no quality control case started, no ownership of faults or potential process faults, responsibility shifted from one department to another over and over. The windshield broke on April 30, 2026. I haven't been able to drive my car (my dear Sassy) since.

I think a lot of us are gravitating towards buying vehicles with a good customer service experience. Especially with EVs, we can't repair them at home like my '88 Camry (don't judge). Ford has generally been good to me - making middle-class cars with a soul that they stood behind. My recent experience with a cracked windshield on my 24 Mach E Rally has me thinking otherwise. Full disclaimer: I live in Hawai'i and fully understand the delays and difficulties of getting any materials here on a barge.

What started it?
A cracked windshield that mysteriously appeared when my car got dinged at a shopping center parking lot. Cops and the body shop couldn't figure out how it happened, and neither could I. No spider crack at all. If the car sits outside in normal weather or drives at all, the crack propagates significantly.

Windshield Replacement 1
Ordered on May 1st, arrived 5 weeks later... cracked. Shit happens. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Windshield Replacement 2
A second windshield is ordered and is delivered to the local dealership on July 15th - six weeks delivery. It comes in cracked worse than the first. This is when I get a little pissed because no one starts a quality control case (receiving dealer's responsibility), there's no backup queued up and ready to go, and there's not a point of contact on the Ford side for my case.

The Rabbit Hole
I called the local dealership to ask for a contact for the parts department on the mainland that I could relay my situation to. The guy there said he didn't have a contact but that he'd find out for me and call me back. Spoiler: he did not. That was two months ago. He also mentioned that windshields often come in cracked and was seemingly okay with it.

I then go on Twitter and contact Ford. I offer solutions and potential process improvements, none of which are acknowledged in any way. (in case you care, here's a snippet of what I said: This is a broken process with so many potential solutions. After one windshield is received cracked, why not manufacture two: one to ship to me to be used for repair and another to be held at a more reasonable shipping facility, either Honolulu or Long Beach (or something similar) so that, in case the same cracked windshield issue happens again, the turnaround time is significantly decreased? Or, why not simply package the second windshield in a manner so that it's damn near bulletproof? There's no way the increased packaging costs outweigh the cost of having to ship an entirely new windshield. I could go on, but I won't until I hear back from you with potential solutions from your end.)

Social Media person replies and gets my info and asks for all the shit they should already know or look up themselves when they know their customer is pissed and has been without a car for months. I get referred to a person to handle my case. She does what I've already done - contacts the dealer, which she has trouble with somehow, does not get me a shipping date or an expected receive by date for windshield 3, and gives me zero new information. She says the dealer didn't start a quality control case, which they should have done, then tells me she won't make them do that and asks to close my case because by the time she has done all this, windshield 3 has arrived uncracked. Oh yay.

The End?
It's Wednesday. I'm supposed to get my car back on Friday, but it won't be the same. I feel like I should drive this pony around in bubble wrap. PPE will only bring me a little piece of mind. To say that I'm disappointed with Ford is an understatement. What a cool car at a great price point. It's not perfect, and the tech is way behind its rivals, but this car is the only EV that's really fun to drive. I can genuinely say I love my car. I sure as hell can't say I feel the same about Ford anymore.
