ROADTRIP FROM BOISE TO JACKPOT IN MY MACH-E!

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Boise, Idaho to Jackpot, Nevada, and back in a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD with a standard range battery, undertaken in cold January conditions (15-35°F). The reviewer highlights significant challenges with charging infrastructure reliability, experiencing multiple failed attempts and slow charging speeds at various Electrify America and Flying J locations. Despite these issues, the reviewer was eventually able to charge at each stop, though often with considerable frustration and time spent troubleshooting. The vehicle's efficiency was notably impacted by the cold weather and elevation changes, averaging around 2.1-2.2 miles per kWh for much of the trip, with a low of 1.8 miles per kWh on one stretch. The reviewer expresses a lack of confidence in the current charging network's reliability, contrasting it with a positive experience with Tesla's network. Ultimately, the trip was completed, but the charging experience was a major point of contention.
