EV ROADTRIP TO GRAND TETONS IN MY MUSTANG MACH-E

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a road trip to Grand Teton National Park in a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E (Premium, AWD, Standard Range). The reviewer details the planning, charging experiences, and overall performance. Key takeaways include the limited DC fast-charging infrastructure along the route, particularly between Boise and Jackson, which necessitated careful planning and sometimes slower charging speeds than expected (around 70-80 kW at Electrify America stations, and even slower at times). The reviewer highlights the significant benefit of regenerative braking on descents, noting a 5% gain in state of charge on Teton Pass. Free DC fast charging in Jackson was a welcome perk, though availability was an issue. Charging within the park was limited to a single, slow Level 2 charger. Despite the charging challenges, the reviewer found the Mach-E enjoyable for its smooth ride and efficiency on slower park roads. The total trip covered 919 miles, consuming 312 kWh at a cost of $96.42, averaging 2.9 miles per kWh. The reviewer also compared this to a gasoline SUV, finding the costs surprisingly similar for this specific trip, largely due to the reliance on paid DC fast charging.
