MACH-E VLOG - LIVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA!

EV Channels Review

This vlog-style livestream from South Africa offers a unique perspective on the EV landscape outside of typical markets. While the primary purpose was a personal visit, the hosts managed to weave in discussions about the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the broader EV situation in South Africa. They highlight the scarcity of EVs and charging infrastructure, noting only 700 EVs sold between 2013-2021 and encountering just one Jaguar I-PACE. The conversation touches on the challenges of importing EVs, charging standards (CCS Type 2), and the high cost and taxes associated with EV ownership in the region, making them exclusive to the wealthy. The hosts also share personal anecdotes about their travel and safety concerns in South Africa. While not a deep dive into the Mach-E's performance, the video provides valuable context on the global EV adoption challenges and the hosts' anticipation for their own Mach-E's arrival and upcoming software updates like BlueCruise.
