STANDARD RANGE MACH-E ROADTRIP BOISE TO RENO!

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Boise to Reno and back in a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Standard Range AWD Premium. The reviewer meticulously plans and executes the journey, highlighting the challenges of range anxiety on the outbound leg, particularly the long stretch between Boise and McDermot with significant elevation gain. Key takeaways include the necessity of charging to nearly 100% before tackling the high desert, the impact of elevation on range, and the reviewer's strategy of driving conservatively (55-65 mph, no climate control, lights off) to maximize distance. The return trip proved significantly easier due to elevation loss, allowing for more relaxed driving and fewer, shorter charging stops. The reviewer utilized both Tesla Supercharger and Electrify America networks, noting charging speeds, costs, and the benefit of membership plans. While the trip was successful, it pushed the vehicle's range limits, underscoring the importance of careful planning for such routes. The overall cost was comparable to gasoline, with significant savings expected for daily use.
