MACH-E GT ROAD TRIP / GETTING STUCK IN TURTLE MODE?! (PART 2)

EV Channels Review

This video documents Day 2 of an EV road trip in a Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, focusing on the journey from Green River, Utah, to Las Vegas. The primary challenge encountered was a "hot battery" issue, particularly noticeable during charging in extreme heat, leading to reduced charging speeds and a "turtle mode" warning with limited performance. Despite this significant concern, the reviewer managed to reach charging stops, though charging times were extended. The video also highlights the unexpected busyness of the Green River charging station, with numerous EVs from various manufacturers present. The reviewer praises the BlueCruise system for its improved performance on curves and lane changes, noting its smooth operation. The narrative also touches upon the camaraderie among EV owners and the practicalities of road-tripping, including the importance of planning and managing range in varying conditions. The "hot battery" issue is a major takeaway, raising concerns about long-term reliability in hot climates.
