AMARILLO BY MORNING: 1,215 MILE ROAD TRIP IN A 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E PREMIUM EXTENDED RANGE AWD

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a 571-mile road trip in a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium Extended Range AWD from East Texas to Amarillo, Texas, aiming to assess EV road trip viability. The reviewer highlights significant challenges with the charging infrastructure, experiencing delays, non-functional chargers, and unexpected rerouting by the navigation system. While the Mach-E itself is praised for its smooth ride, technology, and one-pedal driving, the overall charging experience added considerable time, turning a planned 7-hour gas car trip into a 14-hour EV journey. The reviewer concludes that while the Mach-E is a capable vehicle for local driving, the current charging infrastructure in Texas is not yet sufficient for long-distance travel, making EVs a secondary option for such trips at this time.
