Got it a month ago.
It’s the Ford Mustang Mach E 2021 with AWD and ER-battery.
Mainly charged at home with own solar array on roof. Allows for charging with 22kW at home – just from the sun! Yes, it’s a big solar array.
Some pros and cons:
pros:
-Acceleration – in “unbridled” it’s just insane. Feels crazier than some roller coasters around here.
-Looks – (IMO) it looks fantastic. I regularly see people taking pictures of it when I’m parked somewhere.
-Quality – the materials and workmanship feels amazing
-Range – the driven distance actually always corresponds to the estimated range. If it says I have enough charge for 400km, then I can drive 400km.
cons:
-Fast-charging – the charging curve is…weird. [Here](https://cdn.motor1.com/images/custom/img-ford-mustang-mach-e-er-awd-2021-dcfc-power-20210308.png) you can see that it drops very quickly from 150 kW to 110 kW and then to 80 kW. Kinda annoying, but I was told that it might improve in the future since it only needs a software update to change it.
-I had an issue that when charging at home with 11kW ALL fans would ramp up to 100%. It was LOUD. I have an appointment next week with the hopes that they fix it (it’s a known bug).
-the smartphone-key is a bit buggy sometimes and won’t work.
-the frunk is not thermally isolated and can get quite hot during driving.
Some QoL stuff that I would love to see implemented:
-Button/switch for quickly switching driving modes without having to use the touchscreen.
-More options for entertainment during charging stops (currently only music. No option for movies whatsoever, not even with android auto).
-the option to activate/deactivate the AC remotely with the app. I can only tell him *when* I want to drive and if it should be cold/medium/warm. But only though in form of a weekly schedule. So I can’t just go in the app and set AC to 19°C when I want it a bit colder in the summer.
But all in all, I absolutely love it!
Edit: apparently Reddit messed up and the formatting is weird. Great.
I still can’t get over how good looking this car is. Been seeing them occasionally down in OC.
First off, fantastic photo. Second, how do you like it? Pros and cons?
Damn. What car care product are you using? That black…

Cool! Is this your first EV?
