CCS is the standard now. Wasn't that way 5 years ago but CCS is the standard moving forward which should mean all new chargers are CCS. Keep in mind though that's fast charging. Home charging will use J1772 which is CCS but with the two big contacts removed. Should still plug into a CCS port.
Ok that changes things a bit. In the prior post it sounded like it was a regular thing taking the EV for that trip. What I mean as all in is that you believe you can use the EV like an ICE car, most people I know don't. They feel it is only suited for shorter trips and commuting. So maybe I should change it to true believer rather than all in?
Agreed. This thread was certainly hijacked into the same garbage as the 94 page thread, but it's not surprising given the overall sentiment on this forum.
I'm not seeing how people are calling it ugly as fuck unless it is solely coming from a place of spite and hatred due to the name. That is also a tall comment when you own a yellow mustang. What car actually looks good in yellow beyond and Lamborghini/Ferrari/McLaren? Thanks for the input though.
Not sure what else you are looking for. I already stated you were intentionally condescending to several people. I called you out on that. You have taken my calling you out on your BS as rude. Sorry your feelings got hurt but it is what it is.
LOL no the only interesting thing was you trying to correct me on using the correct word in a phrase I had mentioned.....I gave you a link so you could see that you were in fact not correct. Just wondering if you care about that as much as The Mach E?
From Jalopnik
So worse charge rate than my Model 3 base (170kw peak).... And my car is limited to that because of the size of my battery pack (55kw). The Mach E has a 75kw pack base which is the same as a Model 3 long range that is capable of over 250kw.... Plus they make such a big deal out of it being a 800v system. 800v systems are nice because of potential FASTER charge rates over 400v systems (Model 3)....
Lol nailed it
Good to know. Hopefully Ford is quick to improve on this. Tesla definitely has a leg up on everyone else with their battery tech.
It is not exactly the battery but rather the drivetrain and electronics. Tesla has figured out how to make their drivetrains extremely efficient. That is how they can get about the same amount of range with MUCH smaller (and cheaper) battery packs. The charge rate comes from higher quality electronics (battery cell charge management systems and battery pack cooling and monitoring) and user data from 8+ years which allows them to push their batteries farther that others.
They definitely have a lot of data to help improve on their designs. Doesn't Tesla use cylinders instead of packs?
Tesla uses the 18650 lithium cell on the S/X and the 2170 cell in the 3. They basically look like large AA batteries. Allows them to have efficient cooling of the entire cell. Lithium ion pouches are what other manufactures seem to want to run which are less compact and harder to cool. I do not think we have any info on Fords implementation with the Mach E?
