As far as I know, they haven't announced the price to charge on the Ford Network after the free 2 years runs out. It seems to me that based on the current Electrify America rates, it will be much more expensive to fast charge the Mach-E compared to the Model Y.
On the Ford website, they say that you can go from 10% to 80% in 45 minutes for the 300 mi range model. According to Electrify America, if you're not a Pass+ member, the cost is $1.00 plus $0.99/min for any car capable of charging greater than 125 kW. So charging for 45 minutes will cost you $45.55. If you have the Pass+ membership, it is $0.50/min for the same rate, resulting in a cost of $22.50 (they don't charge the extra dollar if you have a Pass+ membership).
The Tesla website says Superchargers charge $0.28 per kWh. The model Y long range (300 mi, apples to apples with the long range Mach-E) battery is 75 kWh. So to charge from 10% to 80% (7.5 kWh to 60 kWh, or 52.5 kWh) will be $14.70. So charging the model Y will cost about 2/3 the price of charging a Mach-E with a Pass+ membership (which doesn't include the $4.00/month membership fee) or 1/3 the price of charging a Mach-E without a membership.
I don't know how much people plan to use DC fast chargers, but hopefully the Ford Network charging prices will move closer to the Tesla Supercharging prices. I'm on the fence on whether I'd want a Mach-E or Model Y, but just wanted to give people something else to think about while we wait for the two cars to come out next year.
