Hello All, my MME will be coming in the beginning of July and can't wait. Few questions:

1. What charging station should we be looking for? I'm new to electrical vehicles, so really have NO CLUE how this works. I imagine there are different sorts of charging stations. Could someone help guide me on how to find charging stations near me?
2. Also is there a mobile app to find charging stations?
3. Is there a MME mobile app also?

Any advise ya'll can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Electrify America (best and fastest dc quick charger when traveling
Greenlots chargers in many areas
Chargepoint
Zef Energy in some areas
EV Go
Volta
Plugshare app to locate all chargers and filters are available to set minimum charge rate and networks
A Better Route Planner (ABPR) app is very useful for trip planning charging info
Ford Pass app to locate chargers and plan.
All of the above charging networks have their own app. Download all the network apps for chargers in your area to your phone. Set up your favorite credit card in your phone wallet to simplify paying when traveling.
Level 3 is DC fast charging
Level 2 is 240 volt charging at up to 48 amps for the mach E
Level 1 is 120 volt charging and very slow.
Get your home setup for Level 2 charging using either the Ford supplied mobile charger or a purchased unit at approximately $600 plus installation. Check for rebates available at a state level for different charger brands. Check on Amazon for EV chargers available.
I'm sure I have left out some info, but there is a lot of info in various threads on this forum. My personal choice was a Juice Box 40 unit (plug in version) which supplies 40 amps on a 50 amp circuit and gives a full charge in 8-9 hrs. Lots of helpful people here....just ask.

Take a look at what your charging needs will be for the home. For us the portable EVSE that comes with the mach e has a 120 and 240 volt plug. A nema 14-50 (it's like a drier outlet) with a 50 amp circuit breaker will deliver 20 mph charge. So you save the cost of a separate EVSE unit. which will charge at about 30 mph. Here is Ford's info on ford charging options. Also, if you go with a level 2 charger, you'll want to check with your local power company, they may offer a rebate. You also have an up to $1k federal tax credit for part of installation costs of a level 2 in your home. Home_Install_Spec_Sheet_0831_FINAL.pdf

I think it was discounted as a hoax. I believe they are targeting the next couple weeks though to open up the SuperChargers to non-T as well.

Check out PlugShare

Probably figured it out back in December 2021...

SuperChargers for non-Tesla cars will be available in very limited locations for the time being.
