So far its been good only have about 100 kilometers on it. Some things are weird like the "Brake Assist" will take some getting use to and before I leave today I have to figure out how to turn the lane centering thingy off, although its helpful when I'm trying to find functions on the screen. lol.

On most Fords, the lane centre feature can be turned on / off with a button on the end of the turn signal stalk.

Enjoy the new ride!

They are a nice ride. Enjoyed the one we test drove for a couple days.

I like it a lot had it on the 401 and 427 and this afternoon, nimble and very responsive in traffic —also in slow stop and go traffic more power is regenerated and appears to not much if any is used in traffic. It has a lot of cool features.

Another member here has had one for almost a year as a daily driver and loves it. Was just asking him about it last week in terms of range, etc., and it has exceeded their expectations.

Basically bought to commute and eliminate fuel expenses —good to here that I was a bit concerned about winter charging

Wired up a 240amp charging station today and what a difference in charging speed. Should have just over 400k range by midnight.

Today I calculated the cost to drive 75 kilometers to work and it seems it was 51 cents. I suck at math and I'm no Einstein but I used 17kw hours at an overnight charge rate of 2.8 cents (i rounded to 3 cents) 17 x .03 = .51. If this is correct I'm not expecting a huge increase on the hydro bill each month.

You have the big charger set up at home?

level 2 40amp —I also have a gas generator/welder capable of phase 3 power that I plan to setup for emergency charging. Phase 3 can give me a full charge in 1/2 hour for a few bucks in gas.

Is there much of a cost difference between the level one and level two, Since it’s charging more volume faster? Or does it flush out about the same in the end
