My colleague of many years ordered a Mach E when they first began taking orders. He ordered a GT with the only option at the time being a color choice. They just sent him the advanced 35 page product info booklet in an e-mail. Really interesting. I caught the three sound modes. One thing that stood out to me as a thing to work on in the future. It clearly states that the 110V charging option gives you 3 miles of range per hour of charge? So after charging all night say at a motel during a trip, you gain 30 miles of range. If you have 220V or super Charger in your route no problem. But if your stuck with 110V, you are really stuck. Plan longer trips carefully. Just have to be willing to be tethered to your power source.

Info from Ford:

FORD MOBILE CHARGER COMES STANDARDThe portable charge cord that comes standard with every Mustang Mach-E can be plugged into a 120-volt household-style outlet or a dedicated 240-volt outlet, which is recommended for faster charging. It has a 20-foot cable, outlet adapters and carrying bag as well as a dedicated storage area under the cargo load floor.MANY WAYS TO CHARGEDid You Know?Typically, EV owners charge their vehicles at home about 80 percent of the time.1Range and charge time based on manufacturer computer engineering simulations and EPA-estimated range calculation methodology. The charging rate decreases as battery reaches full capacity. Your results may vary based on peak charging times and battery state of charge. Actual vehicle range varies with conditions such as external elements, driving behaviors, vehicle maintenance and lithium-ion battery age.Level 2 – 240V/32A dedicated household outlet (NEMA 15-50) can provide 21 miles of range per charging hour.1Level 1– 120V/12A conventional household outlet can provide 3 miles of range per charging hour

This is typical of almost all EV's.

110 is basically a charging method for someone that is only using the car as a relatively short drive commuter car.

To be viable for the majority of the public, a 220 volt source for charging is required, but still not optimal.

480V DC charging is what is required for more reasonable charge times.

Much faster than slow

Made me laugh but now I understand I suppose...

That is funny.....but incorrect.
Level 1 charges about 4 miles of range per hour. Really only useful for absolute worst case scenarios. Very rarely use this method

Level 2 gains about 24 miles of range per hour which is 6 times faster than Level 1. The Mach E has an option to gain about 32 miles of range per hour which is 8 times faster.

DC fast charge which some refer to as Level 3 is at least 6 times faster than level 2 and could have max speeds up to 15 times faster. For sake of comparison.....the Mach E can gain about 60 miles of range in 10 minutes with DC fast charge.
