The Mach-E charged from 10-80% a bit faster than Ford claimed. But it took more than a couple of tries to get it right, which Ford blamed on a software problem with the test car.
The Tesla Supercharger cooling fan whirred to life. The contactors clicked. The second indicator on our 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E tester went blue. For the first time, I was charging a non-Tesla EV on a Tesla charger. It felt seamless. Two minutes later, the session failed. Then it failed again. After swapping to another stall, I got it to connect again. But a few minutes later, the car produced the same error: 'Charging Station Fault: See Manual.
I could have fooled it by routing to another DC fast charger, ignoring the verbal instructions and routing to the Tesla charger on my phone . Yet I chose not to for two reasons. First, the Mach-E doesn't tell the driver it's preconditioning, or when preconditioning is completed, so I would have been flying blind anyway. Second, I wanted to get a real-world owner experience of charging at a Tesla Supercharger.
