I remember the anxiety I had when I cut the cord and switched from Cable TV to streaming. Could I still watch live sports? Would I get all my favorite programs? Sure enough, with YouTube TV, the answer was a resounding yes to both questions.
Now I’m cutting a new cord — the gas pump — as I take my new Mustang Mach-E on a cross-country trip. And like the time I cut Cable TV, I'm experiencing the same questions. Will it have the range for a long drive? Will I waste hours recharging along the way?
For those of you thinking about buying an EV, I’ll be sharing daily posts to help alleviate so-called “range anxiety.” (Trust me, in pressing the start button this morning, I’m taking a big trust-fall to shed the comfy muscle memory of ICE vehicles.)
Today’s cool feature: The FordPass app which plans the route and most efficient charge points, then sends the trip plan to the car’s NAV system. I’m placing my full trust in the robots! (Including the robots that will drive the Mach-E the majority of the trip. More about them later.)
PS: Robert M. Pirsig's book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, had a great impact on me. His story about growth and discovery while on a long-distance motorcycle ride still resonates with me today.
