Does more power mean more fun when it comes to EVs?

I RECENTLY HAD THE CHANCE TO TAKE OUR MUSTANG MACH-E GT away for a week starting in London where finding a space close to a lamp post charger was quite frankly a mission then reaching all the way up to Scotland with a few stops between including a ‘Mustang Day’ meet at Caffeine and Machine
Let’s start there shall we? The gathering of old Mustangs for a UK event was seriously impressive as was hearing their engines as was the number of MachEs in attendance I was half expecting the Mustang traditionalists to start kicking off and lobbing rocks at the EVs but no such drama it seems any anger from the Mustang name being plastered across an electric family SUV has long since subsided
Before setting off I did my research and separated the drive up I had to stop twice each at StratforduponAvon and Knutsford Services and charged a total of eight times over the week Most chargers were simple to use and some made you sign your life away so to mitigate risk I never let it get lower than miles of predicted range In Scotland however there weren’t as many chargers around I found one in a services just over the border and witnessed the perfect example of lacklustre infrastructure two cars darted for the space next to the charger I’d just left and were beeping and fighting as I drove off Crazy
Have to say I like the interior more than I thought I would It’s spacious and full of hidden storage my favourite being under the centre console tray which fitted my camera perfectly Obvious observation incoming… the screen is massive My only disappointment? With so much display to play with you can’t stream films or TV while you wait to charge Job for the facelift Ford
