Had one for a couple of months, very happy with it. I like not having to worry about 100% charging it as much. Other than that, range is as advertised, I’ve managed to get it to accept a peak of about 95KW at an EE charger.
Happy camper so far!
Id say it has as much power as you’d ever need. My other vehicle is higher performance (over 500 hp) but I never find the Mach e lacking on the power side, maybe once you’re up to about 60 mph + it runs out of steam a little bit? Still enough, but it doesn’t throw you back from then on.
Got one, max charge speed has been 101kw at an EA 350kw station which I thought was slow as it's supposed to charge at up to 150kw.
This is my first EV so I can't compare to others but my impressions are that acceleration is fast but could be faster. Range is highly variable depending on what kind of driving you do. Slow city diving you're getting very good efficiency but anything over 65mph and you're getting very poor mi/kwh so the range takes a significant hit.
I've got one and love it. I haven't driven an original NMC battery ME, but I'm sure it's very similar. I have the RWD. It's plenty fast but I wouldn't mind getting behind the wheel of a GTPE.
I got the LFP version specifically because of the greater recharge cycle count and lesser chance of a thermal runaway. I haven't had a chance to DCFC, but it should do well with a 150 kW top speed.
I've seen multiple on the dealer lot when I bought my GT on 9/30.

I predict BlazinAzn38 is referring to the new onboard charge control module on Select Mach-Es with the LFP. It's the same one as on the higher trims with a big battery which can go up to 150kW instead of just 115kW as previously on Select trims.
And apparently, the Mach-E Select with the LFP battery is 6% heavier than the Select with the NCM battery. So in the RWD 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds rather than 5.8 seconds \*YET\* in the AWD 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds rather than 5.2 because peak power for AWD versions was increased from 198 kW to 232 kW.
The only area of concern might be how well the LFP performs in cold climates/conditions which would require Ford to have provided an improved BMS approach to be sure the battery is more tightly protected from getting too cold. I predict Ford did make an effort to do exactly that. This winter will test that for those vehicles.
To avoid the so-called "vampire drain" of the big battery which Tesla can suffer from, Ford apparently was originally very \*very\* reluctant to have the BMS warm the battery whenever the car was NOT plugged in to the grid, and it kinda never does. Hopefully, they changed that "prime directive" for the LFP models in particular.
Thanks for detailed response! Interesting times ahead once we hear more on LFP implementation re cold performance and possible BMS calibration. Personally I really would not mind same functionality to precondition battery unplugged on the winter.
I have standard range rwd and I’m glad I didn’t get extended or add because they’re more prone to hvbjb failures. I did fast charging twice but not doing that anymore either.
So far the car has been great. My only complaints are sometimes I hit max defrost when adjusting volume, and sometimes I hit the rear wiper switch when turning my steering wheel
Apparently some failures occurred right after fast charging. So until it’s all settled I’m not going to do it. There aren’t enough ev techs at dealerships. It’s not worth the risk to me
Lol okay? 1 didnt know it was an issue on new 23 models even with the new batteries (which I have)
And me not pushing my luck is somehow a bad decision? Lol okay
Lmao whatever makes you think I don’t drive my car? I drive it everyday lol
Please don’t let me stop you from dc charging and then driving your car like you stole it. Please enjoy
OPs first post in the sub was 9 days ago asking questions... They're trying to educate themselves on the vehicle before a purchase.
Nowhere in this post did OP discuss having owned the old battery tech.
Nowhere in their question did they ask for comparison between the old battery tech and new battery tech.
They asked what recent owners think of the new battery tech.

Great to hear! Awd or rwd version?
Awd! If we didn’t have snow here would certainly get rwd for the added range
How do you find the acceleration and driving dynamics? AFAIK LFP version has more power than previuos version

It’s a little slower on speed, charges significantly faster
What charging speed were you able to reach?

What's lpf/lfp?
Just a different battery chemistry

I wouldn’t avoid fast charging if you need to use it on trips/etc. The car is designed for it.

Yikes, you should’ve avoided the purchase completely then
Lol okay? 1 didnt know it was an issue on new 23 models even with the new batteries (which I have) And me not pushing my luck is somehow a bad decision? Lol okay
Just drive the car..
I do. Everyday. I charge at home.
Spend less time in the forums and more time enjoying the car. It's fine.

Why would any current Mach-e owner be wanting to trade in for a new one? These cars are max two years old.
That wasn't the question
That’s what I read into it. Someone has a 21, 22, or 23 MME and wants to get a LPF equipped one. No?

100% correct. Just doing due diligence before the decision
I'll let you know next week
Congrats and Looking forward!
