For a lease dummy, what happens at the end of it besides turning up with the truck?
People are charging their Fords and some others at Tesla chargers. How much do those charge in your low cost electricity area?
At the end of the lease I can buy the lease out or pay the $395 disposition fee to give it back. I will almost certainly do the latter, for $299 a month and at this point in the EV game, I like it enough to have it for 2 years, but I'm hoping there's better capabilities out there in the marketplace at the end of the lease, like faster charging and a later version of BlueCruise - on the 2025 Mach-Es they are going to new hardware and BlueCruise 1.5 for example. (This truck, because it is an XLT, does not have BlueCriuse and I am really missing it compared to my wife's Mach-E). Barring any of that, the buyout on the lease (in the $40s) will almost certainly be higher than the market value of the truck at the end of the lease, so there would be no financial reason to excercise the buyout. If they wanted to negiotiate a market value purchase of the truck at that time, it might be a consideration, but an excercise of a buyout per the terms written on the contract, I'm 99.999% sure won't happen.
I've only tried using a V4 Tesla Supercharger once just for kicks, in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It just happened to be in our route of travel so we stopped in, mainly for my personal curiosity versus using Electrify America/EVgo/etc. We were on our way out of the country flying out of DFW, so I didn't really note how much it cost. I also used Plug and Charge, as opposed to turning the charger on through the Tesla app, so, Ford tacked on $3 or so on top of the cost. I don't have the CCS to NACS adapter, so, without that I can only use the very latest (V4) Superchargers that have the adapter built in. I don't have any of those V4s anywhere near my house, or between my house and work.
Using a V4 once, I can say Tesla Superchargers are not my first choice because Ford EVs don't display the charging rate on the car screen, and no Superchargers have screens at all. So you really have no way of knowing what your charge rate is without tapping into some kind of OBD2 data, which I see people doing on YouTube, but I haven't purchased an ELM327 adapter for my Ford EVs nor do I plan to. And it's pretty important to know your charge rate, because it directly impacts how long you will sit at a charger and if you are getting the optimal rate for your vehicle and so forth.
Additionally I could not get the adapter loose from the V4 Supercharger, but my wife did it quite easily, maybe I was going a little too gorilla on it, not sure.
Maybe if I go on a long trip through remote areas where Tesla Superchargers are the best option, I'd reconsider the ELM327 adapter and get more down into the data. I'm sure my wife would find my geeking out annoying though lol.
