Ehh. To an extent sure.
Remember that EA chargers were born out of a penalty assessed.
It's $0.31/kWh for EA members ($4/mo). It's also quite possible that Mustang Mach-E owners will get that discount or more. We'll find out soon enough.

That's the biggest liability that the EA network has. Once the VW money runs out, who is going to keep them running?
I'm going to 'preview' a Mach-E on Saturday at a local Ford dealership. No test drives until the end of the year, but you can check it out and ask questions. I'll be sure to ask about charging plans, especially in light of the ID.4 deal. Will do a post with my impressions afterwards.

Possible, but not probable nor practical at this time. Certainly not cost-effective.

So you don’t think kids are a reliable source of information on what up and coming trends are in our world? Now I’m the one that doesn’t know what to say! Kids are THE source for these things. But don’t take my word for it, take a moment and entertain yourself by watching this clip about kids and Tesla by Jim Cramer, famous stock market guru:
Jim Cramer: Young people have a better sense of the future
Now if we could just find out what kids think of the Mach-E
, maybe we would know whether to buy Ford stock!
Fortunately, my Model S has free Supercharging for life so I don't need to worry about how much EA is charging.
I had a chance to check out a Mach-E at a local dealership last Saturday. If you're interested, my 'preview' can be found here - Electrically Speaking

I buy into a eco-system. While Ford may make vehicles, they don't provide the supercharging system that Tesla has.

“You can charge for free at the store you bought the car at”
Thats soooo encouraging.
I got a FB ad about their preview tour. One can check at Mach-E Activation if/when it might be at a Ford dealer in your area. It's going to be at a dealer near home for me on Nov 2nd. From the dates, the definitely have multiple cars on tour around the country.
Serious question, how much do you charged at a supercharger vs charging at home? I only been to a supercharger 3 times with my Model Y. The Ford compares against the model Y, so no free supercharging for us.Fortunately, my Model S has free Supercharging for life so I don't need to worry about how much EA is charging.

I looked into the Mach-E when I was researching my purchase. I sat in them at auto shows, but haven't had the chance to ride in one yet. The main reasons I crossed it off my list were 1) concerns about charging availability (which is less of a concern now) and 2) Price. The Mach-E is comparable to the MY LRAWD in MSRP but every dealer I spoke to wanted a minimum of $6,100 on top of MSRP just for the privilege of buying one. That really turned me off, so I went elsewhere (Tesla).
I do a lot of road trips to Kansas, Nebraska and Nevada and have Supercharged over 100 times on road trips. That's probably around 25000 miles. Probably 95% of the Supercharging was on road trips. Typically we charge from home with our solar and Powerwalls. We have friends who have Supercharged over 60000 miles as they have driven all over the country.
This might change eventually, but they have to be losing money on them right now. I think I've seen a total of two cars at the one here.
The supercharger had more than twice that many cars there in the 15 minutes that I charged there last time.
