In this episode of Turn Down for Watt, we sit down with Dave Blenkle, the Santa Cruz driver who has taken his 2022 Mustang Mach-E Premium an astonishing 250,000 miles—and counting. That’s the equivalent of driving all the way to the moon, and now he’s already on his way back.Dave shares his real-world EV experience: how smart charging habits, consistent maintenance, and features like regenerative braking and BlueCruise have kept his Mach-E running strong with nearly the same range as when it was new. He breaks down what long-distance EV ownership really looks like, the myths he’s disproven with his odometer, and the inspiration behind offering complimentary rides to veterans in his community.If you’ve ever wondered about EV battery longevity, daily charging strategies, or what it takes to put a quarter-million miles on an electric vehicle, this conversation is proof that the technology can go the distance—quietly, reliably, and sustainably.
