Ford’s latest data posted on official message boards debunks common myth about EV model

Ford has tackled common fears about its popular Mustang Mach-E model, and shared data to reassure EV drivers about its charging range.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E has been on sale for four years now, and while it’s proved to be a good seller, one consistent worry continues to leave this car in a questionable bracket.

The culprit? Its range – if Tesla’s range was described as a strong and steel, then Ford’s leading EV is more paper mache pinata: soggy and flimsy.

But Ford isn’t letting the haters win – the automaker has now come out swinging at that pinata with the baseball bat of facts.

Ford execs defend Mustang Mach-E range fears

Well, well, well, who’d have guessed that Ford is less than impressed with the stigma around the Mach-E’s charging range?

But the brand has good reason to be annoyed.

It currently holds the record for the longest drive on a single charge in EV history.

To celebrate the fourth birthday of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the car’s Chief Program Engineer, Donna Dickson, took to a message board and revealed some new data.

The executive posted driving patterns on the Mach-E forum, to explain the general habits of Ford EV users.

The main finding was that EV drivers managed an average of around 66 miles per day.

While that might sound low, it’s slightly higher than the average driver – it’s an SUV after all, and not necessarily an urban run-around.

But it’s still better than EVs – like Tesla – which often function as taxis.

Given that the model’s standard range is 230 miles – or 320 miles on the extended range – you can do nearly four days driving without charging it.

Home charging means batteries never run low anyway

But large gaps between charges aren’t an issue for 75% of owners.

Three-quarters of Mach-E drivers charge their EV from home, and most leave the house on a full charge and return with battery levels of over 70%.

That’s a quick top-up before dinner and you’re good to go again for the morning.

And, if you’re one of the few drivers that doesn’t charge at home, the Ford EV now has access to Tesla Supechargers with 2025 models, thanks to a new adapter.

“We have addressed requests for features that improve the charging experience.

“So for 2025, we’ve added the capability to set a universal charge limit, schedule preferred charge times at specific locations, and access real-time charging information in the vehicle,” Dickson said.

The post does gloss over some flaws, such as the range causing issues on road trips and longer commutes.

But for the majority of its intended audience, the Mach-E is proving the haters wrong.

The iconic brand is also winning over long-time Mustang drivers too, despite not having the hearty roar of a gas engine.
