Ford Mustang Mach-E will charge even quicker than previously thought
Owners will be able to juice the battery with up to 61 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
Great news, the electric SUV charges even quicker.
Ford's working to make Mustang Mach-E ownership pretty darn seamless when it comes to charging the electric SUV. And there's good news on that charging front because Ford said Friday the Mustang Mach-E will charge even quicker than the automaker first imagined.
With the extended-range battery and rear-wheel drive, the Mustang Mach-E will add 61 miles of range in 10 minutes. That's an improvement of 14 miles from the last estimate the Blue Oval gave. In a world where range anxiety is still very much a thing, every mile is appreciated.
The electric SUV with all-wheel drive and the same extended-range battery will add 52 miles in 10 minutes, but both models with the bigger battery will charge to 80% in 45 minutes. Those who opt for the standard-range battery will 46 miles and 42 miles in 10 minutes for the RWD and AWD models, respectively, and expect to wait 38 minutes for an 80% charge.
Keep in mind, all of these figures assume owners plug into a DC fast charging station and nothing lesser. Charging the EV on a Level 2 charger of standard household outlet will not result in a good time, I promise. As for the batteries' estimated total ranges, those who opt for the standard unit will be looking at 230 miles of range, or 210 miles with AWD. The extended-range pushes the Mustang Mach-E to 300 miles, or 270 miles with AWD.
Ford previously announced a partnership with Electrify America and others to provide access to 12,500 charging stations across the US, but there's more good news today: what the automaker calls the FordPass Charging Network will now add another 1,000 stations in the country for a 13,500 stations. Each station features multiple plugs, and Ford estimates there are nearly 40,000 chargers ready to accept a Mustang Mach-E. Each owner will receive complimentary access to this charging network, but they'll still need to pay for the actual charging session.
The Mustang Mach-E is reportedly still on track to launch this year and deliveries will start with the First Edition, which is sold out.
