Ford Mustang Mach E Range is Better than What EPA Says: Edmunds

Nevertheless, all Teslas tested did not meet their EPA numbers.

The Ford Mustang has a strong start, with approximately 10,000 units already produced and approximately 5,000 delivered to dealers. The electric crossover is getting rave reviews and Ford might have more reasons to love its zero-emission product.

According to the official EPA numbers, the Mustang Mach-E had a range between 211 and 300 miles on a single charge, depending on which version. Edmunds suggests that these numbers might be too conservative, as the crossover can do more.

Comparing the EV’s real world range and energy consumption numbers with the EPA figures, the publication suggests that the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E AWD Extended Range joins 300-mile club. Edmunds measured the crossover at 62°F (16.6°C) and it covered 304 miles on a single charge at 33.1 kWh/100 miles. The EPA estimates a range of 270 miles with a consumption rate of 37 kWh / 100.

This is 12.6 percent more real-world range, and 10.5 percent less energy consumption. The Extended Range AWD model actually performs better than what the EPA estimates for the Extended Range RWD model. If Edmunds is correct, then the single-motor Mach E with the larger battery might be capable of driving approximately 330 miles on a single charge.

Edmunds noted that none of the Tesla models it tested was able to meet the EPA’s estimates. The Porsche Taycan meanwhile, outperformed the EPA ratings with a range 323 miles (59.3 percent greater than the EPA’s estimate). Good job, Stuttgart!
