A slightly higher usable battery capacity contributed to a higher estimated range for the new model year version.
Ford has recently announced new, higher prices for the 2022 model year Mustang Mach-E, but we noticed also a small increase in the usable battery capacity (the estimated range at the time remained the same).
Now, Ford’s website lists new, higher EPA range values for most of the 2022 Mach-E versions – only the GT versions maintained the same range.
It suggests that maybe the GT had a higher battery capacity unlocked right from the start (GT was launched several months after the other versions and noted a surprisingly high range compared to the initial target, comparable to the ER AWD version).
Let’s take a look at the new range figures, which, depending on the version, increase by 1.0-7.4% and up to 17 miles (27 km).
2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E EPA-Est. range:
- Select SR RWD 18″ – 247 mi (397 km) – up by 17 mi (27 km)/7.4% from 230 mi
- Select SR AWD 18″ – 224 mi (360 km) – up by 13 mi (21 km)/6.2% from 211 mi
- Premium SR RWD 19″ – 247 mi (397 km) – up by 17 mi (27 km)/7.4% from 230 mi
- Premium SR AWD 19″ – 224 mi (360 km) – up by 13 mi (21 km)/6.2% from 211 mi
- Premium ER RWD 19″ – 303 mi (488 km) – up by 3 mi (5 km)/1.0% from 300 mi
- Premium ER AWD 19″ – 277 mi (446 km) – up by 7 mi (11 km)/2.6% from 270 mi
- Route 1 ER RWD 18″ – 314 mi (505 km) – up by 9 mi (14 km)/3.0% from 305 mi
- Route 1 ER AWD 18″ – 312 mi (502 km) – new
- GT ER AWD 20″ – 270 mi (434 km) – no change
- GT Perf. ER AWD 20″ – 260 mi (418 km) – no change
For reference, the battery capacity, improved by 2 or 3 kWh, which is roughly 3%. To achieve higher range gains, the manufacturer probably improved the overall efficiency. We are waiting on the official data to be released by the EPA.
2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E battery capacity:
- Standard Range (75.7 kWh total): 70 kWh usable – up 2 kWh/2.9% from 68 kWh
- Extended Range (98.8 kWh total): 91 kWh usable – up 3 kWh/3.4% from 88 kWh
The range increase, combined with the improved fast charging curve, are two main examples that Ford is upgrading the Mach-E. The company also intends to increase the production volume to some 200,000 per year.
