A Bit Extra EPA Vary, Improved Effectivity

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E lineup was just lately listed on the U.S. Environmental Safety Company (EPA) web site, revealing vary and power consumption numbers.

Based on the information, the most recent mannequin has a bit extra driving vary and is extra environment friendly than the earlier mannequin 12 months. We additionally famous that the 2024 model is faster than ever.

Driving Vary

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E has two battery choices—72 kilowatt-hours and 91 kWh of web capability. The checklist of powertrain choices consists of common single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor, all-wheel drive, in addition to a couple of performance-oriented varieties (GT and Rally).

Let’s begin with the entry-level 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E with a Normal Vary (SR) LFP battery (72 kWh). The RWD model has an EPA Mixed vary of 250 miles, the identical because the 2023 model-year model. The earlier 12 months, the automotive had 247 miles of EPA vary, utilizing a distinct NCM battery (70 kWh web).

In the meantime, the AWD model with the LFP battery was listed for the primary time. It has 230 miles of EPA vary. The earlier model with NCM battery was rated at 224 miles, so there’s a slight change.

If we examine the 2 varieties, each of that are outfitted with 19-inch wheels as commonplace, the vary distinction is 20 miles:

• Mach-E SR RWD 19-inch: 250 miles
• Mach-E SR AWD 19-inch: 230 miles
  [down 20 miles or 8.0% vs. RWD]

The Prolonged Vary (ER) battery choice, 91 kWh of web capability, will increase the vary considerably, as much as 320 miles. That is a 70-mile or 28% improve in comparison with the SR battery.

• Mach-E ER RWD 19-inch: 320 miles
• Mach-E ER AWD 19-inch: 300 miles
  [down 20 miles or 6.3% vs. RWD]

It is price noting that the 2024 mannequin 12 months model has 10 miles extra EPA vary than the 2023 mannequin 12 months, up about 3%.

Lastly, there are performance-oriented variations of the Ford Mustang Mach-E: GT and Rally. The GT has 280 miles of vary, 10 miles greater than beforehand. Nevertheless, there isn’t any data concerning the GT Efficiency model. The all-new Rally model has 265 miles of EPA vary.

• Mach-E GT ER AWD 20-inch: 280 miles
• Mach-E Rally ER AWD 19-inch: 265 miles

Let’s examine the outcomes on the chart:

Power Consumption

EPA power consumption (Mixed) of the common 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E with the default 19-inch wheels varies between 318 and 370 watt-hours per mile (2.7-3.1 miles/kWh), together with charging losses. The efficiency model consumes extra electrical energy, as much as 392 Wh/mi (2.6 miles/kWh).

• Mach-E SR RWD 19-inch: 330 Wh/mi or 3.0 miles/kWh
• Mach-E SR AWD 19-inch: 370 Wh/mi or 2.7 miles/kWh
• Mach-E ER RWD 19-inch: 318 Wh/mi or 3.1 miles/kWh
• Mach-E ER AWD 19-inch: 340 Wh/mi or 2.9 miles/kWh
• Mach-E GT ER AWD 20-inch: 374 Wh/mi or 2.7 miles/kWh
• Mach-E Rally ER AWD 19-inch: 392 Wh/mi or 2.6 miles/kWh

Curiously, the Normal Vary battery variations devour extra electrical energy than the Prolonged Vary variations.

Listed below are the detailed outcomes:

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E SR RWD with 19-inch wheels consumes roughly a tenth extra power, together with charging losses, than the AWD model, which is estimated at 102 MPGe or about 330 watt-hours per mile (3.0 miles/kWh).

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E ER RWD with 19-inch wheels consumes roughly 7% extra power, together with charging losses, than the AWD model, which is estimated at 106 MPGe or about 318 watt-hours per mile (3.1 miles/kWh).

Based on the EPA, each variations are noticeably extra environment friendly than earlier than. A distinction of a number of p.c is troublesome to clarify, contemplating solely a slight improve in vary of 10 miles. It is perhaps associated to extra environment friendly charging.

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT ER RWD with 20-inch wheels’ power consumption, together with charging losses, is estimated at 90 MPGe or about 374 watt-hours per mile (2.7 miles/kWh).

At present, the least environment friendly is the 2024 Ford Should. Mach-E Rally ER AWD with 19-inch wheels, rated at 86 MPGe: 392 Wh/mi or 2.6 miles/kWh.

The power consumption numbers are noticeably higher than within the earlier mannequin 12 months, which is analogous to the common ER variations.

Let’s observe that the freeway MPGe scores are noticeably decrease than the mixed values. We estimate the EPA Freeway vary is perhaps roughly 5-20 miles decrease. Nevertheless, that is solely a tough estimate as a result of the MPGe quantity consists of charging losses.

Primary specs

Curiously, the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E is faster than the 2023MY. The SR RWD model can speed up from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, in comparison with 6.3 seconds beforehand. The AWD model can do it in 4.6 seconds, versus 5.1 seconds beforehand.

Within the case of the ER RWD and ER AWD variations, the 0-60 time is 5.2 seconds and 4.1 seconds, respectively. The 2023MY was rated at 6.1 and 4.8 seconds.

The performance-oriented GT model has a base 0-60 mph time of three.8 seconds and three.3 seconds with the Efficiency bundle, whereas the Rally model is rated at 3.4 seconds. Beforehand, the GT Efficiency model was rated at 3.5 seconds.

Pricing

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E begins at an MSRP of $39,995 plus a $1,895 vacation spot cost. The highest-of-the-line model value greater than $60,000.

One of the crucial attention-grabbing findings is that the 2024 mannequin 12 months has introduced a brand new ER AWD configuration within the base Choose trim. It begins at $48,890 (together with DST) and provides 300 miles of EPA vary. Then again, there isn’t any extra Route 1 trim.

The mannequin has no federal tax credit score when buying, though the inducement is perhaps out there when leasing.
