10 minutes charging equals 98 km for Mustang Mach-E

KUALA LUMPUR: After 10 minutes of recharging at one of Electrify America’s DC fast-charging stations, the rear-wheel drive, extended range Mustang Mach-E will be able to go 98 kilometres. According to Ford, the said figure is 30 percent more than the earlier estimates.

At the moment, DC fast chargers are not available at all Electrify America locations. As of February 2020, the Blue Oval had 400 of these charging stations in the United States.

For other Ford Mustang Mach-E variants, the versions with extended-range battery and all-wheel-drive achieve 84 kilometres of range in 10 minutes. The variant with the standard battery, the rear-wheel drive car can add 74 kilometres in the same charging time. The all-wheel version, on the other hand, manages 61 kilometres after the same 10-minute charging.

Ford global director of electrification, Mark Kaufman during the announcement of charging time said, “We’ve made it a priority to make it faster to recharge their Mustang Mach-E, and we’re continuing to work with providers to ensure even more charge points are available through FordPass to make it easier to recharge.”

The FordPass Charging Network has grown to include 1000 more stations, which means there are 5,000 more plugs where future Mach-E owners can top-up their EV. The number of charging stations network now totals over to 13,500 locations. Ford American has introduced an interactive map that allows the Mach-E owners to see the charging station near them or along the route.

For charging the crossover at home, the company will offer a 48-amp system that will get the job done in 10.1 hours.

The launch of Mach-E was delayed due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we hear that the production will begin in June or July, rather than in May. Deliveries will commence two to three months after the assembly starts.
