Ford Mustang electrified models
Several electrified Ford Mustang models will be launched by 2021. The Mustang Mach-E is the first project of Ford Team Edison. Ford Team Edison is a new "company within the company" that develops electric vehicles. The naming was inspired by the light bulb inventor Thomas Edison, who was a good friend of Henry Ford.
Recent tests realized by Ford show that the new, all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E achieves an average WLTP range of 119 km within about ten minutes when charging at an IONITY fast charging point*. The real-world tests showed an increase in range of up to 26 kilometers during fast charging compared to previous computer-simulated results. This represents an improvement of almost 30 percent. The figures refer to the model with optional "Extended Range" battery and rear-wheel drive.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD with "Extended Range" battery and all-wheel drive through the dual electric motor achieves an estimated WLTP range of 107 kilometers within ten minutes. Both versions (all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive) can be recharged to 80 percent of battery capacity within 45 minutes, starting from a ten percent residual charge of the "Extended Range" battery.
Low power consumption
The Ford Mustang Mach-E versions with "Standard Range" batteries achieve an average range of 91 kilometers (rear-wheel drive) and 85 kilometers (all-wheel drive) with a charging time of ten minutes at an IONITY fast charging point; the charging time from ten to 80 percent battery capacity is 38 minutes in each case.
The maximum charging power of the Ford Mustang Mach-E is 150 kW.
"Mustang Mach E customers love the open road. Less time charging means more time enjoying the drive," said Mark Kaufman, global director, Electric Vehicles, Ford Motor Company. "We're committed to maximizing the speed of charging the new Ford Mustang Mach-E, and we continue to work with a wide range of providers to make even more charging points accessible through FordPass to make charging easier."
The power consumption of the new Mustang Mach-E is between 18.1 and 16.5 kWh/100 km (combined)* according to WLTP. In terms of the "Extended Range" battery, this means a range of up to 600 kilometers before the vehicle needs to be recharged. The "Standard Range" battery has a storage capacity of 75 kWh and offers a range of up to 450 kilometers according to WLTP.
The new Mustang Mach-E is a 4.71-meter-long, 1.88-meter-wide and 1.60-meter-high crossover SUV with electric drive. It will be offered with a choice of two battery options (Standard Range / Extended Range), rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (dual electric motor), and in various power ratings. Price: from 49,560 Swiss francs (recommended retail price from Ford-Werke GmbH plus transfer and registration costs). The battery packs are located in the vehicle floor between the axles to save space.
Ford Charging Solutions and IONITY fast charging stations
In Europe, Ford has taken on one of the most important issues in electric mobility - the fast and convenient charging of electric vehicles. Thanks to a holistically designed system called Ford Charging Solutions, which will also integrate the free FordPass app, customers - in cooperation with the company NewMotion - will in future be able to use Europe's largest and fastest-growing public charging network with over 125,000 charging points in 21 countries. The offering will be complemented by a practical charging solution for the home.
In addition, 400 HPC (High Power Charging) fast charging stations with their nearly 2,400 charging points are available, which the IONITY consortium - of which Ford is one of the founding members and partners - will install along European long-distance roads by the end of 2020. The distance between the individual charging stations is to be a maximum of 120 kilometers.
Earlier this year, Stuart Rowley, president of Ford of Europe, called on governments, industries and institutions to support electrification by accelerating the expansion of public charging infrastructure. At the same time, the group has committed to building 1,000 charging stations at Ford locations across Europe over the next three years to enable employees to easily and conveniently charge their electrified vehicles.
18 electrified Ford models by the end of 2021
The all-electric Mustang Mach-E heads a fast-growing lineup of 18 electrified Ford models in total that the company will launch in Europe by the end of 2021.
