Can It Go 270? | 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Range Test

When Ford released the range figures on the Mach-E, some started scratching their head. How is it that the Mach E, with 88kWh of energy on tap got a lower rating than a Model Y? This begs the question: How far can it really go? In my last test of the Model Y I managed 225 miles of range, can Ford best that?

It is also faster, larger interior, and there is no dedicated charging network for the mache lmao, Tesla can use both Superchargers and the chargers everyone else use. So no Bolt and Mach E will not cut into tesla sales one bit they will merely give ford and gm fans an option finally.

@@EpicLemonMusic Tesla can only use Chademo only if you have an adapter. Even then it's slow. Plus Super Chargers are getting crowded and you only get the fast speeds of you're not sharing a power line with someone next to you. Personally I rather not deal with Superchargers at this point. Not everyone wants a faster car, or harder suspension, less comfort, and the quality is much less than the Mach E. You mostly pay for performance and some tech in a Tesla. So I'll pass.

True, but reduce traction which should impact handling and braking. Hard to say whether they'll need to be replaced more often since you're concentrating more weight on a smaller surface area.

I find it really impressive that at mostly 70mph driving the Mach E gets more than its EPA range. I typically assume EPA is more accurate if you assume you're driving 55MPH with no HVAC, because that's what it seems to mean for most cars. This is a good thing for Ford: I think most people would rather be pleasantly surprised by their range than disappointed when they wanted to drive 70 for the full 270 miles.

Some EV's are designed to only use the middle range of the battery to extend it's life. My Volt would read 100% on the display, but it really is only at 90% of the battery's capacity. When it reads zero, there is 10% left in it. This kind of scheme is how you get around people's behaviors that damage batteries.

[@InvestBetter.]

15% larger battery, and 15% narrower tires gets it similar, or better, range to the Model Y Ford thought this out well. I think Ford did a great job with this EV, it just has a horrible name. Their branding strategy is terrible.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

One aspect of where you live and are able to test electric cars is the much greater proliferation of charging stations. Probably 90% of US does not have this concentration of charging outlets, meaning not only locations but total number of electric "pumps". It will be very interesting to view this video in 20 years when charging locations are as common as fuel pumps. For now you are in EV paradise and most of the country is in EV desert. In much of US people commute in F150s, CUVs and SUVs, and it is rare to see an EV. But the change will come. It will be interesting to see how many Mach E and ID.4 are sold in my EV desert this year. And yep, the folks going 80+ mph in Texas are not going to get 270 miles from their Mach E. 🙂🤠

[@dmegahan]

Ford is basically saying they have been the heart of epa range controversies before(think Cmax and fusion) They are not having any of that with this car. Underestimate, overdeliver.

[@RichardJoashTan]

But I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E 4X Premium anyway.

[@Alex-is-a-daddy]

Under similar condition, my Chinese made 60kwh can do 180-200 miles per charge with a little bit of safety buffer on the bottom. It seems that 88kwh with a heavier frame does not bump the range that much, 240 miles per charge is reasonable. But the price is double. So im waiting for the second gen ford ev with 100kwh package. That will worth the upgrade!

[@TruWrecks]

All range tests that compare to EPA results need to be performed at 55 MPH, since that is what the EPA uses for their speed test! At 55 the Mach-E AWD 4X can go 310 miles on a full charge even though it is rated at 270. Driving at 65 to 70 MPH is not a valid range test for EPA standards. Thanks for the effort.

[@Marmocet]

The amount of CO2 emitted manufacturing -an 88 kWh- a 98.8 kWh battery pack is around -8.8 to 26.4- 9.9 to 29.6 tons. Someone living and charging up their Mustang Mach E (and getting 270 miles from a fully charged battery) in California will emit an additional 1.2 tons per year if they drive the 14,500 mile/year American average. If the battery pack lasts 150,000 miles, the vehicle's average CO2 emissions will be anywhere from about -141 to 259- 148 to 280 grams per mile ( -88 to161- 92 to 174 gCO2/km) before accounting for CO2 emissions given off during the manufacture of the rest of the vehicle's components. For comparison, a typical figure for a hybrid vehicle over the course of its lifetime would be something like 250 grams of CO2 per mile (~155 gCO2/km), where the figure includes CO2 emissions generated manufacturing all of the vehicle's components as well as CO2 emissions generated refining and delivering the gasoline it uses to market. So to state the obvious, it isn't clear that EVs like this are better in terms of CO2 emissions than hybrid vehicles even in California where the CO2 intensity of electricity generation is lower than the national average, but if they are, at best they probably only represent an expensive way to achieve a modest improvement that could be achieved more economically in other ways.

Alex, I usually enjoy your unbiased reviews but I have to admit this review is not really up to your standards. You seem to compare this to the model Y however the comparison seems to be biased. Maybe its because you own it, I don't know. Let me explain, You mention the range of the Mach E VS the Model Y but your speed was different. You mention the Lower starting price of the Mach E but fail to mention the model you are driving is $6K more than the Tesla Model Y Long range and the Mach E 0-60 time performance is less. I have seen several videos where the Mach E would not connect to the Electrify America network and gets a fault that is a big advantage for the Tesla Supercharger. I hope you do a new video with an accurate comparison of the 2021 Model Y(Bigger Battery than the 2020) to the Mach E. Look forward to seeing that video.

I don’t like full electric cars, you never know your range depending on condition, especially here in canada., i prefer plug in hybrid, that allow electric on shorter range and use the gas for longer range without thinking if you will do it or not. I look the other day at 5e station between ottawa and montreal, and you better plan your trip. Also electric battery rely on china minerals. I don’t want that. Also these vehicle are difficult to get due to battery shortage. The pollutions to create these batteries is greater that the use of gas engine for many years. Also having some station does not mean you have a spot available. It is not like the gas pump you know will be free in few minutes..

[@timdsd]

For all the tech and the 340 kw charging available the Mach E will still be hampered by the often horrible charging network of EA and EVGo. It’s a beautiful vehicle and looks like it’s well made. Take a long trip, see what it’s like to have to move from plug to the next repeatedly and most times have to contact the customer support to try and diagnose the issue. Often it’s taken care of by a fairly quick reset of the station. But as I experienced in BFE Oklahoma at a Loves Country Store on a cross country trip, none of the 4 units there would work. I had to limp down the road at 35mph hoping to get to a station that would work. Cool looking car.

[@nylohro4091]

Range test videos are great but I don't see the point of them anymore. Range anxiety just isn't a thing anymore. Regular ICE vehicles get maybe 400-500 miles off a full tank and they only got that sort of range I'd say the last 20 years. For much of their history no one gave a shit about their range or fuel-efficiency. But suddenly with electric vehicles now people care about maximizing range and efficiency? 200-300 miles on a charge is more than enough for everyday driving. I like to see the car manufacturers improve but where we need to see improvement more is in the charging infrastructure and charge stations. But I still don't see myself charging an EV like a gas car. I'd just charge at home and it would seem unlikely for me to have a low battery during daily commute. The only concern would be driving on a long trip.

It doesn't matter if lowering your speed placates "EV people". If it's a test: RUN IT THE SAME EVERY TIME.

[@larryfinley9221]

Not bad Alex. My hat is off to Ford. Hopefully, they will come up with an electric F-150 in the near future. That will be a colossal game changer. I predict they won’t be able to build them fast enough. 😊

Different music next time?

[@eleanormassaro5195]

Hey, I liked the music, especially the one that sounded like old-school funk!😁

After the initial battery degradation of 5% that occurs in most all EV batteries, I'm sure the mileage will be more accurate to the 260-270 mile range. Probably the smart move to understate out of the factory.

I have a 2016 Genesis G80 5.0. Love the car! Now I’m looking at the Mach E as a second car. Your long term review will help make my decision. I want the GT version. Sorry not a fan of Tesla. I just hope there will be more charging stations in Sacramento area soon.

There's no need to apologize for not being a fan of any particular car brand.

Ford is slower than Tesla. If you want GT type performance, better to get Tesla and live with ailments.

Mustang ????

How much power does sitting still using AC use? Like in a 2 hour traffic jam or waiting hours for COVID test? Time- range lost?

[@grwatts9106]

No thanks.

[@laloajuria4678]

i dont think ppl realize, tesla is reserving maybe 3KW while the mache is about 12. i wonder if its truly down to the chemistry....

[@andmicbro1]

Ford really took "under promise, over deliver" to heart on the EPA estimate. And that's great! I would rather be pleasantly surprised than expect a certain level of performance and be disappointed.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

ok Alex, I was listening to your Polestar audio and this Ford Mustang, am I thinking the Ford is actually quieter?

[@elyasrasti8943]

literally drove by my house

Real world rage .. if the earth was flat 😂
