rmc523 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Lineup Gets New eMotor, More Range (fordauthority.com) Perhaps the biggest change present in the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E is the addition of a brand new eMotor, which was developed in-house by FoMoCo engineers and is present in all trim levels. The new eMotor weighs less than the outgoing unit and also helps deliver improved torque across the lineup. The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E extended range battery now charges around 20 percent faster than previous models when using DC fast chargers – going from 10-80 percent in 36.2 minutes, wile the standard range battery can complete the same task in a quicker 32.3 minutes as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick73 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Extra 20 miles of range is definitely nice improvement, though mentioned charging rate of 10-80% in 36.2 minutes seems slow and not all that competitive compared to some of the latest BEVs. Even with extra 20 miles of range and 20% faster charging, it works out to about 370 MPH. That’s not entirely slow but some competition is doing twice that or even faster. Next generation and faster-charging batteries should reduce charging time considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The faster charging is certainly competitive. The EVs that charge faster are 800 volt systems (most, including Ford are 400 volt). That’s a generational change, and not something you’ll see in a minor refresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing up 800-Volt charging is a red herring IMO. While true that 800-Volts can deliver higher power, there are plenty of EVs charging at 400-Volts that are much faster in MPH, including most Tesla (Cybertruck may be 800-Volts, not sure, but other models 400-Volts). Even the lowest cost standard-range LFP Model 3 can charge at +/- 500 MPH (real world — seen it myself). I don’t disagree 800-Volts is the likely future, but that’s a different issue. Like I said, Mach-E is not bad, it’s just not great either by comparison to the best, including those vehicles limited to 400-Volt. Obviously there are vehicles that charged much slower like Chevy Bolt. I don’t want to argue, just remain objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
