The Ford Mustang Mach-E might have a name hated by purists, but it charges approximately 30 percent faster than previously estimated.
According to the automaker, the extended-range rear-wheel drive variant can get about 61 miles (98 km) of range after being connected to an Electrify America DC fast charging station for approximately 10 minutes. That’s 14 miles (22 miles) more than previous estimates.
The extended-range all-wheel drive model is a bit less impressive as a 10 minute charge will only deliver about 52 miles (84 km) of range. However, Ford said both rear- and all-wheel drive variants should be able to go from a 10-80% charge in approximately 45 minutes using a DC fast charging station.

With the standard-range battery, a 10 minute charge will give the rear-wheel drive model 46 miles (74 km) of range. Likewise, the all-wheel drive model will be given 42 miles (68 km) of range. That’s a relatively small difference and both variants will go from a 10-80% charge in approximately 38 minutes using a DC fast charging station.
While charging on the go is important, most charging in done at home. Using the standard mobile charger and a 120-volt electrical outlet, owners can get 3 miles of range for every hour of charge. However, hooking it up to a 240-volt electrical outlet provides 21 miles (34 km) of range per hour.
Using the more powerful outlet, the extended-range rear-wheel drive Mustang Mach-E can go from a 0-100% charge in approximately 14.1 hours. Ford also offers an optional Connected Charge Station that can deliver 30 miles (48 km) of range per hour and a full recharge in about 10.1 hours.
Speaking of charging, the FordPass Charging Network has been expanded to include an additional 1,000 charging stations and an extra 5,000 charging plugs. That means drivers can access more than 13,500 charging stations and nearly 40,000 charging plugs through its network of partners such as Electrify America.
