EPA Certifies Mach-E Range Targets, 300 Miles for Premium Extended Range RWD

2021 Mustang Mach-E Meets Targeted EPA Estimated Range Ratings, Hits 300 Miles in Premium Extended-Range RWD



DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2020 – Today, Ford announced the United States Environmental Protection Agency has certified range numbers for several variants of the all-electric 2021 Mustang Mach-E.

Ford has met all its targeted EPA-estimated range ratings for variants tested by the EPA to date. The premium extended-range rear-wheel-drive Mustang Mach-E meets its targeted EPA-estimated range of 300 miles, while the extended-range all-wheel-drive model meets its targeted EPA-estimated 270-mile range. Standard-range rear-wheel-drive Mustang Mach-E meets its targeted EPA-estimated range of 230-mile, while the standard-range all-wheel-drive model exceeds its 210 miles of targeted range, with an EPA-estimated range of 211 miles.



“This validation by the EPA comes at a perfect time as the Mustang Mach-E is gearing up to take on the open road,” said Darren Palmer, global director, Battery Electric Vehicles, Ford Motor Company.

The California Route 1 has a targeted EPA-estimated range of 300 miles1 which will be confirmed once EPA officials complete their tests.

Customer deliveries for the Mustang Mach-E will start in December in the United States.

Actual range varies with conditions such as external elements, driving behaviors, vehicle maintenance, lithium ion battery age and state of health. California Route 1 final EPA-estimated ratings expected in the 2020 calendar year

Sounds like some sandbagging to release some more range in the near future. I like it.

See - I wasn't lying with the window sticker! ?

Hmm CA Rt1 to be listed later....

?? huh?? Extended range RWD = 300 is shown. It's by powertrain configuration not trim.

Its just time I am assuming to finish the test - its the same vehicle as RWD ER anyways.

Right but it has smaller aero wheels which could improve on that 300 mi range by as much as 5%

Yep I missed that bit. Carry on.

Excellent News! I thought all of that drama was much ado about nothing!

This is good, but that standard range is embarrassing. I guess it's acceptable for some low range folks. Pay more now or get less later. Resale on the standard range can't be very good.

I’m not worried about resale. The Mach e is replacing my wife’s 16 year old car she’s had since new. If we save the Mach e even half that long, I imagine even 300 miles of range will seem super small in 2029. But, that is my personal situation and (pun intended), your mileage may vary. ?

It still may: "The California Route 1 has a targeted EPA-estimated range of 300 miles1 which will be confirmed once EPA officials complete their tests."

So an extra 15 miles?

I won't be embarrassed driving around in my standard range Mach-E. I'll be happy to have not spent an extra $5,000+ on a capability that will never pay itself back for me.

I doubt your "pay more now or get less later" conclusion will bear fruit.
