- Ford C-Max Energi, Premium Mach-E ordered
Ford's own PR photos reveal a 3.6 mile per kW usage, Why would it get 3.0 miles per kW when Elon of Tesla states the new model Y gets 4.1 miles per kW? The Y is similar in specs to the Mach E.Those statements almost seem to conflict with each other. "Scary fast performance" to me seems like a bigger power user, not a frugal one. I know they do their best it find that balance, but seems those two things are indirectly proportionate.
Their mileage estimates could very well be conservative, but I'm not expecting them to be by much. I suspect this will be more of a performance vehicle than an efficiency vehicle. Especially with the extra weight of the AWD motor and the ER batteries.
It ultimately comes down to the miles/kWh. Lesser performance vehicles like the Bolt seem to get somewhere around 3.5 with a mix of city/highway. I'm expecting something around 3 for the Mach-e. Hope I'm surprised to the upside, but I'm not finding much reason to expect better. (Maybe 3.5 city and 2.5 @ 75 MPH).
