I found an article that quoted a Ford exec as saying LFP would be used it 2023 Mach Es, but didn't say they'd be in ALL of them - so unclear if they're going to switch mid-year or make them all that way. I would think they'd build them all the same would be my semi-educated guess; since if LFP is lower energy density, you'd need more material, hence bigger battery pack, hence different size so different mounts, etc - you'd want all '23s to be the same for repair purposes.I wonder if the '23 mach-e will still have LFP for standard range. Or maybe that'll be for ROW only now. I was looking forward to a standard range LFP with the tax credit but that seems unlikely now.
EDIT - or possibly have standard battery pack LFP and Extended Range be the higher density existing tech - that would make some sense, and the two packs might be same size.
