GRASSHOPPER REORTING TO DUTY SIR:

no change in battery chemistry

2025	150 kW	~90 kW	~38–43 min	More taper after 50%
2026	150 kW	~105 kW	~32–37 min	Improved thermal management; native NACS

Native NACS

AI slop strikes again

2026 Mach-E STILL has a CCS donnector, batteries are the same from 2025...
I think AI searches are relying too much on fanboy wishlist sites for their info.

Don't take this as an attack, but the native NACS erodes credibility. Can you cite a source?

The window sticker is your best way to know the differences. Compare a 25 and 26 of the same trim and all will be revealed. (And if you feel lazy, you can ask your favorite AI to do it for you. Just don't complain about energy prices or going thirsty as your water is depleted so that Elmo can have Grok create revenge fantasy porn.)

EDITED: I will add there is one important battery difference between 25 and 26. Ford dropped the available battery energy from 91 kWh to 88 kWh. (That is [not] fact, not it's AI JFS slop. It actually is a difference from 24 to 25...)

GT still has 91

This was done for 2025. No change for 2026. And GT retains 91kWh pack.

Alibaba should never be used for a technical resource!
Also we found the Mach-E with the Ford logo on the Frille!

edit- Found this on the same page! Sorry Grasshopper, nothing personal.

Looking at GT's sitting on the Lot in NE - Reason to value a '26 over a '25?

No, Magneride is optional on the 26s, it was standard on the 25s.

 

[Mach-Lee]

Oh! This is the first I’ve heard of the 2026’s charging faster. @Mach-Lee have you any word on this?

YouTube channel Gjeebs just had a GT on review in Arizona and the 10-80% DC charging session went poorly.

I don't know of any major changes to charging speed for 2026.

Yeah, don't believe AI. If you want to know model year changes, look at the order guide. Here you go:

Yes, they shrunk the Premium extended battery for MY 2025 not 2026.

 

[JohnFoxeSheets]

My bad, I misread the vehicle search on Ford.com. (Think of it as JFS slop )

Outside of the Good Looks of the MME; in 2026, I'm struggling to see the value of a 2026 MME......I saw the California Special (and damn it is a pretty car!!) is going to run $65K

The BMW iX3 is going to start in low $60K.....

Performance & Powertrain

• • Motor: Dual-motor AWD.
  • Horsepower: 463 hp.
  • Torque: 476 lb-ft (645 Nm).
  • 0-60 mph: ~4.7 seconds.
  • Top Speed: 130 mph. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Battery & Charging

• • Battery Capacity: 108.7 kWh usable (115 kWh nominal, NMC cylindrical cells).
  • Range: Up to 400 miles EPA estimated (456–500 miles WLTP).
  • Max DC Charging: Up to 400 kW.
  • Charge Time: 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes on a high-speed DC charger.
  • AC Charging: 11 kW standard, with 22 kW optional.
  • Bi-directional Charging: Supports V2L, V2H, and V2G. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

***400 mile range and 10-80% in 21 minutes!?!?......I mean unless your just a die-hard Ford or Mustang guy.....the competition is going to be hard to ignore.....

And if you don't want an "import" as we would say back in the day.....Rivian R2 has 330-345 miles/charge and I believe there 10-80% is under 30 min......

I'm hanging on to see what Ford has with this little truck but it does not seem like the original MME buyers are there intended target audience.....
