The Porsche Taycan is 10% or so bigger--L x W--than the Mach-e and they fit a 93 kwh battery in the floor. Same battery manufacturer as Ford. The Tesla Model 3 is roughly the same size as the e; they fit about a 78 kwh battery in the floor. Tesla is the acknowledged leader in EV battery technology and Elon said that's all they had room for. How did Ford fit a 99 kwh battery in the Mach e?
My guess is the battery doesn't exist yet; they're working on something new. That would explain the lack of any solid performance numbers. Without knowing what the battery can safely put out, they can't know how fast the car will be. Speaking of which, with a 99 kwh battery, why are the performance numbers so low? With that much current available they should be targeting sub 3, not sub 4. Yes I know, kwh is not current. But a larger kwh battery has more cells and is therefore capable of outputting more current.
Ideas?
