Saw this article today where the Mach E set 3 Guiness world records beating out Tesla. They included a 6.5 mile/kWh (500 mile range) and fastest charge time:

Impressive, but anyone have more details? My first question is: how?? I didnāt think 6.5 was possible in this car.
Ford Mustang Mach-E takes home two more Guinness World Records taking total tally to three
James Batchelor
Not content with claiming one Guinness World Record, Ford has notched up another two with its Mustang Mach-E.
In July, the pure-electric SUV took part in an efficiency run between John OāGroats and Landās End where it achieved a new record for the least energy consumed by an EV.
Despite having ājustā a 379-mile range, the Mustang consumed 6.5 miles per kilowatt hour (kWh) ā technically giving it a 500-mile range. This broke the previous record of 1.8 miles per kWh.
Now the car has claimed the shortest time charge record, taking just 43 minutes, 13 seconds for a charge on the John OāGroats and Landās End trip ā over half an hour quicker than the previous record, held by Tesla.
The Mustang has also claimed the record for the fewest number of stops to complete the journey, notching up just one break for a top-up charge.
Tim Nicklin, Fordās electrification manager, said: āAs deliveries ramp up, customers can be assured of Mach-Eās viability for daily use ā as evidenced by this triple record-breaking performance, even on the UKās most extreme journey.
āFordās own Go Electric report on consumer perceptions reveals that the average range which the public thinks an electric car can travel is under 150 miles.
āIf the Mach-E can achieve well over three times that distance in the hands of professionals, and under 45 minutes of top-up charging on route, it can easily accommodate customersā everyday requirements.ā
Mustang Mach-E Prices start at Ā£41,330 for the rear-wheel-drive model with a 273-mile range.
The top-spec GT model starts at Ā£67,225 and has all-wheel-drive and a sub-five-second 0-60mph time.
