Default Ford Mustang Mach-E EPA figures

Information about the new Ford Mustang Mach-E is starting to trickle out. I haven't seen any "driven" reviews of significance. But some reviews of static displays are starting to appear on various internet forums. From what I have read, early feedback would be encouraging for Ford.

USA EPA figures have also been released. The Mach-E range is a little below what Ford has been suggesting. Noting that EV range is dependent on driver behaviour (i.e. a good technique can eek out more range than a bad driving technique), the EPA range comes in a 250 miles (416km) for the AWD and 288 miles (480km) for the RWD.

https://iaspub.epa.gov/otaqpub/displ...d=51317&flag=1

Looking at the test data, the Ford Mach-E then took in 101 kWh of electricity. Using typical domestic cost of electricity (21.55 c/Khw), the recharge cost is $21.7 for 416km of range. Assuming that a typical ICE crossover would have mixed (city+highway) driving around 8l/100km, using a price of $1.10/l, the cost to refuel the ICE crossover would be around $36.6. (Assuming my rubbery maths is correct.)

Any comparison in running costs is obviously highly variable, dependant on driver technique, cost of petrol (which is swinging around wildly at present), and which electricity rate that is chosen. (For example, off-peak electricity is 15 c/kWh, which reduces a recharge to around $15.) Add to that SA government budget proposal to include a km tax on EV.

From what I can read, Ford believe there is more range available in the Mach-E and will be going back for a re-test in the next few months.

(PS. The electric blue colour looks awesome in the pictures.)

Default Re: Ford Mustang Mach-E EPA figures

Here's the other thing to consider,
the starting price of the base Mach E in the US is close to Bullitt,
so that would mean a price to us would start around AUS$73K.
