Battery degradation poses a significant concern for electric vehicle (EV) owners, yet maintaining battery health over time is feasible. The Ford Mustang Mach-E has demonstrated this reliability, with one owner, David Blenkle, achieving over 250,000 miles while still accessing 290 miles of range. Initially rated at 303 miles, this indicates a mere 4% degradation after extensive use. The Mach-E challenges preconceptions about EV battery longevity and reliability, suggesting it can perform well over time with proper care.
The 2022 Mustang Mach-E Premium with rear-wheel drive had an EPA range rating of 303 miles, and after 250,000 miles, it consistently delivers approximately 290 miles of range.
David Blenkle, the owner of a 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E, reports a battery degradation rate of only 4%, maintaining 96% of its original capacity after extensive use.
Blenkle highlights the misconception surrounding EV battery life, stating, 'The biggest misconception I encounter is about battery life and range, and then I show them my odometer.'
The Mustang Mach-E, initially met with skepticism due to its name and Ford's transition to EV, has proven its long-term reliability and solid vehicle performance.
