Ford Reveals Mach-E Battery Degradation After 100k Miles
InsideEVs • • business
Key Points:
- Ford analyzed battery health data from 36,000 Mustang Mach-E electric SUVs, revealing that these vehicles retain about 92% of their battery capacity after an average of 55,000 miles over 5.2 years.
- Even Mach-Es with over 100,000 miles maintained more than 91% battery capacity, and those exceeding 200,000 miles still showed 88% capacity, indicating strong long-term battery durability.
- The study highlights that battery degradation in modern EVs is minimal compared to early models, with factors like climate and charging habits influencing battery longevity.
- Ford recommends managing temperature extremes, using Level 2 charging regularly, and limiting fast charging to extend battery life, with ongoing data helping improve future EV designs.
- These findings align with other industry research showing that modern EV batteries age gracefully, addressing common consumer concerns about battery lifespan.
