2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium: InsideEVs 70 MPH Range Test via insideevs.com
Surprisingly, our test mirrored the first test we did with an AWD extended-range Mach-E and ended with the same result: 285 miles driven. We were expecting to best our first test since the 2023 Mach-E we tested has 20 more miles or EPA-rated range.
However, it was slightly colder in this test than it was when we did the first one. When started out in the morning, it was in the upper 50s, and for most of the test, the temperature was in the mid-60s. When we range-tested the vehicle in 2021, it was perfect range weather as the temperature was in the 70s for the whole drive.The consumption rate was 3.1 miles-per-kilowatt-hour, slightly worse than the 3.3 mi/kWh we observed in our first test.
There was one more difference in the two tests that may have accounted for the part of why the 2023 Mach-E with a longer EPA-rated range didn't beat the 2021 car. That was the fact that in the first test, we didn't use climate control because the temperature was so that we didn't need it.
We had to make that change once we realized we'd be conducting these tests year-round, and not using climate control during some tests wouldn't be possible. That, plus the colder temperature during the test likely were the two main reasons the new Mach-E didn't outperform the older version in the tests.We always like to mention that these range tests aren't perfect. There are variables out of our control, like wind, traffic, topography, and weather.
We conduct these 70-mph range tests to provide another data point for potential customers that are looking for as much information on the driving range of a particular EV as they can get.
