DC FAST CHARGING MUSTANG MACH-E FROM 0-100% TAKES OVER 2 HOURS! HERE'S WHY.

EV Channels Review

This video meticulously details the DC fast charging performance of the Ford Mustang Mach-E with the Extended Range Battery and AWD. The reviewer highlights a significant departure from typical EV charging curves, attributing it to Ford's unique, time-based charging strategy. While the car can achieve a peak of 167 kW, it rapidly tapers off, especially at lower states of charge, and experiences a drastic drop to 12 kW after 80%. The reviewer notes that a full 0-100% charge took over 2.5 hours, with the 0-80% segment consuming about 55 minutes. Despite the slow charging, the reviewer praises the Mach-E as a capable road trip vehicle with good range and driving dynamics, and finds the charging cost reasonable. The primary critique is directed at the charging curve, which is suspected to be a software limitation that Ford may address in future updates. The video concludes by emphasizing the need for further testing with potential software improvements.
