The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E lineup was recently listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, revealing range and energy consumption numbers.

According to the data, the latest model has a bit more driving range and is more efficient than the previous model year. We also noted that the 2024 version is quicker than ever.

Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the most popular all-electric cars in the U.S. with more than 126,000 units sold between December 2020 and May 2024.

Driving Range

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E has two battery options—72 kilowatt-hours and 91 kWh of net capacity. The list of powertrain options includes regular single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor, all-wheel drive, as well as a few performance-oriented types (GT and Rally).

Let’s start with the entry-level 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E with a Standard Range (SR) LFP battery (72 kWh). The RWD version has an EPA Combined range of 250 miles, the same as the 2023 model-year version. The previous year, the car had 247 miles of EPA range, using a different NCM battery (70 kWh net).

Meanwhile, the AWD version with the LFP battery was listed for the first time. It has 230 miles of EPA range. The previous version with NCM battery was rated at 224 miles, so there is a slight change.

If we compare the two types, both of which are equipped with 19-inch wheels as standard, the range difference is 20 miles:

  • Mach-E SR RWD 19-inch: 250 miles
  • Mach-E SR AWD 19-inch: 230 miles
    [down 20 miles or 8.0% vs. RWD]

The Extended Range (ER) battery option, 91 kWh of net capacity, increases the range substantially, up to 320 miles. That’s a 70-mile or 28% increase compared to the SR battery.

  • Mach-E ER RWD 19-inch: 320 miles
  • Mach-E ER AWD 19-inch: 300 miles
    [down 20 miles or 6.3% vs. RWD]

It’s worth noting that the 2024 model year version has 10 miles more EPA range than the 2023 model year, up about 3%.

Finally, there are performance-oriented versions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E: GT and Rally. The GT has 280 miles of range, 10 miles more than previously. However, there is no info about the GT Performance version. The all-new Rally version has 265 miles of EPA range.

  • Mach-E GT ER AWD 20-inch: 280 miles
  • Mach-E Rally ER AWD 19-inch: 265 miles

Let’s see the results on the chart:

* Battery packs: SR—Standard Range, ER—Extended Range

Energy Consumption

EPA energy consumption (Combined) of the regular 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E with the default 19-inch wheels varies between 318 and 370 watt-hours per mile (2.7-3.1 miles/kWh), including charging losses. The performance version consumes more electricity, up to 392 Wh/mi (2.6 miles/kWh).

  • Mach-E SR RWD 19-inch: 330 Wh/mi or 3.0 miles/kWh
  • Mach-E SR AWD 19-inch: 370 Wh/mi or 2.7 miles/kWh
  • Mach-E ER RWD 19-inch: 318 Wh/mi or 3.1 miles/kWh
  • Mach-E ER AWD 19-inch: 340 Wh/mi or 2.9 miles/kWh
  • Mach-E GT ER AWD 20-inch: 374 Wh/mi or 2.7 miles/kWh
  • Mach-E Rally ER AWD 19-inch: 392 Wh/mi or 2.6 miles/kWh

Interestingly, the Standard Range battery versions consume more electricity than the Extended Range versions.

Here are the detailed results:

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E SR RWD with 19-inch wheels consumes roughly a tenth more energy, including charging losses, than the AWD version, which is estimated at 102 MPGe or about 330 watt-hours per mile (3.0 miles/kWh).

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E ER RWD with 19-inch wheels consumes roughly 7% more energy, including charging losses, than the AWD version, which is estimated at 106 MPGe or about 318 watt-hours per mile (3.1 miles/kWh).

According to the EPA, both versions are noticeably more efficient than before. A difference of several percent is difficult to explain, considering only a slight increase in range of 10 miles. It might be related to more efficient charging.

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT ER RWD with 20-inch wheels’ energy consumption, including charging losses, is estimated at 90 MPGe or about 374 watt-hours per mile (2.7 miles/kWh).

Currently, the least efficient is the 2024 Ford Must. Mach-E Rally ER AWD with 19-inch wheels, rated at 86 MPGe: 392 Wh/mi or 2.6 miles/kWh.

The energy consumption numbers are noticeably better than in the previous model year, which is similar to the regular ER versions.

Let’s note that the highway MPGe ratings are noticeably lower than the combined values. We estimate the EPA Highway range might be roughly 5-20 miles lower. However, this is only a rough estimate because the MPGe number includes charging losses.

Basic specs

Interestingly, the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E is quicker than the 2023MY. The SR RWD version can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, compared to 6.3 seconds previously. The AWD version can do it in 4.6 seconds, versus 5.1 seconds previously.

In the case of the ER RWD and ER AWD versions, the 0-60 time is 5.2 seconds and 4.1 seconds, respectively. The 2023MY was rated at 6.1 and 4.8 seconds.

The performance-oriented GT version has a base 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds and 3.3 seconds with the Performance package, while the Rally version is rated at 3.4 seconds. Previously, the GT Performance version was rated at 3.5 seconds.

Pricing

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E starts at an MSRP of $39,995 plus a $1,895 destination charge. The top-of-the-line version cost more than $60,000.

One of the most interesting findings is that the 2024 model year has brought a new ER AWD configuration in the base Select trim. It starts at $48,890 (including DST) and offers 300 miles of EPA range. On the other hand, there is no more Route 1 trim.

The model has no federal tax credit when purchasing, although the incentive might be available when leasing.
