The Mustang Mach-E delivers an EPA-estimated range of 250-320 miles per charge, depending on the configuration, and supports both home charging and DC Fast Charging. Using a DC Fast Charger, you can recharge from 15% to 80% in just 33 minutes. For driving enthusiasts, the Mach-E offers several driving modes: Whisper for a smooth and quiet ride, Engage for balanced daily driving, and Unbridle for a sportier, adrenaline-filled experience. Additional modes such as 1-Pedal Drive, Unbridle Extend, and RallySport further enhance performance for track use or light off-road conditions.
The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning, on the other hand, delivers power and utility in an electrified pickup format. Dual electric motors provide standard AWD and deliver 462 horsepower and a robust 775 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a 98-kWh battery, the Lightning offers a 230-mile range and a towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. For those who need more, the optional 131-kWh extended battery boosts output to 580 horsepower, extends the range to 320 miles, and increases towing capacity to 10,000 pounds. This larger battery is standard on higher trims like the Flash, Lariat, and Premium.
The F-150 Lightning also supports fast charging, allowing it to regain 30 miles of range per hour using the Ford Charge Station Pro at home. When connected to a DC Fast Charger, the Lightning can reach 80% charge in approximately 40 minutes.
Both the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning showcase Ford’s dedication to performance, efficiency, and innovative charging solutions in their EV lineup.
