The updated Ford Mustang Mach-E gets a higher usable battery capacity and the range bonus that comes with that for the model year 2022. Other updates include new colors and more standard equipment.
Ford’s fairly successful electric crossover, the Mustang Mach-E, is heading for its second year on the market with minor updates to make it more dangerous to its rivals, the VW ID.4, Tesla Model Y, and the like. The key changes include more standard features as well as more usable battery across the board in an attempt to make the recent price increase more palatable.
The biggest change for the 2022 model year seems to be the new white-on-white styling pack that was announced back in August as the Ice White Edition Appearance Package. As we already know, this pack will only be available on the Premium grade.
This doesn’t mean the customers who opt for other Mustang Mach-E versions will not benefit from the update. In the case of California Route 1 grade, we have the optional all-wheel-drive system, as well as the standard heated front seats and steering wheel. In the meantime, the Mustang Mach-E GT and GT Performance will only get a black painted roof as standard. Besides, the Grabber Blue Metallic and Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat are now available on all models, while the Iced Blue Silver Metallic paint is new to the 2022 model year.
More important to Ford customers are the battery upgrades. It appears the Mustang Mach-E with Standard Range has 70 kWh of usable energy now (up from 68 kWh) while the Extended Range versions have 91 kWh usable energy (up from 88 kWh). Although Ford doesn’t say it, the new battery capacities go along with some efficiency improvements, as the new estimates for EPA-range go beyond the 3% increase in energy content.
