2024 Ford Mustang Mach E updated in the US, gains range & faster recharging

Ford has also rejigged the model range Stateside and has dropped the flagship GT Performance model in favour of bundling it into a Performance Upgrade package.

The off-road focused Mach E Rally, which sports a large rear wing, a raised ride height and aero wheels, has also officially joined the US range after it was unveiled late last year. US pricing for the Mach E Rally has been confirmed at US $61,890.

Further upgrades for the MY24 Mach E include subtle improvements to the menu structure and ergonomics of the large 15.5-inch centre touchscreen as well as additional equipment for certain trim levels. Read on for all the details.

The biggest upgrade for the 2024 Mustang Mach E is a new rear electric motor which Ford says was “developed in-house by Ford engineers”. Available across the range, the new e-motor is lighter than the unit it replaces and delivers “improved torque”, according to Ford.

The new motor also brings an uptick in range, with the cheapest rear-drive Select model now capable of 250 miles (402km) of range on the EPA cycle. The mid-spec Premium trim level, which uses the larger extended-range battery, also gains a boost in range to 320 miles (515km).

If those range estimates look lower than the ones quoted in Australia it’s because they’re based on the US-focused EPA cycle. Aussie ranges typically use euro WLTP figures, which are around 22 per cent higher.

The flagship GT trim also boasts more range, although it only gains a 10 mile (16km) boost.

Improved DC charging times are also part of the 2024 upgrade, with Ford claiming wait times have been slashed by up to 20 per cent. Models with the bigger extended range battery can now achieve a 10-80 percent charge in 36.2 minutes, which is almost a nine minute improvement. Cars with the standard battery will complete a 10-80 percent charge in just over 32 minutes, a saving of close to six minutes.

As previously announced, Mach E owners can now make use of the extensive Tesla Supercharger network to recharge their cars. Ford has also added new features via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to help drivers find more efficient routes and locate public chargers.
