Ford increases Mustang Mach-E battery size for 2022

Ford's all-electric Mustang Mach E has been mildly revised for 2022, as prospective buyers get extra range thanks to expanded battery packs.

Available with either a standard or extended range battery, both have been given a slightly larger capacity, with the smaller pack now capable of 70kWh (up from 68kWh) while the larger unit increases to 91kWh from 88kWh.

Ford didn't provide any specifics about how much the larger battery packs would affect the Mustang Mach-E's driving range, given the all-electric crossover is available with a choice of two batteries across two motor choices, although it's expected to increase the usable range by roughly 10 kilometres.

The 2022 updates extend beyond changes under the skin as the new Ice White Appearance Package has been introduced for Premium variants, adding 19-inch aluminium wheels with Oxford white-painted pockets, star white mirror caps, star white metallic tri-coat paint, Oxford white front door badging, and Oxford white pony badges.

These exterior changes are reflected in the cabin, with the interior also benefitting from the whitewash, including gloss white leather covering the dashboard, seats, door cards, armrests and the steering wheel emblem.

Ford's Mustang Mach-E is available in the United States in four main variants – the base grade, California Route 1, Premium and GT – with prices ranging from US$43,895 (AU$61,500) to US$61,995 (AU$86,750) before on-road costs and tax credits.

The Australian arm of the Blue Oval has previously announced it will be introducing five electrified models to the local market by 2025, with the first two confirmed to be the E-Transit and Escape plug-in hybrid.

Rumours suggest the new Ranger and Everest are set to take up two of the remaining spots but there has been no confirmation on the fifth vehicle, although Wheels understands both the Mustang Mach-E and new F-150 Lightning could be on the table – the former being the more likely option given its availability in other right-hand drive markets.
