Ford Motor Company announced in May this year that it will launch a Mustang Mach-E car with a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery version, equipped with a 72 kWh battery, and a rear-drive RWD version with a cruising range of 250 miles (about 402.34 kilometres); the AWD version of the full-drive AWD version has a battery life of 226 miles (about 363.71 kilometres).
Ford’s range-extended (ER) battery version of the Mustang Mach-E uses a 91 kWh nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) battery. Ford said that using lower-cost lithium iron phosphate batteries will allow Ford to improve the Mustang faster. Mach-E and F-150 Lightning production.
The rear-drive version of the Mustang Mach-E with lithium iron phosphate batteries recently appeared in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As Ford Motor Company previously promised, the EPA has a comprehensive cruising range of 250 miles, which is 3 miles more than the standard version of the NCM power battery.

- Mach-E SR LFP RWD 18-in: 101 MPGe: 334 Wh/mi (207 Wh/km)
- Mach-E SR NCM RWD 18-inch: 103 MPGe: 327 Wh/mi (203 Wh/km)
