Understanding Electric Vehicle Range

Range shows how far you may be able to travel on your current level of charge. A full charge is roughly comparable to a full tank in a conventional gas-powered vehicle.

Your Road Trip Partner

The Intelligent Range feature in our electric vehicles helps you answer questions like "When will I need to charge during my trip?" and "What will my estimated time of arrival be including charging stops?".

Example trip shown based on a 2024 Mustang Mach-E® Premium Extended Range with an EPA-estimated range of 320 miles based on full charge. Actual range varies with conditions such as external environment, vehicle use, vehicle maintenance, lithium-ion battery age and state of health.

Plan Your Charging

When you’re getting low, the in-vehicle Public Charging app helps you find public charging stations. Charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 40 minutes on a DC fast charger* – enough time to grab a meal and stretch your legs before getting back on the road.

Planning an Even Longer Trip? Let Us Help

If you need to travel beyond your one-charge range, the Intelligent Range feature helps you get there with confidence. It estimates how much range you have left as you drive, based on factors like traffic, ambient temperature, and driving speed.171 Use it to cover the maximum miles before plugging in at a public charging station along your route.

We Thought About Range So You Don’t Have To

  • Does Speed Affect EV Range?

     
    High speeds have a negative effect on an EV’s range, but heavy-footed acceleration affects it even more. Moderate acceleration helps get more from every charge.

  • Does Temperature Affect EV Range?

     
    Outside temperatures will have an impact on range. But, here's a trick for EV drivers: "precondition" the vehicle180 while plugged in. It uses your home's energy to pre-heat or pre-cool the vehicle's battery and can even heat or cool the interior cabin. Easily program your pre-conditioning times based on your schedule.

  • Can You Tow With an EV?

     
    With an F-150 Lightning, you bet. However, just like with a gas engine, towing will impact range because trailers naturally add weight and aerodynamic drag. So, plan ahead. Find public charging stations along your route, right from your touchscreen.
