Ford claims the Mustang Mach-E can add 61 miles of range in 10 minutes.

And this capability is not limited to luxury brand EVs. One example is the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E, which Ford announced Friday can add 61 miles of range in just 10 minutes. That's at the 150-kilowatt charging rate available at Electrify America's DC fast charging stations, for example.

This pace is comparable to what similarly sized battery-electric SUVs like the Audi E-Tron and Jaguar I-Pace offer, but Tesla's latest V3 Supercharger, the company claims, can deliver 75 miles in five minutes in a Model 3 by charging at 250kw

The 61-mile figure applies to the Mustang Mach E, which is rear-wheel drive and powered by a large 98.7-kilowatt-hour extended-range battery. An all-wheel drive model with the same battery would have an additional 52 miles of range on a fast 10-minute charge.

If more range is needed, it takes 45 minutes for an 80 percent charge using a fast charger, regardless of whether the vehicle is rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

With a standard range battery of 75.7 kwh, a 10-minute fast charge will get the vehicle 46 miles in rear-wheel drive and 42 miles in all-wheel drive. In both cases, the smaller battery takes 38 minutes less to charge to 80%.

The EPA-rated range of the Mustang Mach E has not been announced, but is expected to range from 210 to 300 miles, depending on the model.

One of the biggest barriers to entry for electric vehicle buyers in the US is the frankly overwhelming lack of EV charging networks in the US. Ford has gotten ahead of this problem with its FordPass charging network, which integrates several existing networks and allows Ford owners to choose from 13,500 stations.

Pricing for the Mustang Mach E starts at $44,995 including destination, with first deliveries scheduled for later this year. Ford also announced last week that the vehicle will have built-in wireless update capability.
