– The accomplishment signifies a milestone in dispelling range anxiety and promoting electric vehicle adoption.

Great Britain Sees Record-Setting Mustang Mach-E Drive

A groundbreaking feat was achieved in Great Britain as Webfleet, a fleet management company under Bridgestone, orchestrated a record-setting drive. The electric Mustang Mach-E, equipped with a tamper-proof charging port, embarked on a 24-hour journey across the Northern U.K., covering diverse terrains such as city roads, highways, and countryside landscapes. This real-world test served as a testament to the Mach-E’s capabilities under various conditions.

Record-breaking Range and Impressive Testing Conditions

During a real-world test performed by experienced drivers, the Mustang Mach-E not only exceeded its 372-mile WLTP range but also covered a remarkable distance of well over 500 miles. It’s important to note that the test was conducted with great care, under what seemed to be perfect weather conditions, which undoubtedly influenced the exceptional performance.

Performance and Evaluation Details

The Ford Mustang Mach-E used to break this record came with a 91-kilowatt-hour battery. Webfleet specifically chose the extended-range rear-wheel-drive Mach-E equipped with 18-inch wheels to optimize its range. The vehicle was also equipped with Bridgestone tires designed for low rolling resistance. Webfleet meticulously verified the driving data using multiple methods, including video footage, odometer readings, GPS, and battery level data to ensure its accuracy and integrity.

Overcoming Range Anxiety and Embracing Future Opportunities

Even though the accomplishment is remarkable, it’s important to acknowledge that the average daily driving distance in the U.S. is only 42 miles. This indicates that most daily driving needs can be adequately met by current electric vehicle (EV) ranges. With 64 percent of Americans residing within two miles of a public charging station and 95 percent having access to at least one public charger in their county, the charging infrastructure continues to expand. These factors, along with advancements in battery technology, offer promising opportunities for the future of electric vehicles.

Exploring the Path to Widespread Electric Vehicle Acceptance

The remarkable feat not only demonstrates the remarkable capabilities of the Ford Mustang Mach-E but also proves the potential of electric vehicles to address range concerns and become practical choices for daily transportation. With ongoing advancements in battery technology and the expanding charging infrastructure, there is optimism that achieving an exceptional range of 570 miles on a single charge will be not only feasible for record-setting endeavors but also for everyday drivers.

Breaking a New Guinness World Record
