What Is the Ford Mustang Mach-E Charging Calculator?
The Ford Mustang Mach-E Charging Calculator is a tool designed to estimate charging times and costs based on battery capacity, charge levels, charging power, and environmental factors. Given the Mustang Mach-E’s various battery configurations and charging capabilities, this calculator helps owners efficiently plan their charging sessions to maximize convenience and cost-effectiveness.
By using this calculator, Mach-E drivers can manage their vehicle’s energy consumption, minimize costs, and extend battery longevity with optimal charging strategies.
How to Use the Ford Mustang Mach-E Charging Calculator
To determine your estimated charging time and cost, enter the following details:
1. Battery Capacity (kWh)
- Select the Mustang Mach-E battery variant:
- Standard Range: 70 kWh (usable capacity: ~68 kWh)
- Extended Range: 88 kWh (usable capacity: ~91 kWh)
- The Extended Range battery provides a longer driving range but requires more charging time.
2. Current Charge Level (%)
- Enter the battery’s current charge percentage.
- Example: If the charge is at 20%, enter 20.
3. Desired Charge Level (%)
- Enter the target charge level.
- Example: If charging from 20% to 90%, enter 90.
4. Charging Power (kW)
- Enter the charger power output:
- Level 1 Charger (120V Home Outlet): 1.5-3 kW
- Level 2 Charger (240V Home Station): 7-11 kW
- DC Fast Charger (Public Stations): 50-150 kW
- The Mustang Mach-E supports DC fast charging, which significantly reduces charging time.
5. Temperature Condition
- Choose Normal, Cold, or Hot.
- Cold temperatures slow charging due to battery thermal regulation.
Additional Optional Settings
6. Battery Health (%)
- 100% represents a new battery.
- Over time, battery degradation may slightly reduce charging efficiency.
7. Electricity Cost ($/kWh)
- Enter your electricity rate per kWh.
- Helps estimate the total charging cost.
8. Time-of-Use Rate ($/kWh)
- If your utility provider offers off-peak electricity rates, enter the lower price.
- Charging during off-peak hours can significantly lower costs.
9. Battery Preconditioning
- If enabled, preconditioning warms up the battery before charging, improving efficiency in cold weather.
Once all values are entered, click Calculate to get your estimated charging time and cost.
How Charging Time Is Calculated
The calculator estimates charging time using the following formula:
Charging Time Formula:
\[ \text{Charging Time} = \frac{\text{Battery Capacity} \times (\text{Desired Charge Level} – \text{Current Charge Level})}{\text{Charging Power} \times \text{Charging Efficiency}} \]Where:
- Battery Capacity = 70 kWh (Standard Range) or 88 kWh (Extended Range)
- Desired and Current Charge Levels = Expressed as percentages
- Charging Power = Charger output in kW
- Charging Efficiency = Estimated power loss (~90%-95%)
Example Calculation:
- Battery Capacity: 88 kWh (Extended Range model)
- Current Charge Level: 10%
- Desired Charge Level: 90%
- Charging Power: 50 kW (DC Fast Charger)
- Charging Efficiency: 90%
Thus, it would take approximately 1 hour and 34 minutes to charge a Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range from 10% to 90% using a 50 kW DC fast charger.
