DRIVERS of Ford’s all electric Mustang Mach-E will not need to worry about variances in the predicted driving range.
A new Intelligent Range facility accurately predicts how much battery range drivers actually have. It does this using past driving behaviour, weather forecasts and crowdsourced data from other Mustang Mach-E vehicles.
Ford says it will take the anxiety out of the car’s stated range.
Darren Palmer, Ford global director for battery electric vehicles, commented:
Electric vehicle customers need to be able to trust their range estimates. People want to be confident they’re going to make it where they need to go, whether they’re on a road trip or coming home from work. Our new Intelligent Range feature helps ensure Mustang Mach-E owners around the globe know where they stand ahead of time, freeing them up to enjoy the ride.
Ford promises updates to the Intelligent Range service will be provided by over-the-air updates in future.
The electric Mustang has a range of 370 miles.
