With the impressive story of David Blenkle from Santa Cruz, California, the purely electric Ford Mustang Mach-e comes to prove once again not only its advanced potential but also its non-negotiable reliability and endurance.
It is a tangible proof of what is possible behind the wheel of a modern Ford EV, David has spent more than 400,000 km over three years with his Mustang Mach-e personal-distance equivalent to a trip to the moon and back-with the battery not showing signs of wear.
“The greatest misunderstanding of the world is related to the life of life and the battery’s autonomy – and then I just show my container!” David said.
David, who maintains a personal US-based transfer services company, opted for the Mustang Mach-E Premium based on the reliability, comfort it offers to all passengers and low operating costs. This option has now become the cornerstone of his business, with David offering free freight transport services to veterans and their families, to students who would otherwise lose their flight or even locals who want to move on the highway above the mountains.
David’s experience comes to confirm Ford’s official data, according to which Mustang Mach-e’s high-voltage battery is designed to withstand for at least 10 years with 90% of its maximum capacity at 160,000 km. Now, having “written” more than 405,000 km, the Mustang Mach-e battery still delivers great, offering 466 km autonomy with a full charge.
As David tells us, charging is mainly at home, with programming at hours when the cost of electricity is lower and the use of a Ford wall charger. However, when traveling needs are greater, a brief 15-20 minute stop on DC speedmaker is enough for the Mustang Mach-e to continue offering its services. At the same time, thanks to the mild driving style adopted by its driver, combined with the advanced regenerative braking system that helps to recover energy and reduces damage, the original brake brake pads remain in good condition.
David regularly carries out all car inspection and maintenance work at the Ford local delegation and, in addition to a few small “battle signs” after 405,000 km, the car continues to impress him with his performance. It is also noteworthy that David spends even 12 hours on the road many times, taking many kilometers on the highway. There, thanks to Ford’s advanced BlueCruise technology and the absence of noises and vibrations, these hours become even more enjoyable and … relaxed.
Matthew Gabrielli, Program Engineer, Mustang Mach-E, Ford, said: “My team and I have dedicated endless hours tasting, improving and pushing this electric SUV to its limits. We designed everything with the resistance and autonomy, and there is nothing that satisfies us more than seeing a vehicle used by our customers for so many kilometers. “
