After more than 250,000 miles, Ford Mustang Mach-E still has 92% battery life

Still on the original brake pads!? Impressive.

I just serviced the brakes (lubricated the slide pins and replaced a few clips) on my Tesla Model 3 brakes that have 100,000 miles - the pads still measure 9.8 out of 10MM thickness. I fully expect them to last the life of the vehicle unless there is some sort of calendar age related condition or corrosion that develops.

With 1 pedal driving and infrequent towing usage, I don’t see why the Lightning/Mach-E brakes wont last the lifetime of the vehicle as well.

Love your optimism!

Not just 1pd, lightning uses blended braking so those of us who prefer 2pd get the same benefit. I don't think I'll be able to drive an EV that doesn't have it. I really didn't like 1pd.

For what it’s worth I don’t think the battery will ever be the problem. I have a 2022 lariat extended range with 149,000+ kms now. The battery is at 98%. Now the interesting part is about 130,000 kms at least the truck has pulled a 8000lb trailer for my company. It has been fast charged to 85/90% on the road and then when I get home has been charged to 100% its whole life. I have driving it to under 5% to get home and on 2 cases dead on road. Oops. One thing I have noticed and it’s just my opinion but I have noticed the battery tick down to 99% for example. Then after a full home charge running at 64amps when done the next day, voila, battery state jumps back to 99.5%. I have seen this 50/60 times as I have moved down to 98% now. I think the full top up maybe balance the cells or something. I believe the truck will die before the battery ever does

the truck is a beast, pulls like a diesel, heavy like a diesel, and I have saved so much money on fuel it’s crazy. Highly disappointed they went to a single 48amp charger. Which means I can’t get another ford because the truck would t be charged for next day next trip.

I did go to ford a year ago to get a price on a new 2025 one. Was at 95,000 km area and thought about warranty running out. But the trade in value was just crazy. The truck is worth way more to me than the offer. So I elected I will drive it into the ground. I had to replace the brakes at 95,000. Beside the brakes and recalls this truck has never seen a service bay for anything wrong. I have never owned a vehicle that would go 150k without service. Maybe I have a good one, and why let it go.

just wanted to let you guys know the battery is solid for me as well.

I hate 2 pedal driving so much easier to 1 pedal drive. been 1 pedal driving since BMW I3 rex was released and I bought one for my wife to go to work, about 3 miles to airport from our house and free charging in her parking lot. always forget to brake when driving my 911.
