Ford says its EV batteries retain over 90% health after 100,000 miles
Ford says its electric vehicle batteries retain over 90% health on average after 100,000 miles.
The finding is based on data from more than 36,000 Ford vehicles that have driven two billion miles in the US and Canada.
The data includes the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lightning and E-Transit, and Ford says 95% of the vehicles fall between 87% and 97% battery health.
More than 2,000 owners of 2021 model-year EVs have passed 100,000 miles with their original battery, averaging better than 91% health.
The figures offer a real-world view of how batteries hold up with use, though they describe Ford vehicles and do not guarantee the same results for every car.
Ford recommends home charging for everyday use where possible, saving fast charging for longer trips, and avoiding extreme temperatures when practical.
Ford has added vehicle-specific battery guidance to its app and says it will use the data to improve its EVs as it develops its next-generation models.
