How much does it cost to charge a Ford Mustang Mach-E at home?

Charging cost by tariff

Costs include the ~12% energy lost during AC charging, so they reflect what your meter records. Off-peak rates assume all charging happens inside the cheap window — how much of your charging has to land in it decides whether an EV tariff pays. Rates vary by region. These are comparisons of published rates, not tariff recommendations.

Why the 20-80% figure describes this car better than a full charge

The Ford Mustang Mach-E holds 88 kWh — the largest here bar the Kia EV9 — which puts a full charge at £26.11, a bill only one other car here beats. On a 7 kW wallbox that charge runs to 12 hr 34 min, longer than a single overnight period, so empty-to-full is a specification rather than a routine.

The 20-80% window is the useful number here: £15.67 and 7 hr 33 min on the same wallbox. Even that is the best part of a night. At 4.2 mi/kWh the car costs 7.1p a mile, or £706.44 across 10,000 miles, which is the figure to weigh against the range the big pack buys.

Charging time by charger type

Most owners choose between a 7 kW wallbox and the socket they already have. A three-pin plug costs nothing to install but charges at about 2.3 kW, which is the difference between an overnight top-up and a two-day one on this car’s 88kWh pack. Charging away from home is a different calculation again — public rapid rates run several times higher.

Times are simple energy-needed ÷ power estimates. Real sessions can run a little longer, because charging slows as the battery approaches full.

What affects these numbers for the Ford Mustang Mach-E

• This car charges at up to 11 kW on AC

  The Ford Mustang Mach-E's onboard charger accepts at most 11 kW from an AC connection. A 22 kW three-phase cannot charge it any faster than that, so there is no benefit in paying for a more powerful home charger than the car can use.

• A three-pin plug is a backup, not a plan

  From a standard three-pin socket (2.3 kW), an empty-to-full charge of the 88 kWh battery takes about 38 hr 16 min. Fine for overnight top-ups, but impractical as your only way to charge.

• Typical EV efficiency

  4.2 miles per kWh is in the normal range for a modern EV, so the Ford Mustang Mach-E's running cost per mile mostly depends on your electricity rate.

• Real-world figures vary

  The 372-mile range is the official WLTP lab figure. Cold weather and motorway speeds reduce real-world efficiency, which raises cost per mile and lowers range. Treat these numbers as good estimates, not promises.

• The 150 kW DC figure is not for home charging

  DC rapid charging at up to 150 kW only happens at public rapid chargers. All home charging is AC, so it is the 11 kW AC limit that matters for the times on this page.
