350k Mile EV Silences Skeptics | Is This The Highest Mileage Mustang Mach-E in the World?
About this episode
How long does an EV battery really last? Dave's 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E has now surpassed an incredible 350,000 miles, making it one of the highest-mileage Mustang Mach-Es on the road today. In this episode of Turn Down for Watt, we revisit Dave to discuss EV battery degradation, battery health, charging habits, maintenance costs, reliability, and long-term electric vehicle ownership after hundreds of thousands of miles.
When Dave first joined the show, his 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium had already surpassed 250,000 miles, challenging everything many people thought they knew about EV battery life, electric vehicle reliability, and long-term ownership costs. Now, with another 100,000 miles added to the odometer, we wanted to check back in and see what has changed—and what hasn't.
Can a modern EV really go 350,000 miles on its original battery? How much range has been lost? What maintenance and repairs have been required? What has ownership actually cost compared to a gas vehicle? And what lessons can EV owners, fleet operators, and EV skeptics learn from one of the highest-mileage electric vehicles on the road today?
