Can You Upgrade the Battery of a Mustang Mach-E?

The Ford Mustang Mach-E has quickly become a favorite among EV enthusiasts, but one question often arises: Can you upgrade the battery of a Mustang Mach-E? Let’s go over this topic, keeping it simple and straightforward, while addressing your common questions.

Understanding the Mustang Mach-E Battery

The Mustang Mach-E comes with high-performance lithium-ion batteries designed to deliver impressive range and power. Depending on the trim level, you can choose between the Standard Range (70 kWh) and Extended Range (91 kWh) options. But what if you want to upgrade after purchase?

Is Battery Upgrading Possible?

Technically, upgrading a Mustang Mach-E battery isn’t a straightforward process, and here’s why:

• Design Constraints: The battery pack is integrated into the car’s structure, making swaps or upgrades complex.
• Software Integration: The Mach-E’s software is finely tuned for the specific battery type and capacity installed at the factory.
• Warranty Concerns: Upgrading or altering the battery may void your vehicle’s warranty.

If you’re set on improving your vehicle’s performance or range, consider these alternatives.

Options for Maximizing Battery Performance

1. Optimize Your Current Battery

• Keep Your Battery Cool: Park in shaded areas or garages during hot weather.
• Charge Strategically: Avoid overcharging (staying between 20%-80% is ideal for long-term health).
• Software Updates: Ensure your vehicle’s software is up-to-date to benefit from Ford’s latest efficiency improvements.

2. Trade Up to a Higher Trim

If you’re looking for a larger battery, upgrading to a higher trim level or newer model might be the most practical solution. At Corwin Ford Reno, we can help you explore options in our New Inventory or Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles.

3. Aftermarket Solutions

While not officially supported by Ford, some aftermarket providers specialize in EV modifications. Proceed with caution here, as these can void your warranty and might not be cost-effective.
