If you own a Mustang Mach-E or any EV, this story will get your attention. If your range doesn’t seem normal, then take it to the dealer to get the battery health checked before you are left stranded in the middle of a busy highway. A Mach-E owner who stopped at Tesla to charge says the incident happened just weeks later, and it left him stranded in traffic with his family in the car.

"If your range doesn’t seem normal, then take it to the dealer to get the battery health checked before you are left stranded in the middle of a busy highway. I had noticed this past summer that my Mach E’s range seemed to be lower than it typically is, but I associated it with the normal Guess-o-meter behavior and maybe me having a lead foot. We take a trip up to the Smokies every couple of months, as we live under 3 hours away and consider it our 2nd home.
Usually, if the temps are above 65 degrees, we can make the trip there without having to stop and charge, but this past year, we were having to stop once or twice to make the trip. Still, didnt think much of it until late October’s trip home. We stopped on our way back to charge at a Tesla station, and I was caught off guard by the fact that charging to 80% from 20% only added 40 miles of range. Temps were in the low 80’s, little to no wind. We almost had to stop again, but made it home at 5% charge. Then the incident happened.
