POWER GAUGE - GT
The power gauge displays the amount ofpower going to the wheels whenaccelerating or maintaining speed. Whenthe system limits the available maximumpower, the right side of the gauge showsgray lines representing the proportionalreduction in available power. When slowingdown by lifting your foot off the acceleratorpedal or pressing the brake, the gaugedisplays the amount of power theregenerative system captures and returnsto the high voltage battery.
SPEEDOMETER
Indicates the vehicle speed.
VEHICLE RANGE DISPLAY
Displays the approximate range yourvehicle can travel on the battery's currentstate of charge. Estimates vary based onthe energy used when driving and theenergy available in the high voltage battery.
The amount of energy being used whendriving is affected by:
•Mild or aggressive acceleration orbraking.
•Your vehicle's speed.
•Use of accessories, such as climatecontrol.
•Ambient temperature and weatherconditions.
•Driving in a city or on a highway.
•Driving on flat or hilly roads.
•Towing.
The available energy capacity in the highvoltage battery is affected by coldtemperatures and battery degradation.See Preserving Your High VoltageBattery (page 166).
When your navigation system has an activeroute the distance to your destination ornext charging station is displayed.
Note:It is normal for the vehicle rangeestimates to vary due to changes in averageenergy usage and battery temperature. Thiscould cause different range estimates eachtime you fully charge your battery. SeeMaximizing Your Driving Range (page 302).
Note:When you leave your vehicleunplugged, it periodically uses energy fromthe high voltage battery to recharge the12-volt accessory battery, resulting in areduced driving range.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
GAUGE
Displays the high voltage battery state ofcharge in the form of a gauge or apercentage. A full fill or 100% chargerepresents the total amount of energy youcan get from plugging your vehicle in.
The gauge is normally blue. When a lowbattery condition is reached the gauge isamber. When the battery is depleted thegauge is red.
When the full battery gauge is displayedand your navigation system has an activeroute, a symbol is added that representsthe battery charge level needed to reachyour destination or next charging station.
Charging Status
Additional charge information displayswhen you power on your vehicle withoutpressing the brake pedal and your vehicleis plugged in. Charging status includes thecharge start or charge end time asappropriate. When DC charging, the time

at 80% displays followed by the time at100%. You can modify your vehicle chargesettings on the information andentertainment display. See Setting theCharging Schedule and Preferences(page 184).
Charge Required to Reach Destination
When the navigation system has an activeroute, the instrument cluster displays thecharge level required in order to reach yourdestination and the time when that chargelevel is available.

WHAT IS THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
The high voltage battery is a highlysophisticated lithium ion battery system,used to store electrified energy to poweryour vehicle.
HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: This battery packshould only be serviced by an authorizedelectric vehicle technician. Improperhandling can result in personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Keep your hands andclothing clear of the cooling fan.
Your vehicle consists of varioushigh-voltage components and wiring. Allof the high-voltage power flows throughspecific wiring assemblies labeled as suchor covered with a solid orange convolute,or orange striped tape, or both. Do notcome in contact with these components.
PRESERVING YOUR HIGH
VOLTAGE BATTERY
When using the battery at a low state ofcharge, your vehicle could start disablingaccessory features to protect battery life.
If your vehicle reaches a 0% state ofcharge, recharge your vehicle as soon aspossible.
In everyday use it is acceptable to use thefull state of charge window, however thereare a few best practices we recommendin order to maintain the health and life ofyour battery.
Overnight Charging
You can increase the longevity andperformance of your high voltage batteryby using the charge scheduling anddeparture and comfort settings on yourtouchscreen or in the FordPass app.
With Charge Scheduling you can improvethe high voltage battery's longevity bydelaying the start of charging and settinga maximum charging limit. It isrecommended to set your preferredcharging times to be at least 2-3 hoursafter your typical plug in time. This allowsthe battery to cool before charging begins.Additionally, setting the maximum chargelevel to 90% for everyday usage reducesstrain on the battery.
You can improve driving range andperformance by scheduling departuretimes and cabin comfort level with theDeparture and Comfort feature. This willnot only warm or cool the cabin but alsocondition the battery to ensure best drivingrange and performance by the setdeparture time.
DC Charging
Frequent use of DC charging could resultin reducing your battery's efficiency andlifespan. This is more pronounced on thestandard range battery pack versus theextended range battery pack. See Whatis DC Charging (page 168).
Storage Temperature
Storing your vehicle in temperaturesbetween 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C) isthe most beneficial for the high voltagebattery.
At temperatures just above the freezingpoint or lower, you should plug your vehiclein to maintain battery performance andmaximize driving range.
166
2023 Mustang Mach-E (CGW) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202209, DOMHigh Voltage Battery

Storage State of Charge
You can increase the battery life bymaintaining the state of charge below100%. When you park your vehicle for anextended period of 30 days or more, werecommend the battery state of charge beat approximately 50%. Storing yourvehicle's high voltage battery at higherstates of charge is less favorable thanstoring at lower states of charge.
Note:To achieve this state of charge forstorage, you can drive your vehicle down to50% and set a charge limit for your location.See Setting the Charging Schedule andPreferences (page 184).
RECYCLING AND DISPOSING
OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE
BATTERY
Please recycle in accordance with localregulations.

WHAT IS AC CHARGING
Charging Basics
AC charging is the preferred method ofcharging. AC charging preserves the healthof the high voltage battery for longer highvoltage battery life.
WHAT IS DC CHARGING
DC charging allows you to charge thevehicle's high voltage battery insignificantly less time than the standardcharge method. You can charge on the gobefore the battery has exhausted all of itspower, or when traveling using the tripplanner as part of your FordPass App.
For the convenience of DC charging andtime, there is a different fee structuredepending on the charging station andnetwork you choose.
Note:Charge times could vary dependingon ambient air temperature, power level,charger type, and location in which you arecharging.
Note:The DC charging rate could bereduced to maximize the life of the battery.
