A Ford Mustang Mach-E has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest journey by an electric vehicle (EV) without stopping to charge.
Although Ford only claims a range of 373 miles from the Mach-E’s 91kWh battery, a British team drove the car 569.64 miles through the east of England on a single charge.
The feat — supported by the AA, Bridgestone and the tyre manufacturer’s in-house telematics company Webfleet — usurps the previous record of 563.97 miles, set in Hangzhou, China.
That record was set using a Chinese-built Zeekr in September 2023, and added to that carmaker’s selection of EV world records. The Zeekr 001 estate car holds the record for the fastest drift by an electric car, for example, as well as another record for the fastest slalom by an EV.
But while Zeekr’s record took place in China, the Mach-E’s drive was on public roads through Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire in a single 24-hour period. Overall, the team achieved economy of 6.25 miles per kilowatt-hour, far exceeding Ford’s published figures.
According to the industry-standard Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) economy test, through which production cars in Europe are homologated, the Mustang Mach-E Premium Extended Range RWD used in the record longest journey by an electric vehicle is capable of around four miles per kilowatt-hour.
