Known issues

Low
Ford switched every standard-range Mach-E from NCM to LFP cells for model year 2023.5. Earlier standard-range cars (2021 to early 2023) carry a different NCM pack with 68 to 70 kWh usable and a 115 kW charging peak. The eighth VIN digit is 4 or 5 on LFP cars.
Low
Ford tells LFP owners to set the charge limit to 100% and to reach 100% at least once a month so the range estimate stays accurate.
Low
The LFP pack accepts up to 150 kW on a DC fast charger, and Ford quotes 10 to 80 percent in 33 minutes, five minutes quicker than the NCM standard-range pack it replaced.
Medium
NHTSA 26V-582 (September 2026) covers 86 Mach-E vehicles from 2023-2025 that received a new battery energy control module in an earlier repair. Its software may show the wrong state of charge or raise the risk of a battery fire after repeated DC fast charging. Dealers will update the software free of charge; Ford expects the remedy in December 2026.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 100k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.

26V582000 Sep 9, 2026 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:PROPULSION SYSTEM:TRACTION BATTERY:MANAGEMENT SYSTEM/ENERGY CONTROL MODULE (BMS/BECM):SOFTWARE

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Mustang Mache E vehicles that received a new Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) during a prior repair. The battery energy control module software may cause an incorrect state of charge to display in the vehicle, or lead to an increased risk of a high voltage battery fire after repeated DC Fast Charging cycles.

Consequence: An inaccurate state-of-charge reading can lead to an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of crash. Additionally, a high voltage battery fire increases the risk of injury.
