Regarding more power, what I don't understand is how the 0-60 times are identical for the SR AWD (255 HP) and ER AWD (332 HP). How can that be if the ER has 77 HP more?Plus the Cmax Energi has a 140 kw motor in it. The Mach-e has a 210 kw motor (more if you get the AWD). More power drain.
That is odd. Although Ford's configuration page says "Targeting 0-60 in the mid five second range" (based on computer simulations), so it's kinda vague. The extra weight (around 300 lbs) for the additional ER batteries probably offsets some of the power gains but surely not all of it. "Mid-five" could end up being 5.3 for the ER and 5.7 for the SR. They left themselves wiggle room.Regarding more power, what I don't understand is how the 0-60 times are identical for the SR AWD (255 HP) and ER AWD (332 HP).

I really do hope they quicken the acceleration times. A Tesla Model Y AWD has an "out of the box" time of 4.8s and if you factor in another half-second gain with their $2000 acceleration boost, they're down to 4.3s 0-60. That kicks the crap out of any non-GT Mach-E."Mid-five" could end up being 5.3 for the ER and 5.7 for the SR. They left themselves wiggle room.
