We don't know a lot about the Mach E's specs but according to Car and Driver, Ford is aiming for a 300 mile range, which they predict would require a 100.0-kWh battery, like in the Tesla Model S Long Range.

For me that would be plenty of range for my commute, but is that enough for everyone else?

Now that all its fuel-efficient passenger cars are exiting stage left, Ford needs to prove that it is still committed to greenery. And it's crucial that this new EV be desirable, hence the grafted-on Mustang heritage.

Ford has a plan to eventually migrate all global products onto five vehicle architectures. This crossover will use one of these: a dedicated EV platform designed from the outset to accommodate a battery pack. So far, all Ford has promised is a driving range of 300 miles on a charge, which will likely mean a 100.0-kWh battery, the size that's in a Tesla Model S Long Range. Two electric motors, one up front and one in the rear, should be on hand to provide all-wheel drive.

This new model will aim at currently available EVs such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Kia Niro EV, along with the upcoming Tesla Model Y crossover scheduled to go on sale next year.

It looks like Car and Driver got it right with the 300 mile range.

Yeah nicely done on their part. Hopefully their right about the Mach E having two electric motors as well!
