It was last year when we got to see the Ford Mustang Mach-E for the very first time and the American carmaker also announced that it will offer special services for its customers in a bid to deal with the issue of range anxiety. Now Ford has shared that Mustang Mach-E owners will get 250 kWh of complimentary recharging through the Electrify America Network. This is estimated to give the Mach-E five full electric charges depending on the battery it is equipped with.
