Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is limited by the capacity of the charger.
In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Cold temperatures and the vehicle's charging curve also dictate peak speed (i.e. a warm battery at a lower state-of-charge will charge quicker).
The Mach-E was produced from 2020 in standard-range and extended-range versions, with both FWD and RWD drive configurations. Ford NZ is set to sell the Mach-E from 2023.

2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD | Electric Car Review
"...add in that new group of people who hate that Ford has called this a Mustang, and both groups are missing the point; for me, after driving it almost 3,000km, the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is excellent."
"What I didn't expect was for the ride to be so refined, for the car to be so responsive - for it to be so playful ... it's a Mustang all grown-up that's what it is. I really like it much more than I thought I would."

I took a V8 owner on a road trip in a Ford Mustang Mach-e
"I still think it's a great car, a few little niggles that need to be sorted out. "

Putting the E in yEEhaw – Ford Mustang Mach-E GT review
"...I can happily say that the Mach-E is a one of a kind. It’s an SUV that can take itself seriously but on the whole chooses not to. It’s a maverick, a rebel and make no mistake, a Mustang. Viva le pony or long live the Mustang (whatever powers it)."
