These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai IONIQ 6 N like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 210 miles for the Ford Mustang Mach-E and 252 miles for the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 N goes roughly 42 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 32 minutes in the Ford Mustang Mach-E and 18 in the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N, so the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N loses less time at each stop. That makes the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N the stronger long-distance car.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the Ford Mustang Mach-E and 89% for the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. The Ford Mustang Mach-E's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Hyundai IONIQ 6 N's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use.
