Ford’s newest all-electric car, the Mustang Mach-E, has become a triple Guinness World Records holder after adding two charging titles to the ultra-efficiency record already won this summer.

Guinness World Records confirmed 43 minutes, 13 seconds as the shortest charge time on Britain’s longest journey, wiping over 30 minutes from the previous attempt. 

Fast charging the rear-wheel-drive extended range Mustang Mach-E, which set the record, at 150kW adds around 73 miles (117km) of driving range every 10 minutes on a charge.

The team only stopped at MFG’s charging hub in Wigan, in North West England, for the single charge last month, meaning the fewest charge stop record will be permanently held by Ford Mustang Mach-E. 

The records were: Lowest energy consumption driving from John O'Groats to Land's End in an electric car – over 6.5 miles/kWh (a previous record 1.8 miles/kWh).

Shortest charging time from John O'Groats to Land's End in an electric vehicle – 43 min 13 sec (previous 75-minute record by Tesla).

Fewest charge stops from John O'Groats to Land's End in an electric vehicle (cannot be challenged, minimum stops achieved).
