Ford Mustang Mach-E Electric SUV

Drawing on the iconic heritage of the Mustang, Ford introduced its first all-electric member of the Mustang family with the 2021 Mach-E electric SUV. The 2021 model combined the outstanding performance of a traditional Mustang with the power of both standards and extended range battery options.

With the standard range option, drivers can rely on a 68 kWh battery and a dynamic electric motor capable of 266 horsepower of performance output. To maximize performance, buyers can opt for the extended range 88 kWh battery, which offers 480 horsepower and up to 630 feet of torque.

Along with enhanced performance options, the Ford Mustang Mach-E offers the potential for various range outputs. Buyers can choose from multiple batteries and drivetrains, depending on their unique needs. For example, the standard range battery with rear-wheel drive can drive for 230 miles before recharging, while the extended range rear-wheel drive option extends the range to 300 miles. After Tesla, the Mach-E was the first electric car to earn the designation of 300 miles of EPA-rated range.

The Mustang Mach-E provides fast charging capabilities. The standard range 68 kWh battery needs just 38 minutes to charge from ten percent to 80 percent, and the extended range 88 kWh needs just 45 minutes to increase its charge by 70 percent.

Technically classified as a crossover, the Mustang Mach-E has a five-passenger cabin with numerous amenities, including a 1.5-inch touchscreen, an entertainment system, and creative cargo and storage solutions. Exterior features include a power liftgate, windshield wiper de-icer, and high-performance tire options.

In its first year of production, the car earned the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™ award for Best Utility Vehicle and Car and Driver Magazine’s inaugural Electrical Vehicle of the Year. Additionally, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recognized the car’s signature lighting and auto high-beam headlamps, naming the Mach-E the IIHS Top Safety Pick among 2021 models.

Following the 2021 model, Ford implemented several key enhancements for the 2022 Mustang Mach-E. Instead of a full refresh, the company announced that it would add continual incremental updates to the model. Many of the changes will aim to improve efficiency and lower the cost of production, perhaps contributing to a lower price. This follows the model of Tesla, which implements running changes rather than saving improvements for full redesigns.

The 2022 Mustang Mach-E offers a slight increase in usable battery capacity. Compared to 305 miles for the 2021 model, the 2002 model has achieved a range of 314 miles. Different models also include specific changes. For example, a black-painted roof is standard on the 2022 GT model, as are heated front seats and steering wheel for the California 1 model. A special all-white edition is available at the Premium trim level, with the Cyber Orange and Grabber Blue paint options expanded beyond just the GT model.

By 2023, Ford plans to triple Mach-E production. Encouraged by the success of its first all-electric vehicle, the company has also announced plans to develop a full-size electric truck, which will offer high volume capability on an entirely new platform.
