When you think about electric vehicles (EVs), you might not immediately think “Ford Mustang.” However, the Ford Mustang Mach-E has won Car and Driver’s 2021 EV of the Year, and we’re here for it! Dripping with style and with roots in American muscle, we love that the future of EV is being rallied in by this stylish and powerful model.
Ford is injecting some oomph into the EV market with their Mustang Mach-E, and Car and Driver notes that “if an automaker wanted to convert people from EV skeptics to EV evangelists, it’s hard to imagine a better vehicle for the job than the Ford Mustang Mach-E.” In their article naming the vehicle their pick, the publication reviews a variety of reasons why the Mach-E is standing out above what is becoming a crowded EV market. Here are a few of the reasons highlighted in Car and Driver’s article:
The Mach-E gets an EPA average of 270 miles on a full charge, and with more and more charging stations being installed across the nation through Electrify America, it’s become less of a hassle to find charging spots.
Cranking out 346 horsepower and able to hit 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, drivers who love the get up and go of a gas engine won’t miss the power they expect from a vehicle like this in the EV version. The acceleration is there, and drivers won’t feel a delay when they put the pedal to the metal.
Great steering and more evenly distributed weight, the Mach-E is “surprisingly neutral if you push the speed in corners, and quick steering places the Mach-E exactly where you want it… the body stays flat and passengers remain upright as the car swings around bends,” which will make for a fantastic ride on our SoCal streets.
Fresh exterior and interior design will make drivers proud to own this EV. A few nods to the Tesla can be found, specifically in the panoramic fixed-glass roof, door handles and center display. However, Ford has put their own spin on the design as well, and the exterior lines don’t disappoint.
The Mach-E comes with all the tech upgrades you’d want in a new vehicle. A couple that Car and Driver called out are the oversized, 15.5-inch touchscreen display and the simple instrument panel. They liked the interface and that the buttons were big enough to see and touch and that everything seemed to be laid out logically with a low learning curve for use.
There’s a lot to like about the Ford Mach-E Mustang, and it’s clear from Car and Driver’s piece that they like it too. Not only does the car look fun to drive—it actually is fun to drive! Lovers of gas engines will find there’s plenty of zip here, and the Mach-E is bringing in a new era of EVs with pizzaz.
