Do you ever look at the original Ford Mustang and find yourself wishing it had a little more — maybe a little spark? Well good news, engineers in the UK have heard your prayers and fixed the Mustang by giving it electric power. And, I love everything about it.
This magical new creation comes from a small engineering firm called Charge Cars. It seems like the firm has seen your bloated Mustang Mach-E and decided we all need this absolute stunner instead.
Called the Electric Mustang by Charge Cars, the new EV uses an “official licensed” shell that the firm claims preserves the “classic design and styling of the legendary Ford Mustang.”
As a result, it looks fantastic. The show car that Charge has debuted pairs the classic Mustang lines, which have been finished in a gorgeous piano black, with matte 14-spoke rims. At the rear, the car retains the Mustang’s trio of tail lights, while LEDs add a modern twist to the front end.
As well as all of this restomod loveliness, Charge Cars has fitted a 64 kWh battery pack and all-wheel-drive. This means the new electric Mustang has a range of 200 miles and will do zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds thanks to its 400kW of peak power.

So far, we’ve got stunning 60s styling paired with futuristic performance in the Electric Mustang by Charge Cars. But that’s not all, the firm has also gutted the interior and filled it with all the trimmings you’d expect from a modern EV.
As well as “bespoke” leather seating and interior trim, the new Mustang also features a large screen in place of the center console. Instead of a cluster of gauges, Charge Cars has also added a second screen that shows your speed, range and state of charge.
It looks like such a beautiful place to be. Honestly, I love everything about this car.
Sadly, the cost of all this loveliness doesn’t come cheap. Charge Cars puts a starting price of £350,000 on the new EV, which is $460,000 over here. Plus there will no doubt be extra costs for whatever options you’d like to pile onto your gorgeous new Mustang.
Replacing the gas-powered running gear of old cars is not new and is something I’d gladly advocate for if it encourages more classics out onto the road.
. But, the Electric Mustang by Charge Cars seems like a new interpretation of the formula. And it’s one that I am wholeheartedly standing behind.
“Kinda misleading.”
Nope
“Actually I haven’t but that is hilarious! One EV charger for how many potential EV’s?”
Ask your mommy to count for you!
” You greenies are all the same.”
From the book of Alinsky rules ...
hmmm. You state that apt dwellers have to put up with off-site servicres to enjoy boating.
Apts are putting in on-site services to charge EV’s.
Thank you.
Sorry dude but snarkism isn't doing anything for your failed arguments.......Which by the way you've never answered any of my questions.
Is it because you have no answers or because you have no answers?......LOL!
EV will fail just as your lack of arguments are doing............
“Ford couldn’t have, or wouldn’t have, launched the Model T until he was certain the infrastructure could support it.”
There was no infrastructure to support 283 million cars.
“Sorry dude but snarkism isn’t doing anything for your failed arguments..”
My arguments don’t work on one that can’t count to 2.
What are you talking about? Your point is?
There weren't 283 million people in America when the Model T was first offered nor when it ceased to be offered. If every man, woman, child, and pet beagle back then bought one, it still wouldn't have come close to 283 million cars.
I'm getting a queasy quicksand feeling here.....................or is it a lame attempt at a Monty Python skit you're itching for?
“Don’t be silly.”
I guess you are not writing the check
My favorite styling cue is the tail lights.
The Mustang is suppose to make noise.
Electric motor just goes hummmmm.
This is not what a Mustang is suppose to do.
Yeah. My wording was poorly chosen.
I am and have been an electrical engineer for 35 years. TRUST me— generators can produce TREMENDOUS currents. You just have to design them to the task.
Good one!
I see you are well indoctrinated, specifically rule #5.
Not disagreeing, but i’ll bet the great majority of ICE fires have elctrical causes.
