Not quite sure what Ford is doing on this one. Firstly if I was going to take the EV plunge, why would I get a knock off Tesla? Secondly if I wanted a Mustang why would I buy an electric Mazda crossover with a Mustang badge?
When I first saw the Mach-e I thought, "why in the world did they put the Mustang name on that soccer mom short minivan?! That's blasphemy!". The red-blooded American male in me was offended. Then I test drove one (a 2022 Mach-e GT AWD) and, honey hush! When I stomped on the accelerator I about put the salesman into the back seat. And that was in Eco mode. LOL Pressing the Drive Mode button to put it into Sport mode will grow hair on your chest. LOL
As far as handling goes, though, its crossover shape makes it not handle as good as other Mustangs. Test driving the Kia EV6 (small EV car like a lot of EV's) will spoil you on handling (low profile combined with the battery giving it a low center of gravity makes it dart around curves). And I'm impressed with the fast charging tech for the Kia and Hyundai EV's (which matters only if you're taking it on a road trip since most charging for local driving is at home). So my wife and I got a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (crossover shape makes it ideal for tall people in our 50's who plan to drive it 20 years and don't want to be crawling in and out of a small car in our 70's). Had it 10 months and put 22K miles on it for a total average of 3.4 miles per kWh (that's DC power, assume a 5% of 10% loss to lower that throughput to about 3.1 miles/AC kWh because of loss when charging while converting AC power to DC).
To be honest, I probably wouldn't have gotten it if all the variables weren't aligned. Things like my wife's old car needed replacing anyway, and I was doing a large project of making us as energy independent as possible with solar and an all-electric home ---- an EV extends that mostly energy independence onto the road for local driving and the first 250 miles of each trip. With 80% of our power free from solar, we're in a position that the Dims' stupid policies of jacking up energy prices to control us don't harm us, all while we drive around more and keep our house more comfortable temps and get in the hot tub more since energy is practically free. The few times an EV won't do, fine, we have an old ICE pickup since we every now and then need two cars anyway and I like having an old pickup that I can practically abuse to get chores done. If the Dims go full mark-of-the-beast mode with buying energy I have a backup plan to be 100% energy independent (except for long trips). That's not worth implementing unless absolutely necessary because the law of diminishing returns would make it not pay for itself through energy cost savings.
