Ford Mustang Mach-E

During development, the Mustang Mach-E was originally teased as the Ford Mach 1, but was retracted after strong public opposition, with Ford CEO Jim Farley describing the name tease as an evaluation. The Mach-E has buttons that open the doors, and a small fixed door handle protruding from the front doors, instead of door handles. Smartphones, or a keypad built into the B-pillar, can be used as a key. The interior has a wide dashboard and built-in soundbar; the dash is equipped with a vertically mounted touchscreen infotainment system fitted with a rotary dial. The majority of the car's systems are controlled through the screen, which uses Ford's recent SYNC 4 operating system, updatable wirelessly. There is a digital cluster for the driver, and the steering wheel has several physical buttons. The Mustang Mach-E uses the Global Electrified 1 (GE1) platform, which is a heavily reworked version of the C2 platform shared with the fourth generation Focus and third generation Kuga/fourth generation Escape. It offers a traditional cargo area at the rear offering a volume of , and a waterproof trunk under the hood and can be charged by a home AC charger or by DC fast chargers at up to 150 kW. == Trim levels ==

In the U.S., the Mustang Mach-E is available in four distinct trim levels: base Select, mid-level California Route 1 Edition, well-equipped Premium, and performance-oriented GT. A limited-production First Edition trim was also available at launch for the 2021 model year, and was based on the Premium trim. A GT Performance Package is also available for the GT trim. The model was launched with two battery pack sizes and three power outputs. The entry-level rear-wheel drive version is offered with either a 75.7kWh (68 kWh usable) battery pack driving a motor or an 98.8kWh (88 kWh usable) extended battery pack driving a motor. Both battery packs have a claimed time of 6.1 seconds or less and an EPA range of around respectively. The SR and ER models use the motors, but motor output differs due to the pack's differing power output limits. All models use a rear motor, while eAWD models (Select and Premium) use a smaller motor on the front axle. The GT Performance trim uses the same motor in both front and rear. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is also offered with either the same 75.7kWh battery pack driving a motor, or the 98.8kWh extended battery pack driving a motor. They have estimated EPA ranges of , respectively. Car and Driver achieved a time of 5.1 seconds with the extended-range model. An all-wheel-drive GT trim is offered with the 98.8 kWh pack, producing , a targeted time of 3.8 seconds, and a targeted driving range of . The GT trim's Unbridled Extend Mode attempts to ameliorate this limitation by increasing cooling and limiting peak motor output. The Mach-E GT Performance Edition was revealed on December 2, 2020. It is equipped with 20" alloy wheels with Pirelli tires, red Brembo calipers, and black accents on the bodywork. It is equipped with a motor that can generate of torque, and has a range of . == Specifications ==

2020–22 models 2023 models and charging standards change For the 2023 model year, Ford began offering LFP battery chemistry in the Mach-E and updated battery pack gross capacities. In May 2023, Ford announced integration of the North American Charging System (NACS) DC fast charging system into their electric vehicles. Existing Ford electric models will be able to connect to the NACS system and its chargers by use of an adapter. Both will thus have access to the extensive NACS charging network with more than 12,000 chargers worldwide. Ford EVs will eventually have native a NACS charge ports on the vehicle, but as of the 2025 model year Ford still sells the Mach-E with a native CCS1 port in the US market and offers a NACS to CCS1 adapter as an option on 2025 models. It is available to purchase through Ford Dealers for $200 if a vehicle was not optioned with it from the factory. 2024–present models In 2024 Ford dropped the California Route One model from the Mach-E lineup and added the Rally model above the GT model. In 2025 Ford also began offering the Sport Appearance Package on the Premium trim level which gave the Premium trim level the front grille and bumper design that was previously only available on the GT model. == Special variants ==

Mustang Mach-E 1400 . The Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 is a test-bed prototype, first tested by Vaughn Gittin Jr., developed in over 10,000 hours of collaboration between RTR Vehicles and Ford Performance. It is made mostly from composite fiber, saving more weight over carbon fiber. Based on the performance figures of the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, the power of the Mach-E 1400 has been increased to and over of torque, powered by a total of 7 electric motors from a 56.8 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt alloy battery, for high performance and discharge rate, cooled by a di-electric coolant. The power of each electric motor can be adjusted individually within very small margins, and could allow for switching between all-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive. The aerodynamics of the prototype allow it to get up to of downforce. Regenerative braking is achieved through an electric booster system, accompanied by ABS and stability control to optimize the braking system. The electric prototype also contains Brembo brakes like the Ford Mustang GT4 racecar. The public debut occurred at the 2020 NHRA U.S. Nationals. Mustang Mach-E GT Service Vehicles In December 2021, New York City announced it was buying 184 Mustang Mach-E SUVs as emergency vehicles. During 2022 these vehicles would replace gasoline-powered cars already in use. This model could accelerate from in 3.8 seconds and had a range of . Mustang Mach-E Rally At the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2023, Ford unveiled the Rally concept car, which will be put in production. In September 2023, Ford introduced the production version of the Mustang Mach-E Rally, which has an electric motor on each axle with a total of . == Marketing ==

. Ford hired British actor Idris Elba (who once worked for Ford of Britain along with his father) to star in several teaser commercials for the car and host the Mustang Mach-E's official debut on November 17, 2019. On July 9, 2021, Paul Clifton, Kevin Booker, and Fergal McGrath set a Guinness World Record by driving from John O'Groats to Land's End. They covered the route with three charges. Later, a team consisting of Booker, McGrath, and Adam Wood beat this record with one charge stop of 43 minutes 13 seconds, gaining an additional two Guinness World Records. == Production ==

Unlike the internal combustion engine (ICE) Mustang models, the Mach-E is assembled at Cuautitlán Assembly in Cuautitlán Izcalli, Mexico. In April 2022, Ford stopped accepting new orders for the 2022 model year Mustang Mach-E due to its popularity. In June 2022, the CFO of Ford Motor announced that the profitability of the Mustang Mach-E had been wiped out due to increases in the cost of raw materials. == Significant recalls ==

In May 2022, Ford initiated a select recall for 2021 Mach-E AWD models over "an issue with unintended acceleration, deceleration, and/or a loss of power" resulting from functional safety software failing to detect a software error during operation leading to unintended acceleration, unintended deceleration, or a loss of drive power. == Safety ==

The 2021 Mustang Mach-E top trim was awarded the "Top Safety Pick" by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation after a crash where advanced driver assistance system was in use. == Awards ==

In 2021, the Mustang Mach-E won Car and Drivers first "EV of the Year" award. It was up against ten other vehicles including three Tesla models, Audi e-tron, Volvo XC40 Recharge, and Porsche Taycan. All vehicles were tested on how far they could travel at , performance tests, subjective feel tests on public roads and finally a road trip from Michigan to Virginia and back. The magazine stated that: "The Mach-E has the driving dynamics and design to push new buyers past mere acceptance of EVs to excitement." They also made note of the premium materials and build quality in their scoring. == Sales ==
