After 8 months of research…it’s the Mach-E!

I’m a retired manufacturing executive/engineering manager who is also a recovering data and analysis junkie, and also a car enthusiast for my whole driving life. I knew I wanted to do most of my driving without fossil fuels, and after 8 months of research and test drives, I leased a new 2024 Mach-E Premium AWD w/extended battery. I drove the top PHEVs (past and present) and EVs and for my use case, the Mach-E checks all the right boxes. We’re both retired and, if you subtract the long-distance drives, we really don’t drive a lot….maybe only 7-8,000 miles/yr. My wife has a nice Infiniti QX50 that we take the long trips in, so I didn’t need an EV that would DC charge all that fast, since I will be using my level 2 home charger 99.9% of the time. I also don’t need that much range, but my research suggests that some of these cars offer higher performance from the bigger battery packs, you know, for when you want it ;). There’s really no financial justification for us switching from an ice-car into an EV, nor that much of an environmental advantage but then again, one vote in an election also doesn’t look like it matters that much does it? So I decided to make the move. I drove the Teslas; Y and 3. These are probably the best designed EVs in their price range but their interiors are their own sort of sensory deprivation chamber; after years of driving Bimmers and Audis it was a bridge too far for me. Plus, their insurance premiums were the highest of any vehicle I considered, wiping out any gas savings. The Kia EV6 was a great option, but the grapevine told me our local dealerships and service departments did not inspire confidence and devotion. That and the fact that at the time they would still have to use the untrustworthy non-Tesla charging networks to take advantage of their ultra-fast charging ability, which then negated that same advantage. Also, because Kias and Hyundais are the most stolen vehicles in the country, their insurance premiums are very high. PHEVs were ultimately eliminated because they perpetuated maintenance costs I wanted to escape and in cold weather their short electric ranges would be even shorter. The Mach-E is a great looking car; perhaps the best looking EV for a guy raised on 60’s and 70’s muscle cars. I turn and look at it as I walk away…..whereas I would just simply walk away from a Tesla. Its interior is also very nice, and has the usual assortment of physical controls that make transitioning from an ice-car easy. Finally, the Mach-E insurance premium was the lowest of any car I considered, sealing the deal. The car rides better than the Teslas too; my wife commented that it rode better even than my 2017 Infiniti QX50! There is some small porpoising over inconsistent road surfaces, although nowhere near as bad as I experienced in the 2021 Mach-Es I drove. The handling-ride compromise evokes memories of the several 5-series Bimmers I’ve owned so I’m happy with that. And so far, my efficiency calculations tell me I’m getting 4.1-4.3 miles/KWh albeit in ‘whisper’ mode and maximizing use of regen. I’ve only got less than 300 miles on the odometer so far so I’ll be updating this review regularly. So far, I am positively delighted with this choice!! For my use-case, nothing else would satisfy as well! UPDATE 2/20/2025 Still in love with this car!!! We’ve put about 3k miles on the odometer in just over 6 months and the car has proven perfectly reliable, which it anyway should. I still love driving every mile in it and my wife loves it too. I have level 2 (220V) charging in my garage and so wake up every morning with a ‘full tank’, ready to go. It’s been very cold these past weeks but, because there is no engine generating exhaust fumes, I can program the car (through the Ford app) to turn on and warm the cabin, and precondition the battery, before we leave, a feature we’ve come to absolutely love!! You can’t do that with an ICE car in a garage with the doors closed! There was a minor issue early on with the audio system. The car would ‘forget’ changes I made to the EQ settings after turning it off. Well this was fixed with an over-the-air (OTA) update, another feature of EVs that we love. So during the warmer months the car’s range had been around 300 miles and its driving efficiency around 4 mi/Kwh. I use the most ECO-friendly driving mode (‘Whisper’) and the car still has better performance than all but one of the 37 cars I’ve owned. And compared to my 2017 Infiniti QX50 I’m saving 80% of the gas I used to buy by charging 100% at home. But in the colder winter months my range has dropped by as much as 25%; as low as 225 miles, and my efficiency has dropped to around 2.5 M/KWh. This is because as much battery energy is being used to warm the cabin and battery as is being used to actually move the car along. So I’m only saving 50% of my previous gas bill during these times, but I’m still driving a clean, zero-emissions car, I will note here that from 2025 onward, the Mach-E finally gets a heat pump, which has been shown in Teslas to significantly improve cold-weather range and efficiency. BTW, I’ve had occasion now to experience my AWD Mach’E on snow-covered roads and it is EXCELLENT! It compares very favorably to the several Audi Quattros I have owned. We are solidly converted to owning an EV now. I don’t imagine ever not having one in our two-car ‘fleet’. Anywhere we go together we always take the Mach-E. My wife’s Infiniti gets used sparingly when she drives alone or, when we go on a long trip. All Mach-Es made so far take around 40 minutes to charge from 10% to 90%. That’s WAY too long for us to sit at a charging station during a typical trip where we might have to stop at least twice. So until U.S. manufacturers catch up with China where some cars can do that charge in only 8 minutes, we will continue to own an ICE car, or maybe a plug-in hybrid, alongside our EV. Otherwise, our Mach-E gets used for the other 345 days of the year when we’re doing our normal driving, which is well within a 100 mile radius of our home. I will close by adding that our lease will be up in July 2027. While the Mach-E will be at the top of our list, we will also look again at Kia/Hyundai offerings as well as from GM and others. A lot is happening in the EV world, and these cars are adding features while coming down in price every year. What a great time to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime technical revolution!

Better than my Tesla Model Y

I traded in my 21 Tesla model Y for a mustang mache e long range AWD premium model. Ford gave an extra $1500 for trading in a Tesla. The Mach e is superior to the Tesla Y in fit snd finish, smoothness of drive, interior quality and has a similar 300 mile range. I can charge at Tesla superchargers with the adapter so there is no inconvenience at all. The blue oval hands off drive program is similar to Tesla autopilot but has less bugs. I absolutely love the Mach E and hope that Ford stays with it. A superior vehicle in every way.

Goes Like a Bat Out of Hell

Crisp. In one word that is the best description of the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-e (premium). The handling is fantastic, responsive and immediate. The acceleration makes the traditional ICE type vehicles feel clumsy and slow. Can't go back to a flabby ICE vehicle after experiencing the zip of the Mach-e. Detailing is top notch, the ride comfortable and quiet. What's not to like about this vehicle. Still getting used to a charging routine, a complete departure from a lifetime of rolling into a filling-station to gas up. The 300 mile range is way more than enough juice for weekly travel locally and as time wears on, more and more super-chargers will be available for the long distance trips. Top trim is a little spendy, but after experiencing the ride, worth every penny. Definitely a winner.

Love my Mach-E best car I have ever owned!

Couldn't be more happy with how smooth quiet and powerful this vehicle is. I had a 5.0 Mustang and a New Camaro SS before this. The Mach-E accelerates So much faster from a dead stop. It's so fast and smooth I recorded a 3.5 to 60 with a draggy. Best I ever did with my Camaro was a 4.3 and the mustang 4.5. another good thing about the electric Mustang is how playful it is around turns. Turn the traction control off and it will let you drift around any corner wet or dry. The 5.0 Mustang it won't point you into a ditch. It breaks away smooth and progressive. And the steering isn't numb.

It does what you'd expect for a 48k car

I've now owned the Mach E for almost three years (33k miles)... I charge at home with the original charger provided by Ford... works fine and my solar panels provide the juice. The ride can get a bit squirmy on rough roads compared to my Porsche Macan S... but thats a 70k car... The ME has great acceleration... and very planted on the new Michelins Cross climates I put on... the range stated is 230... only if you're going downhill... I get about 195/200 on freeway drives and 175 around town... I live at 1400 ft... so home is up winding roads...The B&O hi fi is great, as is the entertainment system... Overall, after the tax break, and the free charging... its an easy decision.
