Living up to a legend isn't easy, so how's it done? Living up to a legend is only possible if you impress the fandom that ushered it into superstardom. For example, the Ford Mustang is one of the most prolific automobiles around, especially for Ford fans who have grown up alongside the legendary namesake that has been in production for over fifty years. A legend that's half a century in the making means generations have experienced the power, durability, and sleek indistinguishable designs the Mustang is known for.
Nowadays, there's another vehicle in Ford's lineup that dawns the Mustang name, but it's not a muscle or sports car. The second vehicle to sport the name is an electric-powered SUV, and that's the Mustang Mach-E for sale that you can experience at our dealership today. This vehicle proudly carries the legacy of the Mustang, and it does so without sacrificing an identity that makes it unique while still representing the best parts of what has made the Mustang such a household name for over fifty years.
When people hear the name "Mustang," their mind goes to sports cars or the muscle cars of years past. The Mustang Mach-E is different in more than a handful of unique ways. Firstly, the Mustang Mach-E isn't a sports car, but it's a compact SUV. The style alone is a significant change over the Mustang, but the biggest difference is that the Mustang Mach-E is a fully electric vehicle and doesn't take fuel of any kind.
Although the similarities between the Mustang and the Mustang Mach-E mostly end with the namesakes, there's also something to be said about the sheer quality of both automobiles, and with the Mustang name, you can also expect power, which is one of the greatest strengths for both vehicles. The Mustang Mach-E can even output better performance than the Mustang, but does that mean current Mustang owners should forgo their current sports car for the Mach-E?
The Mustang Mach-E's goal isn't to usher out the Mustang. Still, it's a statement Ford is making – Ford holds its Mustang in its highest regard, which its seniority in the lineup is evident of, so they don't throw the Mustang moniker around without a second thought. Ford wouldn't apply the Mustang name to a vehicle they didn't think deserved it, and Ford drivers can't be fooled either because everyone knows the Mustang is powerful. This is the weight the Mustang Mach-E must carry on its shoulders, but that's not an issue because the Mustang Mach-E not only deserves its name but also pushes it further and breathes second life into the Mustang name as the Mustang Mach-E has plenty to offer drivers.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E offers drivers groundbreaking EV performance that has a plethora of different powertrain options and is one of Ford's most technologically-efficient automobiles. Since the first Mach-E's launch, technology has been a sweet spot for the SUV, with the earliest Mach-E model – the 2021 Mach-E – coming standard with an impressively large infotainment center. This continued with later models, each offering a massive touchscreen packed with tons of infotainment and connectivity features.
The Mustang Mach-E fits into the greater picture of Ford's lineup as it is a fantastic way to kickstart a lineup of stellar EVs by naming it after a famous pre-existing vehicle and then showing drivers why they deserve to hold the same namesake as these legendary vehicles. You can see the same thing with the Ford F-150 Lightning and what it's doing for EV full-size pickup trucks. Whether you believe EVs are the future or not, they'll play a large part in the future regardless, so the Mustang Mach-E is a great step for Ford in this market. Other manufacturers are doing similar things too, and these vehicles make up the Mustang Mach-E's most challenging competition: the Chevy Equinox EV, the Kia EV6, Nissan Arriya, and the Volkswagen ID.4.

There are a few things you should know about EV ownership. Firstly, you'll need a home charger, preferably a Level 2 charger for the Mustang Mach-E. Ford's Level 1 charger comes with every EV, which gets the job done in a pinch with its 120v of power. The Level 2 charger has 240V of power, and if you opt for the Ford Mobile Power Cord, you can charge your Mustang Mach-E from empty to full charge in only 14 hours. For home charging, there's the Ford Mobile Power Cord, Ford Charge Station Pro, or the Ford Connected Charge Station. However, the latter two require installation from a professional, which is something prior EV owners may already know.
EVs come in a few different forms, including hybrids, which use a battery and regular gasoline but don't plug into a charger. A PHEV utilizes gas and a battery, too, but you can charge the battery by either plugging it in or utilizing a feature like regenerative braking. Lastly, a BEV – which the Mustang Mach-E is – doesn't utilize gasoline and must be plugged into a power source for charging.
Owning an EV like the Mustang Mach-E also means you aren't limited to home charging because many EVs – the Mustang Mach-E included – are linked to the BlueOval network, so charging your vehicle on the go is quickly becoming as common as stopping at the gas station. EVs have zero tailpipe emissions, which means everything you've heard about greener-focused powertrains is 100% accurate, and this benefit can be broken down into two parts. Firstly, zero tailpipe emissions have obvious advantages for the environment, but it can also help your wallet, too, thanks to federal tax credits that vehicles like the Mustang Mach-E have and can put money back in your pocket after you've made your purchase.
Ford's new vehicle warranties don't only come with the purchase of a new Mustang Mach-E, but they also come with warranties that only come with hybrids or EVs. Like any other new Ford vehicle, the standard warranties that come with the Mustang Mach-E include a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain and safety restraint system warranty, and 5-year corrosion protection.
Hybrids and EVs like the Mustang Mach-E also get the Hybrid/Electric unique component warranty, which lasts for 100,000 miles driven or eight years after purchase. Ford's other warranties, like Emissions Defect and the diesel powertrain, aren't applicable, but this is another strength of EVs like the Mustang Mach-E as the warranty lasts three years longer than the coverage of a diesel engine.
The Mustang Mach-E's staying power is strong, which is something that it shares with the regular Mustang. Only a manufacturer like Ford can truly set the standard for various types of vehicles, and it's the Mustang Mach-E that sets the stage for any BEV SUV that follows. The only thing between you and the incredible Mustang Mach-E is finding one, but that's no problem at all if you shop with us at Pearson Ford.
