'23 Mustang MachE Drops $4K at Upper End

'23 Mustang MachE Drops $4K at Upper EndYeah, humor aside, you know these price changes are driven by competition and market forces, not by the goodness of their heart.


Anyway, upgrading charging rate to achieve 10 to 80 percent in 33 minutes for standard range MachE is a step in right direction. That's about 320 MPH, if my estimate is correct, which isn't bad but still much slower than some competitors in same price range. Just saying there's more room for improvement. Another plus is being able to routinely charge to 100% at home due to lithium iron phosphate battery which increases effective daily range.


Personally, I would like to see Ford offer a de-contented and de-sized (if there is such a word) auto as a means to get prices down. As an example, I can afford to spend more for a BEV but won't because it doesn't add enough value to me. A small efficient low-cost BEV to drive mostly within 50 miles of home is about as far as I'm willing to commit to for now, with safety being the main concern.Fri, 05 May 2023 15:31:51 +0000
