When you are looking for a specific model, you need to be sure the dealership you're going with will have an inventory of new and used vehicles; this will give you the selection you need to find what works best for you. This is especially important if you are looking for a battery electric vehicle (BEV), as most of these models are relatively new, and not all dealerships stock them-and if you're looking for the Ford Mustang Mach-E for sale, you need to come to Steve Marsh Ford.

An Overview of the Mustang Mach-E
In September 2011, Ford made a major announcement. This brand had revolutionized the industry with the Model T, Thunderbird, and F-Series, and then they decided to develop electric vehicles. Ford dedicated the BlueOval City campus in Tennessee to building electric vehicles and the batteries needed to power them, dovetailing with the introduction of the Mustang Mach-E, Ford's first BEV.
Just like its namesake, the Ford Mustang sports car, the Mustang Mach-E is built for speed. This is a model that gives you exceptional acceleration, making getting onto a busy highway during rush hour a breeze. However, the Mustang Mach-E has a number of differences from its legacy sports car. First, it's built on a compact SUV design; this gives you greater passenger space and cargo capacity than you will find in a coupe or sedan. In fact, the Mustang Mach-E features a "frunk" under the hood where an engine would normally be. Second, it runs solely on electricity, so there's no need for gasoline and there are no foul emissions.
As a true BEV, the Mustang Mach-E runs only on the power provided by its lithium-ion battery pack located in its lower frame. This positioning shields it from damage while not detracting from its interior space. In fact, this design makes servicing the battery easy, as a technician can get access to the battery cells by placing the vehicle on a lift.
The Mustang Mach-E has two different drivetrain designs: one has a single electric motor located in the rear axle, while the other features a motor on either axle. Rear-wheel drive grants better speed, while all-wheel drive grants improved traction, particularly in inclement weather. In addition, Ford offers a number of different battery sizes, giving you a choice of ranges; the longer the range, the more distance you can go without having to recharge the battery. In any event, this can be done at home using your wall unit or at any of the DC Fast Charging stations conveniently located throughout North America.
One thing you are sure to notice-no matter which Mustang Mach-E you choose-is the technology, as each Mustang Mach-E comes equipped with the Ford SYNC infotainment system; this provides you with critical vehicle information on an expansive touchscreen. You can link your smartphones using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you the ability to make hands-free calls and texts. This will also let you stream your favorite music apps right from your phone, providing you with the perfect soundtrack as you pilot your sleek ride to work or out of town.
Best of all, you can pass all of your neighbors at the local gas station, paying high prices to fill up their gas tanks, while you will be saving money by keeping your vehicle charged up at home. You will also have the peace of mind that comes with driving a BEV, knowing you have limited your environmental impact while driving.
Shop for a Mach-E, New or Used
Keeping a large inventory of popular Ford models is the key to giving you the choices you need when buying your next vehicle; this is why our dealership is proud to feature the Mustang Mach-E. If you decide to buy a new one, we will review the different options; this is because Ford offers the Mach-E with different trim levels, special editions, powertrains, and battery range sizes. We give you the ability to choose whatever works best for your lifestyle and will fit your budget perfectly.
One of the best ways to get your next Mustang Mach-E is to buy one used; this will save you money without taking away your ability to get the features and performance you desire. Used vehicles cost less than comparable new models at the same trim level; this will give you the option of buying a higher trim with more features and even greater range, allowing you to travel further between recharges. In addition, each used model we sell comes with an AutoCheck vehicle history report; this will give you key information, like prior usage and accident reports, so you can decide if the pre-owned Mustang Mach-E you're considering is right for you.
FAQ About Owning a BEV
If you are new to BEVs, then you may have a number of questions. Here are some of the most common ones we have gotten from our customers...
Q) What is the difference between a BEV and a hybrid?
A) The key difference is that a hybrid combines an electric motor with a gasoline engine. This blends the performance of the two together and also uses the gas power to recharge the battery at lower speeds. However, if you choose a hybrid, you will still have to buy gasoline. With a BEV, you will never have to fill up the gas tank since it doesn't have one. Instead, the BEV runs solely on electricity, using its battery pack to power one or more electric motors. As a result, you will have zero emissions in a BEV, while the hybrid simply reduces emissions without eliminating them.
Q) How will I know when to recharge my battery?
A) The Ford Mustang Mach-E will tell you the remaining range of your vehicle's battery, just like a fuel gauge. This will let you know when it is time to recharge. In addition, your Ford SYNC infotainment system has an app that will let you know the location of nearby public charging stations in case you aren't close to home.
Q) How can I recharge my battery?
A) If you own a home, you can have an EV charger installed. Ford offers the Ford Connected Charge Station with most models of the Mustang Mach-E. Most drivers choose to place it in their garage. This unit will use your home's electrical system to keep your Mustang Mach-E's battery charged. Each model has a charging port and comes with a recharging cable. It can usually take up to ten hours to get a full recharge; it will depend on the battery size, model, and the voltage available at your home. Models with longer-range batteries may take longer to fully recharge.
You can also go to one of many public DC Fast Charging stations. Ford maintains its BlueOval Charge Network throughout North America. This will allow you to recharge the battery on your Mustang Mach-E while out on a road trip. While this will cost you a few dollars, it can be much more cost-effective than buying gasoline. You can recharge the battery on most models of the Mustang Mach-E in as little as thirty minutes.
The Mustang Mach-E also features kinetic brake recapture. This takes a portion of the kinetic energy released every time you use the vehicle's brakes and recycles that to give a little recharge to the battery. This will also help extend your range when you are driving a Mach-E.
