Featured Mustang-Inspired Ford Mach E Will Do Zero to 60 in Under 3.5 Seconds, Debut Late 2019: Report

Let me know after 10k of these have been sold, there are two at every dealer, there is a forum with early adopter gripes and praise, and real world usage reports trickle in. Until then it is vaporware and 11 months away.

Glad to see it but too much hype for a car that isn't real.

 

Model y will probably replace x at some point, so 7 seats might attract a few buyers

 

I heard it could do 0-$50k in one signature.

Also I just ran across this 'nik article about the doors. I'm ready to write it off already.

 

This insistence of copying Tesla ideas is not good. They are not all genius.
Don’t the doors require some emergency safty features?

 

The door thing reminds me of the touchpad unlocking feature from 10 years ago, redesigned.

 

They must have subbed it out to vdumb engineers. It’s amazing how much money and time germans will spend designing and building something useless and prone to failure just to prove they can

 

Betcha these things come with a sack of Werther's Originals in the glovebox. They're gunning hard for the nerd grampa demographic.

/with apologies to the nerd grampas in the room

 

most of the folks living near rivers will carry a little window busting hammer. Maybe those are included.

If ford put wings on the mustang they could call it a Mobil Pegasus.

FORD MUSTANG MACH-E DETAILS

We’ve got more technical data on the Ford Mach-E. There are two battery sizes, with cells from LG, and they are liquid cooled and heated. A 75 kWh battery will deliver 220-230 miles of driving range. A 98-kWh battery will deliver over 300 miles of range. The base car will be rear wheel drive, with a 210-kW motor. Ford says it will be as fast as a Porsche Macan S. The all-wheel-drive version has an additional 50-kW motor mounted between the front wheels. The Mach-E GT will come with 459 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque and will go from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds. Ford says it will will be as fast as a 911 GTS.

The Mach-E can use 150-kW fast chargers that will deliver 47 miles of range in 10 minutes. You can buy a 48-amp, 220-volt charger through Amazon, which will also arrange to have it installed in your home, though no price was announced. It will provide 32 miles of range for every hour of charging. And by using the Ford Pass app on your phone, you can use almost any charging service, instead of having to open different accounts with each one.​

Gosh this is a disappointment:

• (75 kWh / 230 mi) * 100 = 32.6 kWh/100 mi
• (98 kWh / 300 mi) * 100 = 32.6 kWh/100 mi
• "150 kW fast charger delivers 47 mi in 10 min" vs 80 mi in 10 minutes, SR+ Model 3
• "32 miles of range for every hour of charging" (L2) vs 32 miles of range in SR+ Model 3

The reason for efficient EV cars is to reduce the amount of batteries and charge time required. But let's wait for the production Mach-E numbers.

Cuts seatbelts, too.

 

The reported battery capacities likely aren't the usable amount.

The front interior door latches can be pulled farther to activate a mechanical latch if the supercapacitors in each door have also died.

its ford. i'm not disappointed, i have low expectations

 

I got an email that Ford is targeting the Tesla Model Y. I’m impressed.

Bob Wilson

 

If it could handle the entire 150kW chargespeed that Electrify America offers, I would be impressed.
.

 

if they make one, i'll be impressed

 

The OP's uncomfirmed source's 'claimed' 0-60mph is under 3½ seconds. Since the quickest accelerating performance model 3's 0-60mph time is 3.18 seconds - & tops out price wise north of $60k - it'd seem Ford's crossover mustang ev would necessarily have to be priced in the same range. You can unconfirmed quote me on that.
