Meet the New Mustang Mach-E

Ford is working hard on its all-electric lineup, starting with the new 2021 Mustang Mach-E, available later this year. This SUV-inspired ride will give drivers the same 0-60 adrenaline rush without the harmful emissions. The available electric all-wheel-drive gives drivers the performance and handling expected of a Ford, with the space and comforts of a luxury vehicle.

Coming Soon: The All-Electric Ford F-150

Next in the lineup is the highly-anticipated all-electric Ford F-150, expected in 2022. As we get closer to the release, more details and specs will be made available, however we are happy to report that the new truck won't skimp on power - it's already passed the test of towing more than a million pounds of freight weight.

What is an electric vehicle?

An electric vehicle is run only by one or more electric motors powered by a chargeable battery, using no gasoline whatsoever. The battery is charged by an outside electric power source like an at-home or public charging station.

What are the benefits of driving an electric vehicle?

Financial Savings. You may qualify for federal tax incentives plus many states also offer additional rebates to electric vehicle buyers.

Minimal Maintenance.There are less parts involved in an electric vehicle, so time and money spent on maintenance is minimized.

Less Environmental Impact.Imagine never stopping at the gas station for fuel again. Ford electric vehicles require no gas to operate, which is not only good for your savings, it's good for the environment.

Do Ford electric vehicles drive the same as conventional cars?

When driving one of Ford's electric vehicles, you don't have to worry about making sacrifices when it comes to speed and power. These models boast impressive acceleration with an instantaneous level of control. Plus, they can drive through extreme conditions, including below zero temperatures and snowy terrain.

How often do you have to charge an electric vehicle?

Ford all-electric vehicles give you the freedom and convenience of traveling long distances with your battery. The Ford Mustang Mach-E allows for a 300-mile range before requiring a charge. Your car can be charged at home or at public charging stations. The Ford Mobile Charger with a 120- or 240-volt wall outlet comes standard with every electric vehicle. Available later this year, the Ford Connected Mobile Charger will charge up to ten times faster than a standard wall outlet. For the moments you aren't charging your vehicle at home, Ford proudly offers the largest network of public charging stations.
