The electric Ford Mustang Mach-E has joined Autocar's long-term fleet! Join Jim_Holder as he discovers whether the model can live up to that famous nameplate
The good news is that reaction has so far been good, from our own four-star road test verdict through to impressive sales figures around the world. In perception terms, at least, Ford is now considered – just about – on the pace when it comes to EVs.
One that I will highlight straight away, as I believe most drivers will notice similar in a short space of time, however, is the ride quality. I’ve seen it described by one overenthusiastic commentator as “beautiful”, but I simply can’t concur. In anything other than its mildest setting, Switching to the so-called Whisper setting has brought respite, however. It’s still far from perfect , but it’s on the decent side of manageable, if still far, far from beautiful on any road of any type that I’ve put it down. Maybe that moment of enlightenment will arrive at some point, but I doubt it.My time with the Mach-E will shine a broader light on the challenges of running an EV in the UK today.
That means I have an official 273 miles of range available, which equated to around 180 real miles when it was really cold and wet but, following the first serious signs of summer, is now closer to 225 miles.
