Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:35:00 GMT

The Ford Mustang Mach-E brings a lot of history to the table with its iconic Mustang name, but none of it involves electricity. Still, this EV honors its past while embracing the future with killer looks, futuristic features, and a drive style you might mistake for a gas-guzzling SUV.Even though the Mach-E first went on sale in 2020, I hadn't had the chance to drive one until now. After spending time with the $68,000 Premium model, it’s now one of my favorite EVs, and right up there with Tesla.This car has personality, starting with the giant touch screen front and center. I love how large Apple CarPlay displays on the Mach-E’s screen and how Apple Maps integrates battery life and charging stops seamlessly.Unlike a lot of other EV's I've test driven, even Ford’s own software underneath it all feels polished. There are fun drive modes including “Unbridle” for a sporty, exhilarating drive complete with sounds that mimic a gas engine.I got about 300 miles on full charge, which feels li...
