Online, the Mach-E may be judged unfairly given the gravitas behind its very name, but equine nomenclature aside, how does it act as an actual car? If electric vehicles are supposedly primed to take over internal combustion powered cars any day now, how does an offering from one of the most well-known companies in human history perform?
To figure that out, a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium fitted with a 91 kWh extended range battery and two electric motors arrived on my driveway. With both motors working in unison, it generates a combined 346 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. Despite its pedestrian silhouette, the Mach-E actually produces more horsepower and torque than a base model 2.3L EcoBoost-powered Ford Mustang, which only pumps out 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. SlashGear has reviewed the base model 2023 Mach-E Select RWD as well.
Being an electric car, range is the most important specification. According to Ford, this Mach-E with its extended battery had an estimated range of 290 miles, although in real world use, that won’t necessarily be the case. For charging speed, the Mach-E has access to Ford’s BlueOval charging network, and in theory any 150 kW DC fast charger using the CCS charge port (also an important plot point during my week with the Mach-E).
