Electric vehicles are all the rage these days. While some new, trendy manufacturers may make all the headlines, Ford is also pumping powerful, high-tech electric vehicles out of its North American factories. Some benefits of electric vehicles are obvious -- the money drivers save at the gas station and the lowered environmental impact. Yet, there are other benefits of electric vehicles of which many drivers might not be aware. Electric vehicles are almost always more powerful than their gas counterparts. They also often provide drivers with state-of-the-art technology.
Ford’s latest electric SUV -- the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E -- stands out in all of these areas. In fact, the Mustang Mach-E is so impressive that it won the award for 2021 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year. In this post, we will break down what makes the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E so special. Then, we will attempt to answer the most pressing question concerning the electric SUV as it pertains to our Heber Springs audience -- can it thrive in a rural context?
What Makes the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Special?
The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E boasts a ton of power, and it does so in a unique way. The SUV offers a standard 266 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. Its most-powered trim offers a maximum 480 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. Yet, the power and acceleration of the 2021 Mustang Mach-E are unique due to the near instantaneous application of the engine’s power.
