The numbers are in - Mach-e GT and GT Performance Pack EPA-estimated range announced

Ford has released the EPA numbers for the Mustang Mach-e GT and GT Performance Pack and they're better than expected by as much as 15 miles per charge. The Mach-e GT has a final EPA-estimated range of 270 miles per charge while the GT Performance Pack accomplishes the same feat in 260 miles (probably due to larger tires, etc,). While Ford originally estimated deliveries to begin late summer, now orders will be accepted in the fall. The delat is probably due to the fact that they can't complete the orders they have due to demand and parts issues. Now the Mustang Mach-e with its 480 hp and 634 lb.-ft of torque/860 Nm1 and a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds can compete openly with the faster Teslas. Check with your dealer and get in the queue.

Ford announces Mustang Mach-e GT info and release date

Okay, let's start off with the color of this Mustang Mach-e GT shown in the pics...not a fan. I prefer the candy-apple metallic red color (rapid red metallic clearcoat) but that's me. But this is the Mustang Mach-e some folks have been waiting for, the Mach-e GT (and GT Performance Edition).  This is the Mach-e that will compete with the various Tesla performance models. Start with the Mach-e GT's numbers like 600 hp and up to 814 lb./ft. of torque. How about a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds and under 300 miles of range (depending on tires, Performance edition, etc.). Very competitive. Prices are similar as well with the Mach-e GT starting at $59,900 (plus taxes, license, and fees) and prices jump to $64,900+. BTW, the Mach-e still qualifies for the Federal EV tax incentives unlike Tesla vehicles. Interior fitments are upgraded and Ford's BlueCruise "hands-free" automated driving tech is optional. For more info, check out the media release and videos after the jump. Ford should sell a bunch of these (later this year - early fall) if they can get their dealers in line. If I had unlimited new car funds, this would probably be my choice especially since it has been reported that Ford will start using the Google Infotainment software. More to come. We shall see... Oh and do I have to mention that this is an all-wheel-drive EV?
