The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is a big step toward an environmentally friendly future. You might be surprised to learn, however, that engineers like Thomas Davenport and Robert Anderson started experimenting with electric carriages as far back as the 1800s. In the United States, the first successful electric car made its debut around 1890, thanks to a chemist from Iowa named William Morrison; his six-passenger vehicle (capable of a top speed of 14 mph) was little more than an electrified wagon, but it was enough to spark an interest that continues today.
That interest has propelled many of the industry’s top brands—including Ford—to dedicate extensive research and development to including EVs in their lineups. For Ford, one such creation is the Mustang Mach-E. The beloved pony car’s electrified version is stylish both inside and out, offering drivers a touch of nostalgia with all the perks that EVs provide. You can see the Mustang Mach-E for sale up close at Kings Ford; we have a large inventory waiting for you, as well as a knowledgeable and friendly team who can review the Mach-E’s features and answer any questions you might have.
When the Mustang Mach-E entered the scene in 2021, it was Ford’s first all-electric crossover—and while the Mustang name caused ripples through the auto industry, it was clear from the start that this was something new.
The 2021 Mustang Mach-E shared many styling cues from the gas-powered version—and today's model does, too—but between that and the Mustang name, the Mach-E stands alone. It was offered with two battery options, providing a range of up to 305 miles, and either rear- or all-wheel drive. Its debut was celebrated with several awards, including "Editor’s Choice" and "EV of the Year" from Car and Driver. It has also been rated as an IIHS Top Pick+ since its introduction.
As mentioned, this Ford EV's first generation had nods to classic Mustang styling with its attention-grabbing, aerodynamic lines. The five-door coupe had room for five people, easy access to the hatchback, and advanced safety and technology features, making it a great option for the everyday driver. It also emphasized streamlined efficiency in the interior, with a place for everything and an intuitive infotainment system that was easy to use and connected seamlessly to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Drivers also enjoyed available features like ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, and a wireless charging dock. These features rivaled those of its competitors, giving the Mach-E a great start right out of the gate. In fact, when it won Car and Driver's "EV of the Year," it beat out ten other EVs, including the Tesla Model 3 Performance and Model Y Performance, as well as the Audi e-Tron and the Porsche Taycan 4S.
Today’s Mustang Mach-E continues to turn heads, giving you the choice of four trim levels, including the brand-new Mustang Mach-E Rally option that is designed to take your EV off-road with a targeted suspension system, racing-inspired styling, and interior accents that support the power you feel when taking the steering wheel in your hands. Each trim level offers something for a wide range of drivers, resulting in a dynamic blend of power and performance.
For charging purposes, each Mach-E comes with a Ford mobile charger that uses a 120-volt standard household plug. You can also opt for a Ford charging station to be installed at your home, giving you access to a 240-volt outlet and quicker charging. The most recent Mach-E is equipped with a newer version of the battery system that was originally introduced in 2021; this new system provides improved range estimates over previous years.
In addition, technology and safety features continue to be at the forefront of the design, as is comfort. You’ll gain access to up-to-date software updates through Ford’s SYNC system, as well as connectivity to your favorite apps and more. Plus, you can find Ford Mach-E trims with Blue Cruise capability, giving you hands-free driving on hundreds of thousands of roads across North America.
The latest Mach-E continues to seat five, with generous cargo space under the hatchback feature. Regarding exterior styling, it stays virtually the same as in previous years, with a coupe's svelte aerodynamics to glide through the twists and curves as you navigate your way through the cut-in-the hill during your daily commute from the Kentucky side. You’ll also find downtown parking quick and easy with the Mach-E’s exceptional driver assistance features.
Last but not least, as Ford continues to advance the Mach-E’s design and amenities, it still maintains a lead over competitors, such as the Tesla Model Y, Audi e-Tron, and what some consider to be a direct competitor in the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
We offer a varied lineup of new and used Mach-E’s, giving you the opportunity to review what trim level works best for you. You can view our inventory online or stop in to talk with a member of our sales team. You’ll find that we’re a bit different than other dealerships, with a focus on stress and hassle-free shopping; we take the time to learn what you need most in your everyday vehicle, whether you’re a regular in the carpool line or drive back and forth from the east side to the west side for work.
We also stand behind our Certified Pre-Owned Ford vehicles, going above and beyond to ensure they meet our high standards. When you visit us, we can review the Ford CPO program for you, highlighting the benefits you receive and our commitment to supporting you throughout the life of your automotive ownership—not just during the sale.
Speaking of support, you’ll find our vehicle financing team is ready and willing to find the best rates and financing options for your new or used vehicle. This includes staying on top of the latest incentives and tax benefits when purchasing an EV. With the electric vehicle tax credit, or EV credit, taxpayers who buy certain electric or plug-in hybrid cars (including the Mach-E) can get a nonrefundable tax credit.
You won't get any extra money back in the form of a tax return, but the credit can make a big dent in your tax bill. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act recently changed the tax benefit for the years 2023 through 2032. For new EVs, the maximum credit is $7,500, and for used EVs, the maximum credit is $4,000 or up to 30% of the sale price. Our team can answer any questions you have about the tax credit and benefits to ensure you get the most out of your purchase.
Our Kings Ford team not only helps you find and finance your Mach-E, but we also help you keep it running with our state-of-the-art Ford service center. Plus, we offer quality OEM Ford parts when needed and take the time to communicate your vehicle’s needs clearly. Our trained technicians are dedicated to ensuring you and your family are safe as you travel, and we take great pride in the work we provide.
If you’re still researching electric vehicles, you’ll note that they often require less maintenance due to their minimalist design—but knowing who to turn to when you do need assistance is key.
