Long-Term Review: '22 Mustang Mach-E

After more driving through 20 states and more than 22,000 miles it’s time to review my 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium all-wheel-drive extended range edition.

This is an amazing review. I was on the fence and you sold me. Ford owes you a check

[@EVRider]

Thanks. Since I did that review I've reached 37k+ miles on my Mach-E. Still lovin' it.

[@irfanhusein1445]

Very accurate and honest review. I have 2021 Mach E premium with over 48,000 miles on it. I would have preferred a softer ride but other than that it’s been great. It’s also been the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. I paid $20 for a tire rotation at 20,000 miles and that it.

[@EVRider]

I think the ride is where Ford has some work to do. The base suspension is good but compared to some competitors it doesn't strike quite as good a balance between handling and absorbing bumps.

@@EVRider Which EVs have better ride quality?

[@frankooscar5531]

What a great video! Very informative. And it is a really nice car! Love the red

[@EVRider]

Thanks. I'm still lovin' the Mustang Mach-E after more than 41k miles.

[@KaiPonte]

Thank you for the honest review. I purchased a CA Route 1 back in November. Still loving it after eight months and 15,000 miles. I honestly have no idea what my miles/KwH is. However, in Los Angeles, I have way too many hills.

[@willburk]

Great video, thanks! Please adjust the gain on your lapel mic so it doesn't clip/distort.

[@EVRider]

Hi Will, Thanks for watching! Concerning the lav mic, my low-end Synco wireless mic system started failing. The gain was at its lowest setting. My new DJI wireless mics arrived today. I've got one more episode shot with the old mics coming next week but after that you should hear a noticeable improvement.

[@leifandersen2756]

I like the design but not the I-pad like screen ! I prefer another kind like the VW ID4 screen.

[@Linkmaster2010]

Hey Bill, thanks for the short and sweet perspectives on the Mach-E. How would you compare it to the Ioniq 5 you tested a bit over a year ago? I've been eyeing the I5 for a long time, but Ford is offering 0% APR for the Mach-E and that coupled with the tax credit and a state incentive the I5 Limited edition is too high of an MSRP to qualify for, the Mach-E would be about $9k less to finance, so it just just seems too good of a deal to pass up.

[@EVRider]

I think the Ioniq 5 is a great EV. The two features it has that beat the Mach-E are the insane charging speed and the ability to use it as a power source for things like charging another EV or keeping the fridge on during a blackout. I personally choose the Mach-E because I preferred its style, wanted to support an American brand and loved the extra space it provided with the frunk. One caveat to the Ioniq 5, Hyundai has not announced plans yet to adopt Tesla's Supercharger, while Ford will add a NACS adapter in early 2024. My guess is Hyundai will end up joining Tesla's NACS but I'd never buy a car on a guess.

[@cliffco823]

Thanks for the reply. What are your thoughts on used Mach-Es? I see some good deals on 'reacquired" ones, but don't a bit apprehensive about those.

[@EVRider]

Like any used car it all depends on things like mileage, maintenance and the overall condition. I'd also want to know if the car had ever been in an accident. In general, I would think a used Mach-E in good condition should be fine. You can also do a basic check by entering its VIN: www.autocheck.com/vehiclehistory/

[@cliffco823]

@@EVRider Thanks 😊

[@dylanreed5636]

Ha, dealer mark up, these have depreciated so fast

[@cliffco823]

What are you thoughts on: 1. Consumers Reports no longer recommending the Mach E. Would that influence your decision to purchase in 2023. 2. What do you think of the 2023 updates?

[@EVRider]

I'd absolutely consider buying the Mach-E again given the experience I've had with my car, regardless of Consumer Reports. In terms of updates, the two most important are: Ford has upped the range of my AWD drive premium trim model to 290 miles and starting sometime in 2024 Mach-E's will be able to charge at all Tesla Superchargers: evrider.tv/ford-evs-can-use-all-tesla-superchargers-starting-in-2024/

[@VanBurenOfficial]

Great information, thanks! When you car camp in it and leave the climate control on, how much charge do you lose overnight?

[@EVRider]

Going from memory: roughly 10% or less in 80+ degrees F overnight summer heat.

[@Annette_Hons]

So after owning it for over a year, would you buy it again? Or would you opt for a different EV?

[@EVRider]

Hi Annette, The quick answer is probably. The longer answer is it would depend on price and availability. There are a lot of cool EVs out there but the Mach-E continues to offer a near-ideal mix of what I was looking for. I've been quite happy with it. Once the purchase price is figured in, of all the other EVs I've personally driven or researched, the one I like the most in the sporty SUV EV category outside of the Mach-E is the Kia EV6. The EV6's biggest advantage is its faster charging speed. But Ford will soon have an advantage that trumps the Kia's faster charging here in the US now that Ford has announced it is adding Tesla Supercharger support for all current and future Mach-E owners. If you're not up to speed on that, here are the details: evrider.tv/ford-evs-can-use-all-tesla-superchargers-starting-in-2024/ And here is a review of the Kia EV6: evrider.tv/2023-kia-ev6-gt-blows-away-many-performance-cars/

[@ronedwards8239]

Rough riding compared to the competition. Batteries overheating 🥵. And if you live in place with cold winters, buy an EV with a heat pump. Also sales have tanked. But they did increase the range.

[@EVRider]

Concerning your comment about Mach-E sales "tanking," that was expected because the Mach-E's Mexico assembly plant was shutdown in January so Ford could focus on *expanding* the facility’s production capacity. Personally I've never experienced any Mach-E overheating issues, even during all-day, multiple DC-fast charges in 99-degree heat across mid-western states. So far I've put on more than 25k miles on my '22 Mach-E.

[@marksimmons7721]

Did you mean 0-60 in 3.8 you said 4.8

[@EVRider]

I have an AWD Premium, which isn't as fast as the GT and GT-Performance. 4.8 seconds is the rated 0-60 for the 2022 edition of my car's trim package.

[@mr.ohmann827]

Hi Bill, I believe I was your sons teacher.

[@EVRider]

Hi Mr. Ohmann, Nice to hear from you. You might also remember my other son attended your science camp and appreciate that he is now a chemical engineer. Thanks for being a great teacher.

[@leifandersen2756]

Hands on your wheel and your eyes in the traffic instead. of watching movies or games !

[@EVRider]

Absolutely. No one should ever attempt to do either of those things when driving. To Ford's credit those features are only available when parked.
