It didn’t take long for American carmaker Ford to move from the official unveiling of its first electric SUV to the preferred type of market launch by EV makers: online configurators and reservation websites.
As hinted ever since last week, Ford has all the things it needed in place to start selling the Mach-E Mustang one year before the car actually starts rolling assembly lines. And it is now started selling, provided customers pay a $500 refundable reservation deposit.
People from both the U.S. and Europe can express their interest in the electric Mustang this way, but then they will have to wait for about a year before finalizing their configuration.
For now, the Ford website offers the choice of five Mach-E variants: First Edition, Select, Premium, Califronia RT.1 Edition, and GT. The GT is of course the most expensive, at $60,500, at we chose this just to see how expensive the car gets.
Well, the stock GT only comes with one battery configuration, extended range (250 miles), and all-wheel-drive. Ford charges no extra for the exterior colors it offers (seven in all), and only hands the GT with Miko inserts and Copper Metallic stitching interior. None of them cost an extra buck.
That means for now, for all intents and purposes, the most money you can pay for a Mach-E is $60,500.
And the cheapest, you might ask?
Well, the entry-level is the Select, starting at $43,895, but you can keep topping that up to $47,195 if you go for the standard range battery with all-wheel-drive and a fancy color named Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.
Keep in mind to deduct from all the above prices the $7,500 EV tax credit in the U.S. You can do the same in Europe as well, for a value that depends on each country. Also, Ford will propably add some more extra features soon.
