Ford Mach-E: The first REAL EV by a traditional American automaker

Fully Charged Live 15% off: https://fullycharged.show/events/fully-charged-live-north-america/ This is a recap of my initial impressions of the Mach-E, Ford’s first all electric vehicle built from the ground up. Before I dive into the video I want to update you on two important events I’ll be at: 1) Tesla’s Cybertruck event this Thursday. I will do a post presentation livestream at the event to give you a behind the scenes look so make sure to go to the livestream section of my channel and subscribe to the scheduled livestream. 2) I’m going to be speaking on a panel at Fully Charged Live in Austin, Texas February 1-2 and I’d love to see you there. Fully Charged Live is a conference all about EV and some of my YouTube content creator friends will also be there. Fully Charged has given me a 15% off link to give to you if you would like to attend. The link is in the video description. I’m going to cover five areas in this video: Mach-E variants, how it compares to other EV SUVs, it’s charging network, it’s active safety features, and why the Mach-E is a really important vehicle. The presentation took place on Sunday evening and was broadcast live online - ironically in the exact same location as the Tesla Semi truck event two years ago. The presentation did feel a bit contrived as most of the people on stage appeared nervous and il-rehearsed. Aside from the awkwardness of the presentation, the car looks really great. It looks like a Ford and it looks like a Mustang. And I think it’s a really big deal Ford is risking the Mustang brand on a completely different vehicle than what Mustang fans are used to. In fact, I think aside from the Model 3 and Y, it is the best looking EV you can buy for $45K. Mach-E variants [insert chart] How it compares to other EV SUVs [insert chart] It’s fast charging network It’s good and getting better. It doesn’t quite match what Tesla offers to-date but Tesla also has a five year head start. Because most people spend most of their driving in a 50 mile radius of their home, I don’t expect this to be a major hinderance. It’s active safety features - Ford CoPilot 360 Assist 2.0 Though not as advanced as Tesla’s Full Self Driving, Ford does include key safety features like lane keep, Automatic emergency braking, and auto high beams. And why the Mach-E is a really important vehicle This is Ford’s first all electric vehicle built from the ground up. It’s a huge step for Ford and a bit of a risk using the Mustang brand to kick off their first EV. This as well is the first EV made by a traditional American car company that doesn’t look weird. I’m looking at. You Chevy Bolt. The Mach-E also is the first EV outside of Tesla and Rivian to offer an EV at 300 miles or higher. And they’ve partnered together with fast charging networks to ease concerned on long road trips. All of this tells me this is not just a compliance vehicle. Ford is serious about electrification. ************* Tesla referral code: http://ts.la/sean510 Become a Patreon supporter: https://www.patreon.com/seanmmitchell Like Tesla: http://www.youtube.com/LikeTesla Now You Know: https://www.youtube.com/nowyouknowchannel Hyperchange: TV https://www.youtube.com/hyperchangetv Teslanomics: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbEbf0-PoSuHD0TgMbxomDg Products I use: Canon 80D: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H8CWRBM/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_XHYIBb4RC08QH JOBY GorillaPod 3K Kit.
