Ford Australia has dropped the price of the Mustang Mach-E by up to $7000

  • 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Select: $72,990 (-$7000) (This is the pick of all the models in my opinion)
  • 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium: $86,990 (-$4675)
  • 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT: $104,990 (-$2675)

State EV Rebates

  • Queensland = $6000
  • South Australia = $3000
  • Western Australia = $3000
  • Tasmania = $2000

Power/Torque

  • Mustang Mach-E Select RWD: 198kW / 430Nm
  • Mustang Mach-E Premium RWD: 216kW / 430Nm
  • Mustang Mach-E GT AWD: 358kW / 860Nm

Battery Chemistry

  • Mustang Mach-E Select: 71kWh LFP Battery (Can be charged to 100% repeatedly with little degradation occurring)
  • Mustang Mach-E Premium: 91kWh NMC Battery (Likes to be charged to ~80 - 90% day to day, only charging 100% for long journeys)
  • Mustang Mach-E GT NMC 91kWh Battery (Likes to be charged to ~80 - 90% day to day, only charging 100% for long journeys)

Know your battery packs! LFP vs NMC

I'd recommend educating yourself. Youtube is a good place to start.
This is another reason why I would choose the Mach-E Select grade over the others.

LFP has no cobalt or nickel. See how this stuff is mined and by who (its done by children in a lot of cases).
LFP can be charged to 100% over and over again with little degradation occurring.
LFP has heavily reduced thermal runaway issues

Range

  • Mustang Mach-E Select: 470km
  • Mustang Mach-E Premium: 600km (When you factor in that you need to limit day to day charging to 80% on the NMC battery fitted to this car, it's the same day to day range you would get in the cheaper Select model. You just have the option of longer range on the odd occasions you charge up to 100%)
  • Mustang Mach-E GT: 490km

For people looking for an EV SUV that is similar in size/price/equipment to the Model Y, but don't want to buy a Tesla, this has now jumped to second place in my humble opinion.

Mustang Mach-E Select grade seem to be the one to go for as it comes just as fully equipped as the Model Y RWD, with a few extra things you can't get in the Tesla like:

  • Blind Spot Monitoring
  • Park Assist
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Surround View Camera
  • Apple CarPlay
  • Android Auto
  • FordPass connectivity included for free (Tesla ask you to sign up to the $9.99 a month subscription)

There are extended wait times across Ford's model range. Please contact your local Ford Dealer for updated information on current availability.

      US fuel cost .88c/litre vs AUS $1.30 (both in US$) has to be very relevant. If the US started paying similar prices to most of the rest of the 1st world, I reckon things would be very different.

      Not really; the Mach E is currently the 2nd best selling EV in the entire US market behind the Tesla Model Y.

      It's true that sales rates have slowed, but that's true of pretty much every category of vehicle in the US at the moment. It's just indicative of fewer people spending on more expensive vehicles.

      US Ford dealerships have been trying to charge extortionate prices for their stocked Mach E's - many thousands of dollars above RRP. In addition, many dealers have not bothered to train their staff on EV's in general. Unsurprisingly, many Americans have chosen other models instead.

    • Stivo on 07/12/2023 - 16:24

      Just the E-stang or all EVs?

  • hopper on 07/12/2023 - 15:38

    One of the biggest advantage that ford has is that it has dealers all over melb, where can they turn couple of parking spots to charging points, but they didn't and they expect EV market to pump up automatically 🤔
    On other hand tesla needs to rent a spot setup from scratch.

    • dji1111111 on 07/12/2023 - 16:13

      Dealer? What dealer? The whole advantage of Tesla is you don't need a dealer. Hell, you rarely even have to go into the service centre

      • hopper on 07/12/2023 - 17:09

        I know, but they already have those locations. I'm saying they can use few parking spots at those locations as charges and still earn money and also improve charging infrastructure.

    Range would be woeful in real world conditions. I bet the efficiency is lower than model 3.

    I am however impressed by cheap capped price servicing and their unlimited km warranty 5 years.

    However that battery will fall apart after 8 years. Car will be worthless after 8 years just like every other electric.

    Does it have matrix headlights for 72k?

    • drprox on 07/12/2023 - 16:52

        Model S is higher price as it's not made or available in Australia anymore.

        I suppose if a manufacturer can put a instrument cluster and stalks on a car and stop doing it later, it can increase the value of the first car.

        If they stop making the Model 3 in the future I am sure the value will go up.

  • GordonD on 07/12/2023 - 15:57

    The price has been reduced because manufacturers are having more trouble selling EVs to Americans then they expected and hoped. A tough economic environment has made Americans reluctant to pay for expensive cars.

    • placard on 07/12/2023 - 16:13

      Or their petrol is still far too cheap.

      • Stivo on 07/12/2023 - 16:26

        This is a stupid argument. Not like the price just tanked…. Ford knew what they were competing with and should have made it cheaper….

    • UltimateAI on 07/12/2023 - 16:16

      That is not what the sales data says. A few of the traditional automakers are having difficulties moving their EVs, however the data points to continued growth in EV sales in the US. US is still experiencing high growth of EV sales (albeit slowing growth) and consumers are pushing back on crap \ expensive products.

  • jar-unit on 07/12/2023 - 15:59

    Still more expensive than the Model Y. I think the Model Y is a better deal and likely price will continue to drop early next year.

      Commiserations to the early adopters who are watching their residuals dropping like a stone,

      It's not like they were buying cheap runabouts, early EV adopters were paying 80k+ for cars.

      A petrol BWM/Merc of that era will have depreciated just as badly; maybe even worse.

      • Naigrabzo on 07/12/2023 - 16:38

        Yes EV average depreciation is 50% at 5 years. Most expensive Mercs/BMW etc are similar.

        I can't wait to see the 8-10 year data…. :)

        Exeption is Porche 911 which is resistent to depreciation.

    • Stivo on 07/12/2023 - 16:42

      They are EVs. They will tank in value after 8-10 years when the replacement battery costs more to replace then a used ICE car.

      • dji1111111 on 08/12/2023 - 10:32

        Given that I'm saving around 8k per year in tax benefit, fuel savings and servicing cost savings, i don't think I really care too much about depreciation on my 70k purchase lol
        Let's not even factor in how much of a better experience it is in ownership and driving compared to my old audi

        • Stivo on 08/12/2023 - 11:24

          I hesitate to ask why it was costing you more $8k to run your Audi (given that there is still a cost for electricity to run the BEV). My BMW costing under $3k including fuel.

          • dji1111111 on 08/12/2023 - 11:30

            @Stivo: Err? You are not reading my post correctly?
            Around 5.5k is in tax savings, not running costs.
            Probably around 2-3k in petrol and 1k in maintenance.
            Lol electricity cost? I already have a 7.7kwh solar panel system which has already paid itself off before i got my EV. I only charge using solar with some free charging through couple of free public chargers near me occasionally. It costs me next to nothing. Probably spent all of 100 bucks to run the car for the last 14000km

            • Stivo on 08/12/2023 - 12:04

              @dji1111111: Fair enough. But those tax savings would probably apply to any new car which is salary scarified, no?

              • dji1111111 on 09/12/2023 - 13:11

                @Stivo: No, only for EVs because they are FBT exempt. Salary sacrificing ICE cars and paying FBT is pointless

    • klaw81 on 07/12/2023 - 16:52
      +1

      "Performance" is a relative term.

      The Select base model is lively for a car its size, with 198kW and 0-100kmh in just over 7 seconds. That's quick for a family car, but not really high performance in real terms.

      The high-end GT model is considerably more powerful, with 358kW and does 0-100 in half the time at 3.5 seconds. For reference, that's the same performance as the Dodge Viper from 2017, or last year's Aston Martin Vantage V12.

      Having said that, straight line speed from a standing start is only one measure of vehicle performance. The Mach E is definitely not built for high-speed racetrack cornering and is better described as a sport-luxury touring car.

      • backupper1 on 07/12/2023 - 17:30

        looks like Select is a regular EV in relative comparison to its ICE equivalent which are road legal rockets.
        With Mustang branding it seemed that this is an extremely good value at 72k but not that case with actual performance starting at 86k.
        I checked the dimensions, they are normal SUV levels not like RAM etc either.

          You only pay tax and get tax breaks if you make money and those grants are no longer generous.

          Think you're stuck in the the past with prices. 70k is price for mid/upper spec fords/toyotas etc. If you dont like you it there's the disposable great walls available and other options at much less.

          Maybe some people value the new interior with large screen, power, towing ability, seating for 4/5 in comfort, room to move things as important. I have a raptor and am am not a tradie and dont get any tax breaks.

          Ultimately depends on your budget and lifestyle, some would consider 7k a lot for a car.

    - Driving within Sydney
    - occasional work drive from Northwest to North Sydney
    - just charging at home
    - no solar at home
    - charge only at midnight to 6 am using OVO ($0.08/kwh rate) most of the time.
    - I charge on the $0.34/kwh rate occasionally before long drives
    - charge at malls for free sometimes but it has become impossible lately due to many people charging
    - just starting to utilize and charge on the free 11 am - 2 pm electricity of OVO

    Damm starting to see lots of 100k SUBs running close to 0-100 3.5!

    That's pretty nuts, it would be double at least for any European SUV like that!

    I know, most don't care 🤣

      Yes, it's possible due to electric motor providing continous torque with no gear changes etc. Just need fat tyres to grip the road.

    There is no way a car that size with a 71kwh battery is doing 470km. This is also just a price adjustment right given they aren't even on the roads? Still prices down is good.

    I'd grab a BYD Seal premium because don't care what others think.

      Your are correct. There is absolutely no way this car has range of 470km in the real world. WLTP is just a dream.

      My guess is maximum 360km.

      Highway would be 280km.

      0.28 Cd will eat away it's range.

      Does it have battery conditioning?

        Yep aero matters. Really hoping we see a return to proper estate/wagons as part of the EV transition as a result and a reduction in monster truck sized cars (though they'll all weigh as much..)

    Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against electric cars and see them as a net positive but something about calling an electric crossover vehicle a Mustang just seems…wrong.

    If just one of these companies would actually give me vehicle to home (grid not required) id seriously consider them.

    I know the cybertruck is in the US so hopefully that will push others to hurry up.

      Doesn't the ioniq 5 have this?

      • drprox on 07/12/2023 - 17:15

        yep the actual problem is no states/grids here support it. Think the Byd's have it too. I did think they had it in SA…

        It has vehicle to load only I think (at least in Australia), which is just plugging something into the car.

        I want to plug my car into my charger and run the whole house, instead of buying a Powerwall or similar.

        • Naigrabzo on 07/12/2023 - 17:37

          This is a nice dream but it would cause faster battery degradation due to increased cycles. You'd also hope that the car has excellent battery conditioning for hot days.

      Once hopes that this never happens while it's parked in your own garage. Low risk though. But if it happens, call those fire guys from Poland who put it out. No one here will be able to.

      Electric cars catch fire far less often than ICE cars. Are you concerned about your current car catching fire?

      The FUD around electric car fires would be hilarious, if it didn't lead to such dumb policy decisions.

      • trevor99 on 07/12/2023 - 17:13

        Sure it's somewhat rare but when it goes … run. Upwind.

        Potential to wipe out a carpark or a ferry. It's why some ferries in Norway are now refusing electric cars and hybrids.

          ICE cars already have the same potential, and the prevalence is some 20 times higher.

          See the recent fire at Luton Airport carpark, which was started by a diesel Range Rover, quickly spread to other levels and ended up damaging 1500 vehicles and the entire structure.

          The Fremantle Highway ship fire was also caused by an ICE vehicle (exact identity remains unknown, but confirmed not to be electric) and damaged or destroyed about 2800 vehicles.

          The Norway ferry company is an outlier, and a good example of knee-jerk reactions leading to dumb policy. They will end up having to lift their ban - EVs are quickly becoming the norm in Scandinavia, and ferries who turn away a large percentage of potential customers will slowly find themselves without a viable business model.

            @klaw81: No, EV fires are far worse because they produce their own oxygen in "thermal runaway".

            Firefighters let them burn.

            Only a matter of time until a catastrophe in an enclosed area or the like.
