Nigel drives a Mustang Mach-E Extended Range AWD 2022 electric car.

This is Nigel’s first electric car, he’s owned the Mach-E from new and drives 10,000-15,000 miles annually. The current mileage of the car is between 1,000-5,000 miles and he achieves 280 miles range from a full charge.

Why did you choose the Mustang Mach-E?

One of the things that first drew me to this car was the badge, an electric car with the iconic Mustang badge was controversial but I definitely think it worked. The styling is fantastic, I love the lights, the push button door opening, the illusion of looking like a coupe with the piano black roof, there have been so many great design choices going in to this car. I was also impressed with the mileage that this car achieves, I am not sure I will get to the 335 range that Ford suggests but I have had 296 out of it even though I use its acceleration to the full.

The instant power from electric cars would be very hard to move away from again. I also love how few of these I see on the road, it’s a definite head turner for both pedestrians and other drivers. Despite the controversy of the name, other ICE Mustang drivers wave or acknowledge me all the time, my Mach-E has definitely been accepted into the stables!

Positives

• Styling
• performance
• range.

Negatives 

• Limited seat adjustments
• no button on the remote to open the frunk
• Ford badge on the windscreen.

Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?

The only issue I have had is the door opening actuator on the passenger door, it should push the door open when you press the button. New part is on order.

• 15.5 inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay
• intelligent adaptive cruise control that keeps to the speed limits
• B&O sound system

Tell us something people wouldn’t readily know about this electric car.

Keypad entry so you can open the car without the keys or lock keys inside if going for a run or swim so you don’t damage or lose them.

What electric car are you interested in next and why?

Mustang Mach E GT – my current car is amazing, why not just go for more power and active suspension or an Audi e-tron, as I think it looks gorgeous.

Home charging unit 

Alfen Eve from Hive – hardly used it so far but works very well.

Electricity supplier & tariff 

British Gas – variable rate

What public charging networks would you recommend to others and why?

IONITY and Pod Point – both seem fast and reliable.

Insurer

Ford – was nearly best price and offered good features. Probably recommend them but not used them for anything yet so hard to say.
