The Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the most controversial models of the Blue Oval. When they released the first advances in the form of teasers, everyone assumed that it would be called Mach 1. However, the most staunch faithful of the brand jumped on them and had to "back down". Of course, the antagonists never thought about the possibility that he would end up borrowing the name Mustang. Although this is not the only controversy...
For its development, Ford put a strong investment on the table. The result was the development of the GE 1 (Global Electrified) platform which derives, in turn, from the C2 used by the current Focus and Kuga. And although the result is really good, his commercial journey has not been free of various reliability issues. Even so, in Ford they say that it is a real success and they are not without reason, because They have manufactured a total of 150 thousand units…
Production of the Ford Mustang Mach-E started in 2020 and by 2023 it will be sold in 37 countries around the world…
In case you did not know, mass production of the Ford Mustang Mach-E started in late 2020. And it did so as a 2021 model since the first market where it was available was the United States. Well, throughout this time its production has been increasing until reaching 150 thousand units that we have indicated before. And although a priori it might seem like a lukewarm success, we must point out that it has not exceeded the average estimates.
Yes, because although this information is no longer a dogma of faith, the breakeven point for a vehicle is situated in some 100 thousand units per year. Therefore, this end of 2022 marks its second year in production and therefore its annual numbers would remain at, on average, 75 units. Even so, in October the firm delivered a total of 6.261 units in the US which represents an increase of 120% compared to the same month of October 21.
Still, Although Mustang Mach-E sales aren't brilliant, they're steady. In fact, production has been moved to a second assembly center. The one that inaugurated its history was the one in Cuautitlán Izcalli (Mexico) and a few months ago it started production in Chongqing, China. In addition, for the year 2023 It will be available in 37 countries worldwide, up from 22 when it hit the market in 2020..
However, the business cycle of the Ford Mustang Mach-E still has a long way to go. Being the first is not easy but it is also the cornerstone for a annual electric production of 600 thousand units by the end of 2023. We will have to see what happens with the rest of the electric vehicles that Ford launches on the market, but reaching 150 vehicles produced and sold at such a difficult time is indeed a success...
