When global car companies are accelerating the creation of pure electric models for the advent of the new energy boom, this traditional car company has silently cancelled the order for the first pure electric vehicle.
A few days ago, foreign media reported that due to the supply of parts and labor and the soaring demand for electric vehicles, Ford Motor has officially stopped accepting orders from Musicang Mach-E and can only accept inventory models from some dealers.
In fact, in the first quarter, Ford Motor corporation announced the suspension of two versions of the Mustang Mach-E, and now it is equivalent to officially stopping the production of all versions of the model, a total of four versions.
It is worth noting that when Ford announced the discontinuation of two versions of the Mustang Mach-E in January this year, it was to shift more production conditions to the upcoming Ford F-150 Lighting electric pickup truck to ensure that the car can be delivered on time.
According to data disclosed by Ford Motor, as of now, the number of F-150 Lightning bookings has reached 200,000, and the new car has recently been officially put into production.
It is understood that the current domestic production of Mustang Mach-E has not been affected, because the new car has been produced by Changan Ford.
Looking back at the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the car is the first pure electric model of Ford Motor, its design elements are derived from the Ford Mustang, with a coupe design to integrate a muscular sense, and maintain many electrified designs, making the new car more concise.
In terms of size, the car has a length, width and height of 4739/1881/1621 mm, with a wheelbase of 2984 mm, and is positioned as a medium-sized pure electric SUV.
In terms of interior, the new car uses a floating large screen with a full LCD instrument, always maintaining a simple design that echoes the appearance, after all, this is also the conventional design language of electric vehicles.
In terms of power, compared with overseas models, it supports 4 versions, and domestic models support 6 versions, including rear-drive versions and four-wheel drive versions.
The strongest power performance version of the domestic Mustang Mach-E is the GT First Edition (dual motor), with a maximum power of 359 kilowatts and a range of 492 kilometers; and the longest endurance is the long-endurance version, which can achieve a cruising range of 619 kilometers.
As the first pure electric model created by the traditional model of the United States, the most direct opponent of the car is the Tesla Model Y, but with the rising demand for electric vehicles, there are naturally more competitors.

Although the current global demand for electric vehicles has increased significantly, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, as the brand's first pure electric model, is also a series that is more well-known in the North American market, and its market demand is presumably not small.
According to some data, the Ford Mustang Mach-E has sold 27,000 vehicles in North America in one year, which is not bad.
However, with the arrival of the more competitive F-150 Lightning, it means that the brand is trying to make way for it, after all, the Ford F-series pickup truck has won the title of the best-selling pickup truck in the United States for 45 consecutive years, so manufacturers will also give more production resources to the best-selling models.
Netizen 1: It seems that the global epidemic has a great impact on the supply of parts and components and labor.
Netizen 2: Electric horse sales in North America are OK, after all, there is brand loyalty to Mustang.
Netizen 3: GT version of the mileage is only 492km, if the winter this horse does not run far ah ~
Netizen 4: I didn't expect that "Ma Si Tang" also had a day when it was sold out of stock, and I saw it for a long time!
Netizen 5: Mach-E, whether it is product strength or cost performance, is seriously underestimated.
Netizen 6: When will the convertible version come out? Smash the pot to sell iron to sell the ancestral house I also have to buy!
