2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $38,000–$50,000. This is one of the more reliable vehicles in its class — here's what to watch for anyway.

Kestrel Take

A genuinely fun electric crossover — the Mach-E GT adds serious performance (0-60 in the low 3s) to a practical, good-looking, well-executed EV. It offers ~270 miles and normal CCS charging. Verify software/recall history (there were a few, including a high-voltage-contactor recall) and battery health. A well-kept Mach-E GT with recalls done and a healthy battery is a quick, practical, appealing used EV; verify the recalls, battery, and charging.
