The Ford Mach-E is out in the open now<\/a>, but only one edition was shown; and there will clearly be a whole range, from the base rear drive economy model (to get that 300 mile range) to the high-performance AWD version (to get those \u201ctarget 3 seconds\u201d 0-60 times).<\/p>\n

Perhaps other editions of the Mach-E are still being tested under camouflage; reader Mike Driehorst spotted this one last night near Detroit.<\/p>\n

\"FordWe added arrows and legends, so don\u2019t blame Mike.<\/em><\/p>\n

Like past Mach-E prototypes, it has a fake tailpipe, and what appear to be old-style Ford grille slats underneath the front camouflage\u2014but the vehicle is far too close to other sightings of the Mach-E for us to still be fooled. That\u2019s one reason why the camo goes under the rear bumper, to hide the electric bits.<\/p>\n

Ford isn\u2019t actually going to make these for quite a while, and Chevrolet is also lining up a battery-electric performance crossover; the latter probably won\u2019t be marketed with such flair, though. The \u201cMustang inspired\u201d (at least in the tail-lights) Mach-E made a splash partly because of the link to the muscle car. Chevrolet has Camaros, Corvettes, and a panoply of past performance cars; will they try to link to those, or let reporters compare their new crossover to the Volt?<\/p>\n

The first high-performance crossover, made by Jaguar, sold out practically as soon as it hit the market, so it\u2019s a segment inviting more competition. Tesla has its Model Y coming up, and a long list of other automakers are coming soon afterwards. Today there\u2019s one electric crossover; in two years, the Mach-E will be just one in a flooded field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
