Ford Refines Electric Plans, Cuts Mustang Mach-E Price

Ford (F) may be reevaluating its electric vehicle strategy, but it’s not stepping away from the competition. A recent update shows promising improvements in the Mustang Mach-E, reflecting Ford’s commitment to the EV market.

According to Car & Driver, a significant change is the new pricing strategy. The starting price of the Mustang Mach-E has been lowered from $41,990 to $38,490. While this remains a hefty price for many, any reduction is noteworthy in the current automotive landscape.

The updated Mach-E now features a heat pump, enhancing energy efficiency during colder months. Along with cosmetic upgrades and the latest version of Ford’s Blue Cruise driver-assist technology, these additions contribute to a more appealing package for potential buyers.

Potential Supplier Changes on the Horizon

In other developments, Ford might face some changes with its suppliers. Dana, a long-standing supplier for Ford, is contemplating the sale of its off-highway operations. As reported by Automotive News, Dana’s decision could be influenced by “sluggish demand in its key markets.”

Estimates suggest that such a unit could attract “a few billion dollars” in a sale, but it’s essential to note that any potential deal is still in the early discussion stages.

Assessing Ford Stock: Is It Worth the Investment?
