Since certain parts of the country will get hit by bad weather more frequently than others, it’s only natural for certain EV customers to opt for a car that sends power to all four corners.
Ford knows this all too well, even though they’re pretty new to the EV market. Regardless, their offering comes equipped with electric all-wheel drive, where front and rear motors can distribute power to individual wheels.
So, if you’re a soon-to-be Ford Mustang Mach-E owner, you need not worry about snowy or slippery surfaces the same way you would with a front wheel driven or rear wheel driven EV.

“Mach E-s available all-wheel drive is designed to help instill driver confidence in all conditions,” said Robert Iorio, Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicle engineering manager. “The team has integrated e-drive propulsion, all-wheel-drive calibration and brake control in a way that optimizes fine motor skills to enable an immediate response in low-traction conditions and ensure the performance expected from Mustang – even in the snow.”
Ford Mach-E customers across the U.S. are frequently ticking the all-wheel drive option box, particularly those in northern and midwestern states. In fact, almost all reservations in New England involve all-wheel drive specs.
During its development, the Mach-E’s all-wheel drive system was thoroughly tested in both cold and hazardous conditions at Ford’s Smithers Winter Test Center, an 800-acre facility in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is priced from $43,895, which doesn’t include the available $7,500 federal tax incentive.
