The Mach-E balances performance and practicality at ~3 mi/kWh. Versus a 26-mpg gas crossover, the per-mile fuel cost is much lower, and home charging makes the difference feel like filling up for pennies.
Performance trims drive efficiency down, so if you'll spec a GT, model a lower mi/kWh. For a standard Mach-E on home charging, the savings against gas are healthy.
What to keep in mind
- ~3 mi/kWh — clear fuel-cost win over a comparable gas crossover.
- Performance versions use more energy; adjust the efficiency if you go fast.
- Home charging is the key to the cheapest cost per mile.
