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.
