Ford hikes the price for the 2023 Mustang Mach-E by as much as $8,000 - The Verge

The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is going up in price across all trim levels by as much as $8,000. The automaker is citing rising materials costs as well as supply chain disruptions.

Ford is raising the price of the 2023 Mustang Mach-E a few weeks after doing the same to its other major EV, the F-150 Lightning.

The automaker announced that it was reopening the order banks for the popular electric SUV with an adjusted MSRP (manufacturer suggested retail price) that reflects “significant material cost increases, continued strain on key supply chains, and rapidly evolving market conditions” — the same reason it gave for hiking the price on the F-150 Lightning.

Here’s a breakdown of the new prices, with the model year 2022 price in parentheses:

Ford excluded destination and delivery fees, but those have typically increased as well to as much as $1,200 per vehicle. So customers will pay at least $50,000 for the cheapest Mach-E.

The automaker is trying to sweeten the deal by offering its Co-Pilot 360 advanced driver-assist technology as standard across all trim levels. There are two new colors: carbonized gray and vapor blue. And Select model buyers can have Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driver-assist feature for a complimentary 90-day trial period.
