The Truth about EVs and
opinion on the Mustang Mach E GT
by Lyndon Conrad Bell
EVs have a terrible problem, one about which you may not have heard. A
truth about them is being kept from you, and it absolutely stands to
impact the way you think about electric cars.
Some exceptionally powerful organizations have a vested interest in
keeping this fact about electric cars away from you in the hopes they
can surreptitiously sway your opinion about them
Maybe you’ve seen this photograph below on Facebook. It shows hundreds
of electric cars abandoned in a field. The caption explains they are
sitting there unwanted because they failed, they’re too expensive to fix
and their battery packs are leaking toxins into the earth.
It’s a lie.
That photo actually shows cars that belonged to a Parisian rideshare
service that went defunct. They are being sold off and recycled for
parts. The battery packs have been removed and are being reused.
As market acceptance of EVs like this Mustang Mach-E GT has gathered
momentum, so too have disinformation campaigns by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) and other similar organizations on behalf of oil
companies.
The goal is to sow and reinforce doubt in an effort to slow the adoption
of technology capable of helping us minimize the effects of climate
change and enjoy a healthier future.
Why? Because the people running the companies behind the API know EVs
have the potential to disrupt—if not decimate—the petrol-based business
model.
Meanwhile, this Mach-E GT is way fun to drive (0 to 60 in under four
seconds), will travel just under 300 miles on a full charge and is FAR
less costly to operate than a ICE-powered vehicle with the same
performance potential.
What’s more, the Mach-E GT’s well-crafted interior is outfitted with
sumptuous materials and all the modern tech you could possibly desire,
including a remarkably effective semi-autonomous drive mode Ford calls
BlueCruise.
It’s also spacious enough to readily accommodate four people, while
simultaneously transporting more than a decent amount of cargo beneath a
hatchback that provides easy access.
And yet, disinformation campaigns continually cite half truths and
outright lies about EVs in an effort to keep you mainlining petroleum.
Well,
here’s the unvarnished truth.
You’ll be more than pleased with the way the Mustang Mach-E GT handles
its business, especially if you love to drive. You’ll also be pleasantly
surprised to learn how easy living with it can be, particularly if you
have the ability to fast charge it at home. This makes using an EV as
simple as using a smart phone. You plug it in at night and wake up to an
ample charge the next morning.
And, having tested more than a few EVs, I can tell you firsthand they
don’t skyrocket your utility bill.
Plus, you’ll drive a car that’s smooth, powerful, quiet and contributes
far less to the eventual decimation of the Earth.
Are EVs 100% pollution-free?
No.
But they ARE way cleaner than petroleum-powered vehicles. Don’t be
swayed by those whose P&L statements are heavily dependent upon keeping
you away from the truth.
And folks, EVs like the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT are most assuredly The
Truth.
I’ve seen the future.
It’s electric.
