But it was here on Sunday night that Ford Motor Co. unveiled its first new-from-the-ground-up fully electric vehicle, the Mustang Mach-E. The Mach-E also bears the pony badge, rather than a Ford blue oval, to drive the point home. Two electric motors independently power the front and rear wheels, and both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options will be available.
