Ford found a use for all those unsold Mustang Mach-Es.
The automaker is finally allowing its dealers to rent out the electric crossover, as per a notice seen by CarsDirect. The notice only applies to 2023 Mustang Mach-Es, and not the 2024 models (which I don’t think is even out yet).
To be sure, Ford has a contentious relationship with some of its dealers over EVs. Roughly half of Ford’s dealers say they don’t want to spend up to $1.2 million on upgrades to sell EVs. Also, allowing dealers to rent out the Mach-E is a potential solution to inventory issues that have been plaguing Ford. People don’t want to buy your flagship EV because it’s too expensive, or charging sucks? Maybe they’ll want to rent it instead!
