Ford said it has officially filled all advance orders for the First Edition Mustang Mach-E, a limited version of the Detroit automaker’s first long-range battery-electric vehicle.

Unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, the Mach-E will be offered in five different versions, with prices starting at $47,000 and pushing up towards $70,000 for a GT version expected to be as fast as a Porsche 911 GTS. But it’s the upcoming Tesla Model Y that Ford’s electric SUV will most directly take aim at…

Ford was an early proponent of battery propulsion, launching a mix of hybrids, plug-ins and pure BEVs. But the Mach-E is its first long-range model, with versions ordered with an optional battery pack expected to get more than 300 miles per charge – though final EPA testing has not yet been completed.
