According to a report by Jeff S. Barlett via Consumer Report, the Ford Mustang Mach-E takes the spot as the Top EV Pick of the Year for 2022, and it beat last year's Tesla Model 3 in the spotlight. The independent organization's metric system combined different criteria for this, including its performance, comfort, and overall value for money. 

These kinds of reviews are something that users need to know before choosing and buying their EVs, as cars are as much of an investment as it is a liability. Consumer Report gives a point in why the Mustang Mach-E is the preferred vehicle now, despite the many choices as the top EV of this year. 

CR said that Ford's take on its first electric vehicle combines "fun driving" and an eco-friendly version of the favorite muscle car namesake.

Tesla vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Tesla and Ford rivalry for electric vehicles has been a long-running debate since the release of the first Mustang Mach-E in the market. It cannot be helped as Ford's brand loyalty, and fans claim that the vehicle is superior to Tesla, focusing on its "American" branding to which Ford is more prominent and legitimate. 

There came a time when Ford's spokesperson Mike Levine said that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature is a "vaporware" and that it rips people off with extra payments for it. However, several fans from Ford have been proven wrong for their brand loyalty as the Tesla Model 3 initially beat the company with its performance. 

Ford initially said that Tesla's batteries are "no good for the company" and remain unimpressed by its technology.  

Nevertheless, the rivalry between both companies lies only on the Mustang Mach-E and the Model 3, but soon it will reignite with the availability of electric pickup trucks. 

For now, Ford and the Mustang EV are relishing their spot as the top EV pick of the year, courtesy of Consumer Reports, for the first time since it got its release.
