Three driving schools in Norway and one in The Netherlands are leading a revolution in training “Generation E” learners by teaching them in Ford’s Mustang Mach-E.
For instructors and driving school owners, the vehicle’s long all-electric driving range coupled with lower operating costs make it a great addition, while its eye-catching design and sleek looks make it a head-turning advertisement for the school.
There are advantages for learner drivers too;
- Learning in the Mustang Mach-E could help them pass their driving test with fewer lessons. When taking the test in the Mustang Mach-E, drivers can utilise the driver assist technology for automatic parking and hill starts.
- Instructors can easily adjust the car’s settings according to the student's wishes, in terms of how responsive the accelerating and braking should be.
- The vehicle’s ease of use, including the large interior screen and one-pedal driving, is also attracting older learners who previously had opted not to learn to drive.
The use of electric vehicles by driving schools is even changing the way driving is taught, with instructors teaching new drivers important efficiency techniques that help to extend a vehicle’s range.
For many “Generation E” drivers – who are more often finding electric vehicles in their households – this new way of learning and the experience they have of Mustang Mach-E is helping to reinforce their belief in an electric future.
