Ford: 87-Year-Old Switches to Electric
After many decades behind the wheel of gasoline-powered vehicles, 87-year-old Spaniard Pedro García has made a personal propulsion shift with the purchase of a fully electric Ford Mustang Mach-E. The manufacturer is pleased to note that this also proves it's never too late to look to the future. Over the years, Pedro has owned numerous Ford models, including a Sierra Cosworth, and developed a close relationship with his local Ford dealer "Auto Christian" in Alicante. They ensured that Pedro was one of the first customers in Spain to receive an electric crossover. The team from the Mediterranean port city accompanied the sprightly buyer in getting to know his new car, and thanks to his positive attitude, he was quickly able to familiarize himself with the vehicle's features and driving characteristics.
Still possible even after a long life with combustion engines
Contrary to what might be expected, Miguel Estrela, a salesperson at the Ford dealership Christian, emphasizes that Pedro confidently handles his Mustang Mach-E. He knows many younger people who would switch to electric vehicles. But the example illustrates that this transition, even after a long life behind the wheel of cars with combustion engines, is easier than believed, says Miguel Estrela.
Pedro quickly got used to charging the E-Crossover. Using a wallbox installed at his home, he simply plugs in his car at night and wakes up in the morning with a fully charged vehicle. The new car also motivated him to travel to places he hadn't visited in decades. "You can't refuse the future. You have to move with the times. The Mustang Mach-E is the vehicle of the future," says 87-year-old Pedro García. "What I like most is that I no longer have to refuel. They installed a charging option at my home where I just have to plug in a cable, a really simple and clean thing."
