A recent WUSA9 report shows that Montgomery County has purchased nine Mustang Mach-Es for use by county employees, each one coasting roughly $47,000. WUSA9 did an investigation on the purchase and use of the electric vehicles after one of its viewers spotted a 2021 model Ford Mustang Mach-E being driven by a county employee inspecting a sidewalk.
When asked why the Mustang was chosen over other less expensive electric cars, Montgomery County General Services Director David Dice, who purchased the vehicles, told WUSA 9 it was because of the all-wheel-drive safety option. It is also estimated that vehicles will save the county $7,000 each, over the next six years. Dice added, “this particular unit is intended for a highway inspector, a transit inspector, we also have field inspectors with environmental protection and other departments.”
