A longtime Mustang enthusiast is turning heads on Reddit after revealing that their eighth Mustang is also their first electric vehicle — and it's changed how he thinks about driving.
The Reddit user shared a striking photo of their 2025 Mustang Mach-E GT in the r/MachE subreddit, calling it the "quickest car I've ever had," and adding that, "it's not even close."
The post quickly drew hundreds of upvotes and comments from fellow EV owners and curious car lovers alike.

When asked what made them switch from a traditional gas-powered Mustang, the driver's answer was simple: "I was trying to reduce my fuel cost and car payment." They said the Mach-E is "beyond [their] expectations" — even after years of driving V8s.
These are some of the biggest draws for EV owners: lightning-fast acceleration and huge savings on fuel and maintenance. While gas prices fluctuate, electric charging remains steady — and drivers can save even more by charging at home, especially if they pair their EV with solar panels.
Installing solar panels is the ultimate home energy hack, potentially bringing your energy costs down to near $0. You can explore vetted solar options with the Solar Explorer and even check out subscription programs such as LightReach, which can lower your utility bill by up to 20%.

Reddit commenters were quick to cheer the post.
"May the electron pony forever keep you wild," one user wrote.
