Reports of the Ford Mustang becoming an electric-only model have recently surfaced online, claiming that the next generation of the iconic pony car is going to be delayed until 2028, when it’s supposedly going to ditch powertrains running on petrol for ones that prefer electrons.
The report comes from
AutoForecast Solutions, a provider of automotive forecasting services, which was then shared through the
Autoline Network, predicting that the next all-new Ford Mustang is going to be an all-electric only model. This prediction was then attached to another recent report saying that the current generation is going to soldier on until 2028, when the new electric Mustang will allegedly enter production.

The Blue Oval has just started the first deliveries of the fully electric Mustang Mach-E, and the plans are in motion for the company to ramp up its EV expansion. It will do it with a raft of interesting models, including the battery Transit van or the upcoming zero-emissions F-150 pickup truck. Also, if a recent (and quite frankly) wild rumor pans out, the regular Mustang is also going down the same route.
While that might take a while, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has its days numbered, whether we like it or not. There are plenty of hints just about everywhere, from startups trying to change the entire world to legacy automakers promising an onslaught of electrified models in the (very) near future.
