They advertise the crap out of the MME, Ranger Raptor and Bronco Raptor in the airports though. Leonardo da Vinci di Roma–Fiumicino was full of 8ft x8ft screens and a couple Bronco's just parked in the gates.
I drove about 1000km in Italy back in June, never saw a MME.

Funny you mentioned this. We were in Italy last month, and I also only saw one MME. To be fair, It looks like Els aren't very popular in Italy. I saw a Tesla, the MME, and Audi and that was about it - and only one charging station, when we visited Milan.

In Milan, we were able to visit a BYD showroom and got to check out two of their cars. very interesting vehicles - they look modern and well-equipped.

I spent 2 weeks in Spain , Barcelona and Sieges, I only saw one EV and it was a Tesla. I guess it depends a lot on where in EU you are.

Yes it's a rare breed! During 2024 up to the end of August a total of 588 MME have been sold in Italy compared to 5.520 Tesla Model 3 and 4.938 Tesla Model Y. Since its introduction in the Italian market in 2021 a total of 3.016 MME have been sold.
FYI: the car you saw charging is form The Netherlands.
Since I own my MME I have seen less than 10 MME around Italy.

I travel to Europe a few times a year (mostly to Italy) and agree that the Mach-E is a rare EV. Many more Tesla's especially in Amsterdam. Below are a few of my recent Mach-E photos in Europe.

Rome (Piazza Venezia).

Wasn't sure what you meant then realized it must have been for the ambulance service Mach-E. I was walking towards the London bridge when that caught my eye. Probably wouldn't have seen it if it was a normal normal color.

It’s funny. One of my neighbors spent some time in Italy this summer. He said that during their stay in a place that was really nice but had no room service (due to no phones or other tech) he saw an MME with “Fully Electric Car” and other stuff emblazoned on its wrap. He thought it odd that a place with rudimentary (at best) got a visit from such a high-tech car. ??

That's interesting, Steve! I also read from Reddit that people often think the MME is an ICE vehicle, which is probably why they have to put “Fully Electric Car” on its wrap.

I'll be in the lookout for the MME on my upcoming trip to Rome. I stumbled upon this article https://gowithguide.com/blog/touris...ck-travel-guide-to-the-beautiful-country-5775 that encourages the use of sustainable transportation like walking, cycling, or use public transportation whenever possible to reduce carbon footprint and help lessen the traffic congestion of many touristy cities.
