Do you plan to keep your Mach E forever? Or, is it something that you plan to have for 2-3 years until there are more proven electric options (eg Fisker, Rivian, Lucid actually deliver cars)?

I almost always keep my cars 4-6 years. I think my current car is 6 years old and thats the longest I've had one. I also figure 5 years will be a good point when pretty much every manufacturer would have an electric out for a couple years at that point.

My personal opinion is that EVs are going to change a LOT in the next few years with a lot of competition. That said I went with 3 Years Options Plan and will reevaluate then. If it makes sense I sell / trade whatever.

Until Genesis GV60 Performance is available here. Should cost less than GT PE and looks better on the inside. Smaller battery, yes, but the 800 Volt system means super fast charging.

I usually keep cars for 8 years or so. This time I'll see what new technologies are in 5.

Honestly impossible to truly answer. My other car I've had for 9+ years, and I generally keep a car until maintenance issues make it too costly to run. Will apply the same concept to the Mach-E, unless technology advances so much its advantageous to upgrade the car. Like other posters, I'm on the 3 year Options plan, so next major decision comes at that mark (2 years, 3 months away).

My goal is to keep it 8-9 years. I have been replacing my car at around that point. I want to take any car I own right to that line where it is near the end of its life but dump it right before it starts having issues.
I will say my crosstour was the best one. The Mach E got delivered and that was right when I found out the radiator was cracked on the Crosstour.

I plan on at least 8 years. We had the Lexus RX, which the MME replaced, for 15 years.

I keep my cars a while. Hoping this one lasts me 8-10 years. Even though technology will get better, I just hope my battery still has decent range left by then. I’m babying the battery as best I can at this point.

5 years from retirement and I also a 1969 convertible. So I plan to keep it a long time unless the battery degrades badly. May replace the wife’s MKX in a few years with another BEV or PHEV.

Hard to say, but I kept my previous cars for 9-12 years. I used Ford Options to get the incentive. However, the chance to turn it in after 36 months was slim to begin with (unless we run into serous problems with the car), and it is practical none now given how quickly we have put miles on the car - at the going rate it will be ~100K miles in three years.
