The current bill has “Sedans” and then Trucks, SUVs, and Vans right? I can’t imagine the Mach E falls under a sedan
I believe that but a station wagon is also not a sedan and is not listed as a class under the current bill so it’ll be interesting to see what ends up happening. I imagine Ford is working hard to get a new classification
still have to wait for reconcilibation, maybe Ford got to the senators and the sedan was added by them and will be helpful
The Mach E is an SUV according to the US government (NTHSA), the manufacturer and all competing vehicles in this size and class say it is an SUV. One place incorrectly stated it is a wagon, however, every other source says it is a SUV. It is not a wagon.
Where are you getting this that it is a wagon? According to what "official" source.
| Mustang Mach-E BEV | SUV |
Unfortunately this is what he was referencing, the below screen shot is the classification by the EPA. This was mentioned in the earliest part of this post. Before getting angry at someone who has read the previous posts and correctly quoted the entity that will determine most likely the classification of the Mustang Mach-e, dont just automatically assume that because multiple sources have called it an SUV that the Federal government won't use the "simar to epa" verbiage from the bill to classify it as the other/sedan which knocks it out of the suv ranking and thereby most of the upper end msrp folks of fully decked out Premium EX4, GT, >PE will not be eligible for the $7500 tax credit if the bill is passed by both the house and senate and becomes law.
I have said most of this before if you read the thread. Regardless…I don’t see how that one website fueleconomy.gov supersedes NTHSA the manufacturer or every reference and many more that say otherwise.Unfortunately this is what he was referencing, the below screen shot is the classification by the EPA.

But if you’re going to take fueleconomy.gov as the driver here rather than the outlier, then you need to consider that sedans are classified separately from station wagons there. As station wagon isn’t mentioned at all in the bill, there’s far greater evidence to lead to a conclusion that it will be lumped in with SUVs versus being lumped in with sedans.
As the ORIGINAL POSTER of this thread I've read every single post, which clearly you have not, nor have you actually looked at the EPA website or the convenient picture I posted a few minutes ago for you, plus way back in the the first few days when this was all originally discussed. This picture is from the EPA website. Here I've conveniently circled, in RED INK the part on the page where it says Station wagon. I too have argued the NHSTA classification (once again in the first few pages or so of the thread) but I that doesn't make what the EPA has classified it as go away.
Respectfully: This is NOT from the EPA website. It is from the official fuel economy website as my post just stated.As the ORIGINAL POSTER of this thread I've read every single post, which clearly you have not, nor have you actually looked at the EPA website or the convenient picture I posted a few minutes ago for you, plus way back in the the first few days when this was all originally discussed.

Man look the above site I've posted 2 times recently and previously as well is this link IS from the EPA. https://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy
No but there is "OTHER" which unless Ford gets a lawyer to change its classification from Station Wagon to SUV, or has its lobbyists petion to be changed then the limit will be $55,000.
I'm going to post this one more time. Please read it entirely.
It is already classified as an SUV by the US government (NTHSAj. If there is anything that Ford should do is get the fueleconomy.gov website to fix their error in calling the Mach E as a small wagon (that is 19” longer than a small SUV- the Chevrolet Trax) and be consistent with the NTHSA.
