Schedule an EV Test Drive in Memphis
Reading about electric vehicles is one thing, but feeling the instant torque of an F-150 Lightning or the whisper-quiet acceleration of a Mustang Mach-E is an entirely different experience. If you are considering the switch to electric, your next step is to get behind the wheel.
Where can I test drive a Ford EV?
You can test drive the full lineup of Ford electric vehicles, including the F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E, at Landers Ford Memphis located at 2515 Mount Moriah Rd.
Our dedicated EV specialists are available to walk you through the differences in battery ranges, demonstrate the charging process, and let you experience the vehicles on the road with no pressure to buy.
What Makes an EV Test Drive Different?
If you have only ever driven gas-powered vehicles, an EV test drive will be a revelation. Here is what you should pay attention to during your drive around Memphis:
Instant Acceleration
Unlike gas engines that have to build up RPMs and shift gears, electric motors deliver 100% of their torque instantly. The moment you press the accelerator, the vehicle responds smoothly and aggressively. Try merging onto I-240 to feel how effortless highway passing becomes.
One-Pedal Driving
Ford EVs feature an option called 1-Pedal Drive. When enabled, regenerative braking automatically slows the vehicle down as soon as you lift your foot off the accelerator, capturing energy and sending it back to the battery. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but most drivers love the seamless control it offers.
The Silent Cabin
Without the noise, vibration, and harshness of an internal combustion engine, the cabin of a Mach-E or Lightning is incredibly quiet. Take note of how easy it is to have a conversation or enjoy the premium B&O® Sound System without engine drone.
Technology and Displays
Spend time interacting with the massive 15.5-inch SYNC 4A touchscreen. We will show you how to map out a road trip, find local charging stations, and switch between distinct driving modes like "Engage" and "Unbridled."
