The '67 Mustang is reborn electric in the UK
Made by British Charge Cars, 499 units will be produced
It's hard to talk about muscle cars without mentioning V8s, small blocks, the roar of yesteryear, generous displacements and high-octane petrol. Yet, given the times, things are changing even on the classic American sports car front.
Charge Cars, a British company with a penchant for old-fashioned coupes from the other side of the Atlantic, is well aware of this and is working on the limited edition production of 499 examples of the 1967 Ford Mustang with zero-emissions powertrain.
From Mustang to electric Mustang
The Silverstone-based company announced the project some time ago, but then, after months of intense batting, it was threatened with closure. Everything seemed destined to vanish into thin air, like a soap bubble. Now, however, thanks to the intervention of a consortium of private investors, the electric sports car made in the UK should have found the necessary funds to start production.
Just as well, since for much of 2024 the car called the Charge '67' has been touring the United States trying to break out of anonymity and look for buyers in the stars and stripes. Presented last March, the Charge '67 from Charge Cars was created by adapting the floorpan of an 'original' Mustang and, from an aesthetic point of view, introduces a few targeted changes that signal the different nature of the car.

Four engines for 536 PS
On the mechanical side, the Charge Cars Charge '67 adopts a 63 kWh lithium-ion battery providing up to 200 miles of range and powering four electric motors capable of developing a total power output of 536 PS and 1,500 Nm. Just enough to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 3.99 seconds.
So much is reminiscent of the original Ford version on the outside, so much is different on the inside. In the cabin, one notices newly designed ergonomic seats and an all-digital dashboard. The shape of the upholstery and the materials used, including some elements such as the three-spoke steering wheel, however, underline a certain link with the past.
