Pull-through chargers are available and are majority of newer DCFC these days
We just arrived at our snowbird location and while driving down we noticed numerous trucks filling up at gas stations with large RVs hooked up behind. Commented to my wife that EV charging stations don't have the ability to leave the RV hooked up. Today, it mostly means unhooking, charging, and hooking back up assuming there is a place you can temporarily park the RV. Even if the EV trucks improve dramatically, the charging stations will need to improve also.
Why are you so mean? Your first comment was unnecessary.
The Big battery Silverado EV and Rivians can tow a lot more than 100 Miles. I don't know where you are getting your information.
Because GM built a dedicated EV, it performs better than Ford's non-dedicated EV platform (Bigger battery, Faster charging, and greater efficiency).
To be fair, I do see where he's coming from. There are two main issues with larger evs; high costs, limited ranges, especially when towing. Significantly cheaper, more advanced battery tech rectifies these issues to a degree. As EV tech continues to improve, it stands to reason it'll withstand demanding conditions like towing better than today's current EVs. If dollar per KWH costs continue with this significant downward trajectory, in 5, 10, 15 years, a large battery won't be anywhere near as cost prohibitive as it is today.
I personally believe this EREV thing is a temporary thing for a generation or two of f-150s until battery tech improves enough to produce a future all electric f-150 that's actually profitable.
Some promising news for EVs of the future, especially if this trend continues. I'd bet good money large Ford EVs make a return after a generation gap or two.
I don't see EREV as a permanent solution, just as the best option with current constraints until battery tech and costs improve significantly, which we know they will. Ford is definitely gonna bring back a full f-150 electric once the battery cost starts to make sense.
That would be my concern too, lower margins basically the same as Edge, Escape, Fusion etc., while selling at lower volume most likely!
So what was the point of dropping all of these other vehicles?
Hope I am wrong about all of this though!
