Some people actually drive their cars more than to and from work in a given day, such as myself, and when there are few charging options at various destinations, it’s a problem.
I’m turning my MME in because I’m tired of dealing with it. My situation isn’t exactly like your typical EV owner living in a single family residence, but my experience would be similar to how a person living in a multi-unit building without available charging would be.
Fair enough.
Yes when the dealership is an hour drive away I will avoid that trip. Phone call - tried that. Hard to explain over the phone what I'm looking for. Email photo - no reply in a week. Seems to me this day and age I could find a schematic and order a part and have it delivered in a week tops. Can do it for everything else I own and operate - apparently not for a square piece of plastic. Rubber and construction adhesive it is until I need to take it to the dealership for something......
That got me thinking about actual interior room like hip and shoulder width and leg room.
Looking at Maverick vs Supercrew Ranger, those dimensions are almost the same so
maybe one BEV could cover both of those….
On T3 F150, it will be interesting to see if they retain the generous hip and shoulder width,
that would make keeping the the current external width dimension of 79” but we’ll see…..
Agree but also adding improved battery tech to existing Lightning as they become available doesn’t hurt either.
If anything, that would buy more time for T3 while growing existing buyer pool. Ford has lots of choices here.
I was also impressed to learn that hybrids now make up 25% of F150 sales, Ford hitting its marks with buyers.
The 6 foot bed option you mentioned seems like a no brainer…I’d also like to see that on the crew cab Ranger.
Given how the weather has been around here in the winter, the impact of cold temps (freezing) would be almost negligible. If you can charge at home, does it really matter if you only get 150 miles or so of range-unless your driving an hour and half or so to work?
One of my coworkers has a Bolt and they don't even have level two charging at home because they don't drive that much.
They’re kind of forced to because of the production situation. If they were able to give Expy/Navi their own plants again they could be more aggressive.
