No one knows the battery size yet but I think insidevs estimated it at 155kwh usable 180kwh total for the extended range. Either way the Ford marketing materials seem up front about this truck being relatively slow to charge compared to other products on the market. I think the infographic...

I was given an unsupported rumor from someone working in the auto industry today about all of this. It seems a little too detailed to be true. I figured I would share it here: Apparently Ford is scrambling to make sure the Lariat is well within whatever EV credits congress passes. They want to...

Yet hilariously kind of obscure and hard to get to this stream if you weren't hardcore looking for information.

The major issue with level 2 chargers is that there's little to no incentive to keep them in good repair. Unlike DC chargers they're not "critical" . Once the tax credit has been claimed many places make them handicap spots or abandon them. Unless you're in a place with super high EV adoption...

By the way on the Virginia side folks have been getting mixed messages from Ted Britt. Some employees say yes dealer markup and others no. Nothing in writing.

And here's a prime moment where Ford can differentiate themselves from the competition in EVs moving forward. Just by announcing this officially they would be leagues ahead of the competition in communication. One can hope.

Same boat here, our plan would be to get a model Y this year and then the F150 hybrid next. It sucks because it just brushes up against too expensive for someone that doesn't need (but optionally could use from time to time) the bed and towing (even if short range). That's the weird Achilles...

I guess my big concern is there will be a lot of disillusioned people that are very uninformed and angry the new F150 can't do what the pictures show. Aside from the cult of elon and Tesla a lot of the reason EV people are defensive is because misinformation plagues the industry. Some...

I do wonder if they have the range extender or something up their sleeve for 2022 or 2023 since most people who know about EVs know the marketing material showing an airstream is at best grossly exaggerated. What would compel the Ford marketing team to show off images of this thing towing? Why...

So I registered for the forum because the YouTube engineering master himself has an explanation about the physical limitation EVs have with towing. The problem is independent of the vehicle involved and is more of a function of the thing having a rechargable battery.
