An extremely happy owner of 2021 Job1 MME and a 2022 Lightning. Still own a 2017 convertible Mustang.
I traded my Explorer for the Lightning. The MME was my first EV. First adaptor and I was constantly nagged about what terrible things could happen to me driving an EV. Family , friends and the dealer which I ordered it to be delivered looked at me that something was wrong with my mental reasoning. My reasons were plenty. Wars in the Middle East, crude oil going to $100, hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico, pipeline explosions and other fuel shortages due to geopolitical tensions.
No more. Both my EVs cost me $40 - $60 a month on a regular usage.
Now after 3 1/2 years the questions pour in, and I answer all of them. As long as are genuine questions, I answer them as best I can. The limitations are that most of the people don’t like or best resist change until it is inevitable. Some resist the change all the way to their graves.
I am staying with my EVs.

I purchased my Lightning for mainly economic reasons as I was driving a 2016 expedition EL that was averaging about 16 miles to the gallon. I am saving at least $2500 to $3000/year or more depending on how you calculate the cost of solar power. I am using 20 years for my calculations but the system should last 30 to 40 years and is under warranty for 25 so I am being very conservative.
Since I have been driving it daily I do not see any reason to go back to ICE. I absolutely love driving my Lightning!
