If I do get to be part of one of the waves, and I order quickly, does anybody know how much a dealer will generally want to take as deposit? $10k? Half of the total? I want to make sure I have the money ready.
I'm having the same issue with regard to the constant refresh when I try to view my reservation. It briefly says that I have no reservations, then refreshes for 10 seconds and shows the same no reservations screen, then repeats endlessly.
The standard battery comes with the 32-amp Ford Mobile Charger. This will charger a standard battery overnight at 240V in 14 hours, which is good enough for me. What does a 48A smart charger give you other than additional amps (ie shorter charge time)? I assume the "smart" stands for something?

I don't know much about the thermal management for Ford, but the Volt's was pretty advanced, certainly for its time (ie compared to the Leaf). It only charged to 80% and discharged to 30% (at least for the 2011, they narrowed that range slightly in Gen2/3 Volts), and they also had a dedicated...
Another thing to consider is the deterioration of range over time. I have a 2011 Chevy Volt, which had a range of 35 miles (before the gas engine kicks in) when it was new. After almost 11 years, that's down to closer to 25 miles -- a 28% loss. Maybe Li-ion battery tech improvements in the...
