My phev usage gave me gas anxiety. What can I do to not have that loud vibrating that thing fire up. Driving, two miles from home, home in our Volt the winter with half a battery and the outside thermometer at 15 degrees (it turned on at 14 degrees whether there was battery power or not). It is...
That is the other option. I am familiar with EV efficiency at low speeds. On our Bolt in the summer we would average 4.9 to 5.3 miles per kWh. Low speeds (under 50mph), soft acceleration, no climate control required. Same drives in the winter in single digit or low teen temps, driving like an...
Back in the beginning of ride-alongs there were reports of longer range 80 percent battery showing 320 miles (made up numbers to illustrate the point) on preproduction trucks. First, the software could have been calibrated to a different vehicle (lifted straight from a mme) or there were working...
Hopefully the use charge can be mileage and weight based. We have three cars that get a combined 15k to 18k miles per year if this charge is supposed to replace the gas tax.
**Absolutely check the weight ratings of the wheels. Check each axle weight rating (GAWR front, GAWR rear), divide by two. That is the number that you need to exceed. What will it take to get a picture of the door stickers on one of these trucks (lariat or premium please).
Does anyone know yet what the minimum wheel size is for the lightning? Will 17inch f150 wheel (assuming they have the required load capacity) fit over the brakes or are 18s the smallest that will work. Lariat ER on order...Only 6 to 10 more months of building winter wheel packages on tire rack...
If you have a good local dealer then the customer/dealer experience is great. If you are just chum in the water and they are sharks circling the direct sales model is great. We just purchased a Volvo xc40 EV. The sale would not have happened without the local dealer having a car to drive. I...
I know that Ford never promised this, but with a vehicle this large and having dual chargers available, why couldn't they be available on both left and right fenders. DC charging on one side is fine, but AC charging at home and in the community would be great if it didn't matter which side of...
