The tax credit and the F150L by their very nature are political and to say that this forum is not political is naive. F150 lightning owners have the right to be aware of what the true price of ownership is.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the new climate and energy bill is not as environmentally friendly as we in the EV community would hope for in a bill that promotes electric vehicles. Congress had to make huge concessions to Joe Manchin for fossil fuel expansion to get him to sign off on...

Good question. The summary above says that the new credit rules apply to all EV sales starting 1-JAN-23. There are some auto manufacturers overseas that have been very important to EV development in North America that will now be locked out of the tax credit unless they start manufacturing in...

I think you guys are worried about nothing. The tax credit allows the auto manufacturers to raise prices and increase profits. Just because there is a tax credit does not mean YOU will pay any less. We know that people buying low cost trim levels will think they are getting a deal because they...

I’m curious about comment that range ratings will be coming later this summer. Does that mean the F150L will be getting a range update for 2023? I think Ford is going to have to increase range and charging speed to compete with the Silverado EV next year.

What are you talking about? The F150L will be one of the most powerful vehicles in a police fleet and will definitely be the fastest full size pickup in the fleet. An ICE may be able to travel a little farther at top speed but a F150L could still travel a couple of hundred miles at top speed and...

This is a very interesting table. Can you provide a link so we can track in real time? If you made this table yourself, where did you get the numbers from?

I have a SUV that is 17 years old but only has 90k miles. To keep miles off of my gas guzzling SUV is one of the main reasons I got into EVs. I’m on my forth EV now primary because I keep chasing the EV technology but I think the F150L technology is advanced enough that I won’t have to do that...

What planet are YOU on? Ford had to stop taking reservations at 200,000 because the lead times were getting too long. The F150 is the best selling vehicle model in the USA with over 700,000 units sold per year and that’s not going stop even when all the new F150s are electric.

According to https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxevb.shtml Ford has not yet the 200,000 mark.

There are going to be so many CCS chargers within two years because of NEVI, Tesla Superchargers will be irrelevant.

I have to say that yours is the revisionist history. Tesla wanted control, control of the charging network, control of the sales process and control of the vehicle maintenance. There is nothing altruistic about Tesla's efforts and they promised but never delivered on working with others.

Whoa Just a minute! These news articles may not be as big a deal as it sounds. The federal government is putting in $7.5B under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program. The NEVI program is going to cover 80% of qualifying charger costs. Either this Pilot program is going to be...

Tesla could have advanced EV adoption by five years if they had tried to work with other manufacturers from the beginning to develop fast charging standard but instead snub everyone and made their own customers pay for the proprietary changing system whether they used it or not. Now that CCS is...

AutoTrader actually has over 600 electric F150 Lightnings listed. If you call a few listed dealers, you might be able to find one sitting on the lot that's not marked up too much. If my financial situation didn't make it more advantageous to wait on my reservation, I would be trying to get a...

I have actually received the Texas $2,500 EV rebate twice, once on a 2015 Ford Fusion Energi and once on a 2018 Nissan Leaf. I was not able to receive the rebate when I leased my 2019 Kia Niro EV because the program wasn't funded in 2019. Since I knew I wouldn't get my F150L until 2023 or even...

Have a little faith. The Federal government is definitely going to spend the money and they have a lot of experience now managing the Electrify America build out. And remember the NEVI build out is going extend the Electrify America build out, not replace it, so we already have a pretty good...

Reading through this thread it appears that there is a lot of misconception about the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. I strongly suggest that anyone really interested in the NEVI program read through the Texas EV Infrastructure Plan...

Whoa boy, it's going to take five years to install all those chargers and by then the whole country is going to be covered with DCFC chargers. I also should mention that those 2,500 DCFC chargers are going to be install at about 500 locations with 4 to 8 chargers at each location. One thing...
