I believe the adaptor will only be for current Ford EV Owners. Future Ford Vehicles, I believe, will only have the NACS aka Tesla connector.

It is real. I listened to the Jim Farley - Elon chat today. Ford is going to ditch CCS and go to NACS starting 1st quarter of 2024. At the same time Tesla will open up 12,000 SuperCharger PODS to existing Ford EV drivers....using an adaptor. This is huge news. The move to NACS is on.

The Silverado would be a Lighting killer ONLY if they actually meet the range promised. AND if they built more than 2. AND if it doesn't cost $120,000. GM might build a handful of 450 mile range Silverados, at the same price they are charging for the Hummer. Who wants to spend $120K?

But Mary lead.

I hear ya. GM has only DELIVERED 1000 Lyriqs in the last 12 months. GMC delivered 2, count em, 2 Hummers in the first quarter of 2023. I don't watch much TV, but I have seen ads for both....so the cost of advertising them has to be more than what they sold the vehicles for. Doesn't make...

A lot of buyers will feel the same. The CyberTruck styling, and no color choices, won't be for everyone.

My guess is the 2nd Gen Lightning does not have to go Toe to Toe with the CyberTruck. The styling of the CyberTruck is not for everyone. Heck, some buyers actually will want to pick their favorite color! Yes the T-3 will need to be competitive in things like range, features, etc, but the...

Where can GM build the EV Silverado in volume? They barely build any Hummers and Lyriqs. How will GM build a lot of Silverados??

The thing is....EA doesn't really care. Whether they have happy customers/users is not that important to them.

I could go on and on about Electrify America. (Sometimes their PODs do work, but when first pulling up there is always that feeling that I am asking the black jack dealer to hit me....but don't drop a face card and bust me) Electrify America is still controlled by Volkswagen of America, which...

Maybe some tweeks....like in the 2024 F150 ICE....but I would guess not much change. Behind the curtain, the SK Innovation builds the batteries for Ford, so it is possible SK Innovation makes small tweeks to their chemistry, but my guess it won't be significant. Battery manufacturers like SK...

And the Biden Administration IRA money for Charging Stations is going to take several years to make it thru the process to the states, and then turn into Charging PODs we can use. Plus, there is a restriction that the PODS paid for with the Federal Money must be within 1 mile of an exit off a...

I would guess Ford will "sell" 100,000 Lightnings in 2023. They MAY have the capacity of 250,000 in 2024 but will there be enough buyers at the current price? Getting a Lariat, extended range battery, makes for an expensive truck. I know, I know, a loaded ICE truck can be pricey, but...

I actually do know those facts about Lithium, but I realized at the time it was a waste of my time to point that out to her. Some people (my brother) still think if you charge your EV in New York State you are using electricity generated by dirty coal fired plants. When in fact, NY State has...

I hope: a) the tech does pan out.... as most know Tesla thought they would take a big step forward with their 4680 batteries. While they work well in the lab in small batches, producing them at scale without a lot of rejects ain't easy. Amprius' tech will face the same challenges. b)...

"The FUD out there about electric vehicles is astounding. " The person that cuts my hair said....."I would never get an Electric Vehicle, because those batteries throw off a lot of lithium dust, and it is very toxic. It will make you really sick." Palm to face.

At 10,000 miles get them to replace as many modules as you can! LOL The good news is the design allows modules to be replaced. Other EVs it is infinitely harder. Good luck!

Based on my experience, on prior F150s I have owned, I don't find any difference. Tires are the place to focus if you want to increase efficiency slightly.

Thanks Tom! I am looking to buy a Mobile charger for my Lightning. Is the Webasto still a top rated alternative?

He should have tried driving from Buffalo NY, thru Central Pennslyvania and into rural Maryland. (which does not go through Dubois, PA....) Finding an EV station along that route is like finding the loch ness monster. AND if the PODS are out out of order, you are SOL.
