Same here. Didn’t even order yet. But at least the dude in the picture is wearing a hard hat and safety harness….to plug in a charger lol. Safety first!

Only the last 20 miles of the trip to the woods will be off-road, somewhere along the way before you get to that point you’re sure to have a charger. So really only 50 miles in and 50 out without access to charging, total of 100 while towing plus your driving while there. Easy peasy! And doesn’t...

I’d love that! Give it about two….nah, three years, it’s definitely coming.

That’s how my ‘98 went from supercab short bed to regular cab long bed after my wife flipped it a couple of times back in 2012. A lot of work, but basically plug and play, back then anyway.

Or not, public charging is becoming more common and will be ubiquitous in a few years. All depends on your personal use case and comfort level. I’m sure some people also have a full gas can in the bed of their gas truck “just in case “. Each their own.

Thank you for pointing that out, I’ve seen this subject discussed several times in EV forums before, and never seen this tax mentioned. Good to have all different voices at the table!

I think someone definitely owes us a few dozen oysters ? over all this back and forth. Yes, I’ll bring beer and hot sauce.

All that typing, but you’re still unable to answer my simple question from earlier. I think I know why….

Careful, here’s a trick question, and yes, it’s about the part where you’re using the bold letters: you state that, when charging my EV, that electricity is not going back to the grid. So, where is it going?

Both you and Greene are correct, and if taxes/registration fees accurately reflected the road damage from each vehicle, big rig 18 wheelers would probably have to pay 95% of the total: they drive much more, and their weight harms roads much more. Trucking companies would raise prices, and it...

Mississippi charges $150 extra per year for EV registration, which I’m happy to pay since it’s going to road maintenance. BUT with many states currently proposing temporary fuel tax holidays or rebates, it would only be fair to extend a commensurate reduction in registration fees in those places...

This range loss is not bad at all considering the towing situation. I would’ve expected at least 50% loss, this is significantly better.

As long as they don’t shift us into N or R we should be ok.

Trust me, I hope you’re exactly right!

On top of that, the leaked dealer ordering playbook clearly stated that unfilled MY 22 reservations were going to be invited to order for MY 23 this summer “in reservation time stamp order “. Implying that there wasn’t going to be another round of prioritizations. Looks like Ford is now...

Please. Most lithium is mined in Australia and Chile. Hardly third world countries. You mentioned Nevada, also not *quite* third world. But what we DO bless a lot of third world countries with is unregulated dirty fossil fuel extraction. The people suffering from the resulting pollution get...

Once again, the considerable length and breadth of your posts can’t hide the shallowness of your understanding how electricity works: electrical energy will always take the path of least resistance, for a home with solar panels and a plugged in low SOC EV on a sunny day that will always be the...

Polluting one time, when the lithium for the battery is extracted, is a lot less than polluting every time you start that ICEV up for its 20 year lifespan. A good trade off to make, environmentally speaking.

So this twitter thread reveals that there’s certainly going to be another round of dealer prioritizations. She had a chance to say no, and didn’t. Business as usual, Ford still doesn’t get it.

And, more importantly, what happens to the electricity his panels generate? We now know that it’s “not charging his EV”, so where is it all going? By his flawed logic it can’t possibly be charging his neighbor’s EV either, or do anything else useful without that dreaded fossil peaker plant...
