As soon as Ford opened reservations for the electric F-150, it began planning to expand the Dearborn plant that makes them, he said. “The reservations were so much higher than the (production) capacity that we had put in,” Galhotra said. “This is the first time in my career that we were expanding the plant before the plant was built.”
As soon as gas returns to normal price levels all the demand for EVs will peter out to nothing.
After the initial excitement, IMHO people who use the F 150 for commercial purposes or long recreational/ camping trips will not want the EV version. Not only will recharging be a huge handicap but it is highly doubtful that these vehicles will hold up beyond 60-80,000 miles. Owners of these trucks expect to get 150,000-200,000 miles on these vehicles. EVs will be a niche market unless people are absolutely coerced. May be wrong but doubt it. Unless the Democrats stay in power, Ford will go down hard.
