I wonder if any are going to be exempted. IE…..state police cruisers and other emergency vehicles.
Longshot?
Hilarious.
It’s nowhere NEAR that close. If it hits 10% I’ll eat my hat.
I just drove home from Palo Alto today...100 miles on CA freeways. The heart of Silicon Valley to the Big Valley. Weirdoland.
The vehicles on the road didn’t even hit the 10% EV mark.
If you have a short commute from work to home and can charge at home overnight, I can see a case where that would be practical. However, for most people who may not be home each night or have a busy schedule where a few hours to charge midday isn’t pragmatical.
I’m 53 and I recently bought a Honda Fit which I don’t drive often or far so I expect it may be my last car. I have no problem keeping my Hondas and Toyotas until 200K+. The problem will arise only when gas stations become few and far between….
Yep. The other factor is battery replacement. What is the expected life span and replacement cost. If after say 5 years the battery needs replacement but it costs close to the value of the car it’s not worth it.
Blasphemy.
Raise your hand if you want a $90K F-150 that only goes 100 miles, quits on you and then needs a recharge.
How far will an electric speed boat go?
Ford has already sold their EV truck to LEO’s in other states, some already are using the EV car for patrols.
The new spend-our-way-out-of-debt bill includes exorbitant cash incentives to both EV buyers and EV sellers, virtually enough to make buying and operating EV’s totally paid for by taxpayers. At the same time long charge times, short distance range per charge and inefficiency make EV’s totally unusable.
The EV market is already totally saturated with idiots. Lavish taxpayer incentives will have no effect. You couldn’t pay me to drive one.
That article was posted on 28July. are these vehicles already in mass production and available for sale?
Years ago Ford made a LNG patrol car. The department I worked for got 15-20. They didn’t last long.
So, given charge times, how many of these need to be available to make sure the cars/trucks are on the road?
I was just wondering. Can they make a compressed air source to drive some kind of car; like having a large tank of compressed gas to drive a turbine which will drive the wheels?
