Climate Change / Re: Ford “Drastically” Cutting EV Lightning Workforce Hours
« Last post by Smokin Joe on Today at 08:50:23 pm »EV's are not going anywhere and will take over. I drove a Tesla and it was an incredible drive. How many people after buying a battery powered drill still use their plug in drill. Not many. I went to my local Pilot truck stop this morning to get gas and they are putting in 25 ev chargers.Not sure what climate you live in, but up at 48 degrees North, that just isn't going to happen. We'll keep the old ICE vehicles running until you get an EV that has at least 8" ground clearance, 4WD, the ability to carry a ton or better over 300 miles bucking snowdrifts while keeping the cabin 90 degrees or more warmer than the outside air (just at 50-60 degrees F inside), and has enough additional reserve to heat the cabin for 12 hours in case something should go wrong.
Ford Lightenings was a mistake to begin with but do not blame EV's over them.
We don't buy vehicles for summertime play, but for the worst conditions we might face, and it IS a matter of life and death.
