Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 31, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Having a full EV would be nice for around town. Cheap to run. Tesla will charge at 32 amps at home on a 240 volt circuit. You don't even need to get a home charger if you can wire in a 240 50 amp Nema outlet. Even with charging losses that you have you could take a 95 KWh battery and charge it from empty to full in 16 hours give or take an hour with about $10 in total electricity in my area from a home 240 outlet. Estimates by EV sources say Ford has already presold 32,000 mach E's and first year production is planned for 50,000. If Ford hits doing 50,000 EV's in the first year year the tax credit for ford may start disappearing some time in by 2022. I could see a Mach E going into the garage in year 2 of production and save the plugin hybrid for out of town trips.

Ford has over 100,000 ev's under their belt. Excellent warranty on EV components makes it not a concern. Ford knows what they are doing when it comes to EV's as much as anybody. Not their first rodeo with EV vehicles. Plus the vast dealer network in every state would make me opt for a dealer supported EV purchase over what Tesla has built as their repair service procedure.

At a 43,000 base price and a $7500 federal tax credit any new tesla SUV wouldnt come close to competing with Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) This is good news. EV’s are our future. These are the advancements we need in our quest for an alternative to gasoline. We are closer than ever now. I love my little EV. Would like more range but everything else is just fine.

Where do you go it's impractical? So you think it is practical for others though and that's why you constantly say how great it is?
