Angry ginger Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 for someone who drives their truck local should be the perfect vehicle. More of an issue if you want to tow toys. Would not work IMO for the average snowmobiler, no one wants to stop for 30 minutes headed north and south for example from NH to Millinocket for a weekend of riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towing is not an issue. Linda the ev engineer is an immigrant. Edited May 24, 2021 by Mainecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard-range F-150 Lightning Pro can travel approximately 230 miles on a single charge and, as we found out last week, will cost $39,974 before incentives or tax credits.

Fireball 440 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 What we didn't know was how much of a premium Ford would charge for the extended-range version. This model is capable of about 300 miles on a single charge and will be supplied with a 240 V, 80 A charger (called the Charge Station Pro) that can fill the battery to 100 percent in eight hours. As it turns out, the electric pickup with the bigger battery will go on sale at $49,974 before incentives and tax credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different models but article I read said it didn't get below $40K until fed and state tax credits were utilized. Sure they were talking about the upper end versions. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/20/ford-prices-electric-f-150-lightning-pickup-from-40000-to-90000.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecat Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Not sure what planet you guys live on but 40K for a gasser F150 is as base as you can get. The Lightening will sell big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford is pretty cool but I think the big three will all have them shortly. Bad news for Tesla I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what world is it the governments job to invest in charging stations for gas stations and shopping malls around the countery ? There should not be one fucking cent of tax money spent on charging stations . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they put a non oxi pump next to them and charged say 10 bucks a gal and equal for the charge I could support it as a money making venture . But no let's run it like Amtrack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
