Ford and Red Bull Already Developing "Strategically Important" EV TogetherYour also talking about what happened almost 50 years ago and with that do you think vans or personal coupes are going to make a come back? The reason Trucks and SUVs are so popular is they are more flexible (real or imagined) then a sedan. A Maverick can fit a washing machine in the back of it in a pinch, a Civic or Corolla wouldn't be able to.
Given how much push back (well real or imagined) that BEVs have, selling a car that only gets 200 miles range in perfect conditions and would maybe get 140 miles or less in range when its cold out is a complete non starter for the vast majority of people-esp ones that don't have easy access to charging at home, which would be what a lower end BEV would be pointed at-and those people normally live in high density housing.
What needs to happen is someone needs to offer a product that is roughly the size of the Bronco Sport/Escape, that gets roughly 280-300 miles range when 100% charged and can be charged up to 80% or so in less than 20 minutes at a level 3-4 charger or 8 hours on a level 2 charger at home for about 30-40K and be turn a profit on it.
Trying to sell a focus sized car like that would be "stupid" at this point.Mon, 06 Feb 2023 20:17:38 +0000
