Escape, Edge, TC to be KilledThe issue your missing is that CAFE is going to force everyones hand into making vehicles that are EVs. PHEVs are fucking useless unless you plug them in (which seems vast majority of users don't), you get no additional benefit over a HEV if you don't and if your plugging in (from a CO2 reduction perspective), your better off going full EV. They are basically a crutch that doesn't "do anything", outside of keeping the inconvenience factor low for users. Politics might play to a point but at this point I don't see how the current administration gets voted out with demographics and voting blocks the way they are.
Short term (next 3-4 years) you'll be ok, but once we get closer to 2030, it will make no sense for future investment into ICE/Hybrid power. The thing that everyone forgets is what is coming out this year was done 3-4 years ago.
The focus on EVs the past 24 months or so was wholly focused on helping stock prices and helping Fords' image-its much like Bill Ford saying they are coming out with hybrid SUVs that get 30 MPG or something like that almost 15 years ago...didn't quite pan out exactly that way.Tue, 05 Sep 2023 02:01:22 +0000
