Escape, Edge, TC to be KilledTend to agree. Have a relative who purchased a PHEV and is going all in with an installed 240V charger. Many Ford managers got PHEV when a "sale" was done on management lease. They were using onsite charging at the exec garage. Also good word of mouth to others considering the technology. A neighbor of mine bought a Chevy Volt, was filling up once a season. After a 3 year lease, he had confidence to buy a BEV, a Tesla Model 3. Ford may find it easier to sell to BEV shy people. The high range BEV tend to ~100KWH battery. The PHEV closer to ~20 KWH. Most BEV advocates claim people "should" need range only for the average day's drive. Right now battery availability a concern. So a choice, make 5 PHEV or 1 BEV. If you sell the 5 PHEV people may convince themselves, yes I can stand lower range. Gives the company time to develop supply chain for batteries. Also the charging times claimed are items in dispute. Will a Ford at a Tesla charger, accept charge at the same rate as a Tesla? Will Mr. Musk allow it to happen at that rate, even if technically possible? Did Mr. Farley negotiate it? Or will we all be waiting for our Ford to charge while waiting in a van down by the river?Tue, 05 Sep 2023 18:30:30 +0000
