Who'll be first? E-F150

No more weekend warrior trips where you leave Friday after work for a 5 hour trip to the lease and come back Sunday..... would need a full day of charging on the side of the road set aside to go along with it.

And nothing like tying one on and forgetting to plug the truck in the night before you leave to go home. Sorry honey it’s gonna be an extra 8 hours to charge before I can leave .

Mileage range, time to charge and true battery replacement life have me at never for now.

[Chief Big Toe]

i drive a 70 mile commute every day, not sure it would be a problem for me to drive a all electric vehicle.
got 8 years left to work, so the battery life being over 8 year life span, i guess its something i could truly look into, if the home charging is not so very expensive.. makes you think

[Traildust]

Awesome.....now my 1 week trip to CO will take me 2 weeks.....can't wait!

[bbqfan5909]

Not sure your situation, but I spend anywhere from 700-900 a month on fuel. So, I don't see my electric bill going over that.

So how much is my electric bill going up charging these things 12-14 hours a day?

Also, when we start shutting down coal / gas plants, how are we going to provide said electricity to charge them?

If it works as well as gas, then why not? That said, I won't be interested in buying one until it's convenient and quick to charge one. When there are charging stations in San Augustine, or Center, or Carthage, and all the other small towns between the house and the deer lease, maybe I'll consider it. Until then it's a non-starter. I also don't want to have to spend an hour recharging on long road trips. So I guess we'll see in a few years.

Your first statement is why this truck will not be a huge seller. It's not as good as gas. I can fill up my truck in 5 minutes, and I bet if I counted, I would see more than 20 refueling stations on my way to work.

The same cannot be said for electric. Yet.

You dont have to convince people to drive a car that runs on sunshine. That's born out of necessity.

These mandates are pushed by government. It simply doesn't work, and will create more obstructions to necessity than answers.

Close behind those mandates will be a rush for resources that will decimate 3rd world places that have them. Hello civil wars and dirty deals with China and Russia.

Environment, mining precious metals and elements in extreme haste (2035 is it?) Will leave a trail of Superfund sites all over the world.

Their are hundreds of future millionaire millenial turds running around right now saying ..lets develop a business to take care of this up and coming problem. One might even cut your pickup truck off on the highway in his new Lamborghini one day.

If I am not mistaken, one of the old Tesla engineers has started a business to recycle the old batteries.

Yeah lets dump a few million pounds of lithium and other heavy metals into ground every year, sounds like an environmental win!!

I have absolutely no interest in an electric truck

If electric power is so going to be so good, why do golf courses prefer gas powered carts on hilly courses?

It’s not because they are faster or more powerful. My electric golf cart will drag a gas powered cart all over the place. The torque is insane.

Speaking as an electric cart owner lead acid batteries suck and are a pain to
maintain. Im betting that is a factor. I would expect with carts moving to lithium you will start seeing more electric ones on the courses.

I just did a total rebuild of mine and converted to lithium. I’ve not put a lot of miles on it but it’s noticeable more responsive and the range should be more than doubled over the lead acid batteries.

I'm guessing that, given the low price point for the base model, they were targeting businesses that like to portray themselves as "green" with this truck. It's only practical for traveling short distances with light loads.

Groceries?

The 2022 Raptor will get about a 200 horsepower boost and be at least as quick. This is from Motortrend: "The new Raptor will have the Mustang Shelby GT500's Predator 5.2-liter supercharged V-8. In the Mustang, it's rated for 760 hp and 625 lb-ft"

Electric will be quicker. Notice I didn’t say faster. That’s why bone stock Teslas slaughter even super exotic cars in the 1/4 mile.

15% to 85% is 41 minutes. Ford also throws in the fast charger so you can install it in your house.

And this is where lithium batteries like to live. 10-90%. I

As much as I dislike Ford products, this truck looks pretty good....for someone that doesnt drive much it might be a good option....at least it looks like a truck and not that Tesla truck thing......
Ford will make a gold mine on this
