Definitely not an Alaskan rig.Bad battery life in the cold. Bad at keeping your body warm in the cold, if you want to go far. Ditto with running the windshield defroster. Bad at hauling loads any distance. Can’t throw a couple of 5 gallon batteries in the back for when you’re back in the boonies and far away from a gas station. Most trucks are parked outside year around. The extra weight isn’t a benefit when mud crawling. Not really seeing any upside to them.

@kawkasaurous Месяц назад

By far the cheapest house battery you can buy. A tesla wall battery (almost the cheapest but by far the best) will cost you about a buck per kilowatt installed. Those Trucks have 96-105 kilowatt hour battery packs and you can find them used for under 40k. Installation with the part is about 3k. Youre under half the cost per unit of energy to power your house. If youre into being off grid and self reliant this is a great product. Notice how i didnt say a great truck.

@HayesTech Месяц назад

It's the range that killed it for me. Why can't they make one with a very small gas engine, to keep the batteries charged up, that gets 60 or more MPG. Now that's an electric vehicle I would consider.

@safedriverspei8543 Месяц назад

No mention of cost to operate. It equates to about 61 MPG on the highway and 78 MPG in the city. No mention of 700 + foot lbs of instant torque or 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. I don’t know of any new gas trucks that can compare. If you want to know about EVs, ask someone who owns and drives an EV. Everyone else, only has an opinion. Right tool for the right job. If you need to drive 200 daily miles, or tow long hauls, then electric may not be for you. Everyone else will begin to understand the advantages of electric powered vehicles.

It looks and seems to be a regular F-150 until you have to pay twice as much to buy it and use extra time to plan where you charge it on long trips. You will be forced to get an expensive charger or wait many hours longer. If you are a risk taker you'll get stranded.

I really don't understand the mentality behind full lecky. The hybrid option seems ideal. ICE drives front wheels. Lecky drives the rears. Gives us 4wd on call, saves gas when im a traffic jam, allows most people to do the daily commute on electric only. We only need 50-60K (25-35 miles) for 90% of our driving, so we don't need huge batteries. My ideal truck would be a basic modern 1.6 to 2.2 lite 4 pot, only a front bench seat that can take three passengers and the long bed for loading stuff. Those short beds are useless

It's a First Gen BEV y'all, for some, it will work, for others it may not. The 1st Gen of almost any vehicle is usually not perfect nor fully refined. Pull up any 1st Gen Corolla or Honda's CVCC (precursor to Civic) and you'll witness a completely unrefined model vehicle. The first manufacture who can create an "Affordable" BEV Truck, which is reliable, and durable, will rule the market. One must crawl before they walk, walk before they jog... In a few years, Solid-State will rule the BEV and all the Nay-Sayers will be eating crow... or paying for Gasoline/Oil Changes, and all the maintenance required with an ICE Vehicle.

Trump pointed out a consideration that I overlooked. Because of the weight of these vehicles, were everyone to drive electric, the bulk of bridges and highway infrastructure would have to be replaced, upgraded to support their weight. My primary concern is the belief that the environmental hazards of electric would far outweigh the hazards presented by ICE vehicles, in terms of electricity consumption and production, and battery and vehicle disposal. As things currently stand, many EVs are disposable, once the battery needs replacement. A new EV of the same make and model is often cheaper than battery replacement.

@wtmayhew Месяц назад

Electric vehicles don’t have to be goofy. I’ve had a Chevy Bolt for seven years and I like it because it works like a normal car except you put electricity instead of gas in it to make it go. The Chevy is perfect for any driving up to about 250 miles a day. For longer trips, I’ve kept my 23 year old Honda because public chargers are a scam, ripping off drivers for five or six times the price of what electricity actually costs. The electric Chevy is the cheapest to operate car I’ve ever owned in 45 or so years of owning cars. My only expenses have been the car itself, the electric, window washer fluid and two tires. That also says something about Honda of years gone by, that I don’t hesitate to take a 23 year old car on a long road trip. I’m not sure I would trust a current Honda to do that 23 years from now.

My brother in law lives in Toronto, it works for him he has a Tesla X I think it's called, the SUV.... He paid a lot for it, but so far it's been pretty good.... I do wonder what's going to happen when it needs a major repair though... Time will tell, if the thing does last say 20 years, it's not that bad, even if you have to change the battery once.... It's nice not to have to worry about oil charges, and Tesla's App is pretty good at finding the nearest charging station.. I think because he bought it when it was so knew, he has free charging at the fast fill stations. Thing is he has his own house, and his own garage where he can keep it out of the cold and always keep it charging..... If you keep it outside in the cold it's bad for the battery and will take longer to charge. People that live in apartment buildings and such, how are they suppose to charge their car at home? Or, even a family with multiple cars.... How are they suppose to all charge over night? How will the grid support this surge of electricity? I doubt my brother in law will keep it forever, I have him thinking about the cybertruck, but I'm sure he's heard the negative reviews.

Electric vehicles make a lot of sense or use in a city. We know there are millions of North Americans driving Ford F-150s and other 1500 series pickup trucks who rarely need the utility of a pickup truck. Those folks that move an appliance one per year, or a mattress, or pick up a load of top soil or mulch for the garden once and while. These folks should love a Ford Lightning. City contractors, like electricians, A/C Techs, plumbers and decorators will probably make good use of the Lightning. Once your putting serious mileage on the odometer every day, hauling heavy loads, pulling a trailer, plowing snow, the lightning is probably not ready for prime time in most people's minds. Ford and Ford dealers should make F-150 Lightnings available for a two week test at a very reasonable rental rate for customers to get a feel for the product. Nobody wants to commit to a $70K dollar purchase and find that they regret it 30 days later.

@DS9FANINDADEFIANT Месяц назад

For now... I agree. But you americans don't buy diesels and diesels have more range than gas sometimes by double. Give it a few years when EV infrastructure is there and you get 500 miles on an EV and can charge in 15 mins. And im sure you won't give a damn if you have to stop for a piss and a sandwich every 6 hours. Not to mention that alot of electric trucks give the options of plug sockets for tradies to power tools off (you can litterally use them for about 20 hours straight and never run out of juice for your truck). Legit. Electric trucks are the future in so many cases.

@chrisgraham2904 Месяц назад

@@DS9FANINDADEFIANT Diesels are by far the majority for heavy duty pick-up trucks, such as the 2500 series and up in North America. 40 years ago when the first diesel cars came to North America from Europe, diesel fuel was 30% cheaper than gasoline. Now diesel fuel is 20% more expensive than gasoline. I agree that electric vehicles are the future, but the vehicle technology and the infrastructure to support them is lacking and it's highly unlikely that governments are going to meet their targets for drastically eliminating ICE vehicles.

I drove one a few weeks ago while my truck was being worked on. 2024. I hated it. It had way too many useless features. I really didn’t like the self driving feature. If it lost the white line on the right or you were coming up to a ramp, it wasn’t sure what to do. Go straight or take the ramp. Several times it veared off to the right for the ramp which I didn’t want. Ford can keep the 2024 trucks.
