The autumn years of the ICE should be the golden years for the ICE.

[rusty ol ranger]

And 100 plus percent growth year over for 5 years for the hybrids?....

What will that be?


Because ford.... Has hybrids for everything


And no new ice for anything

Then what?

No new ICE that has been leaked out. I will promise in some dark corner of headquarters theres a team working on the next gen of gassers....EV's are just getting the attention.

They arnt going to keep growing that much. There isnt enough people who actually want them. Theyve been around for years and years...they would be a much larger part of the market if people really wanted them.

 

[bobbywalter]

There's none.

Zero....for real.

Only what's in place now. Which the achates are radical...but that is it.

Watching rusty telly Bobby what Ford is and isn't doing, aside from maybe Jerry springer it just don't get any better than this.

1st version of Godzilla was around in 05

ICE isnt going anywhere. Espicially once we get an oil friendly adminstration back in office. If they do end up stopping all engine production they will go bankrupt. People are not going to accept the shortcomings of electric.

 

[bobbywalter]

And I rode around in a platform with one....and v10 crown vics and mustangs....

The lead on the gt was my neighbor back then....my kids seen it for years before it came out.

Ice for sure is not going anywhere for a long time.

I always felt the Hybrids were a stop gap until the EVs could be made better and to fill niches like contractors that need portable power to run tools without the bulk of a separate generator.

Ever consider that @rusty ol ranger is trolling you?

I am actually not convinced he isn't a bot.

the powerboost....i would be happy to give up 600 pounds of cargo capacity and 2k of the 12 plus k towing capacity for 100 miles electric range....

and that is coming.

the super duty systems will be interesting.

and using the bronco and expedition hybrids boondocking will be awesome....the power these have for overlanding and expedition rigs is just awesome.


long range hybrids are where its at....for the next 20 years.

i have no use for all electric if i were to only own one vehicle. thats retarded. i want options......in a traffic jam in a blizzard.....i want options...trying to escape a storm....i want options......out in the wild....i really want options.


the all electric for commuting....no problem. most of us have more then one vehicle. and an all electric for the chores is perfect.


so yes....electric vehicles of all types are going to rocket in production the next 5 years compared to 10 years ago. its only been 12 years with the teslas...


and these machines ford and gm are putting out are crazy......that hummer is out of control beast from hell.


if i could afford one i would buy it.

for a round towner. gonna be a minute before they are worth wandering the country like i do with one...

rusty is definitely a troll bot. i was born on the same troll bot farm...v3.228.... not an improvement...and both are outdated.

There's a reason Tesla's are currently the best EV to purchase. These are the key things I think the automakers should focus on to capture the market and make truly great EV's

Supercharger network
They own and maintain the largest truly fast charging network across the country and it's massively reliable and so easy to use
Vehicle efficiency and Range
Their vehicles recharge faster and more efficiently and use the least kWh/mile of similar EV's while also consistently having longer ranges
Infotainment
Their software is great and constantly getting better


The wife saved $500 this month in gas costs. The app shows we spent $130 but I have solar so my effective cost for 5000 miles of driving was $0

Really?, the solar is paid off I assume. Even still, has it actually paid for itself. 5000 miles in a month is pretty high too. 60k a year, I would expect some expensive maintenance is in your future.
