    Batteries are 1800 lbs, truck mt, weight is 6500 lbs. Its a monster for 200 mile over its battery life of 7 years guaranteed... Most all I have read is the batteries usually are not fully charged due to time on charger. It s a great vehicle for those needing lil less than 200 mile a day average every week is my estimation. I love it, just won't fit my needs for some years most likely. I need to jump out 300/350 miles without worry on an average nightly charge. Than can spend a day on charger to return. It seems an iffy thought currently with it.

    Quote ; Not into EVs but the new Ford Lightning got me interested.


    Hope you ordered it if it meets your needs. Most of us need to fly anyway to have a quick week vacation.

    I tend to see things realistically. So many millions of EV vehicles. Imagination is running rampant. The need for Mini Mart Charging complexes of many as 10 acres each ! Parking while waiting for one of the 20 Fast Chargers, Dog walking areas, Coffee, Power drinks, Restrooms, Hair Salons and Wi-Fi resources for those bored out of their minds while all this waiting to get a 45 minute charge and go anywhere else USA. The need, oh the need. As today there is a Gasoline/Diesel/E15-85 Mini Mart it only stands to reason the Mini Mart needs of the Marching angry mob, looting and screaming we want our Mini Marts back ! I have already seen plans to have them placed near shopping etc but where is there space. Closed Shopping Centers most likely come to mind. The Millions who live in Apartments and HighTower's and Condo's needing the needful things ! The Hell of the Big City Week end out of town crowds. Then can Thorium Nuke power stations actually happen in the next 30 years. So What i see are EV actually a common transportation happening after Thorium Nuke power stations happen with the supporting Grids, Transformers and Demolitions of Millions of acres of non economic loosing closed up areas of the high population centers and rebuilt to the 2050's Economic needs, certainly not in these next 10 years can it happen !
