I will be transferring my personalized plates:

No wonder EVs have a much longer warranty than the basic bumper to bumper! PHEV: 10 years / 150,000 miles (Honda Clarity) BEV: 8 years / 100,000 miles (Ford)

SK On is a south Korean battery manufacturer that is looked as a positive source by the USA as an ally nation used by Ford Lightning EV trucks. My Mach E NMC are sourced from Poland but the battery manufacturing is switching to Michigan....

Yup, lift for sure here in pothole city So Calif!

Same experience with reservations actually turning into an order with Ford, GM and Chevy EVs.... Ford Lightning 2022 unexpectedly converted into an order the fastest (1 year reservation). Ford Mach E 2022 order turned into 2 VIN changes, model year change, color changes, then stalled for 14...

This is nice to see that Ford China is coming out with an EV and EREV. EV flavor is AWD with BYD batteries with a range of 400 miles. I would love to see the EREV flavor with a 700 mile range EREV in the US. https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/ford-bronco-goes-ev-and-erev-in-china.47641/

With NACS charge port standard on the Slate, I'd bet that Tesla Supercharger access would be plug and charge. My Ford has CCS1 and needs an adapter to use the Tesla Superchargers. Just unfortunate that having to open the Tesla app in order to get the discounted Tesla driver rate is a...

It's plug and charge for my Ford EVs. Been charging at Tesla Superchargers for over a year. It's a true plug and charge using the non discounted / full rates thru Ford's Blue Oval network such as Tesla and Electrify America. However, my charging discounts (Tesla Driver and EV Go Plus) are...

Glad to hear you used the Lost Hills new mega location. I am hoping one day soon when I have my own plane, I can stop at Tesla Superchargers for my EV plane's charge.

Those numbers are what I predict will be when it finally becomes available. My past reservations (Ford and GM) have all increased by the time it was ready for ordering. Ford Lightning was not too far off - about $1500 more than originally quoted (Lariat) The biggest jump was the Chevy...

yes, always has in the past. Ocean, Lucid, Rivian and F150 Lightning were all limited production and people did reserve to buy the first model year to flip them. By sheer luck, I got the first year '22 Lightning 16 months earlier than the Mach E that I also ordered. Ended up driving the...

Agree - I had the Lightning for 1 year and it was way too large for my urban lifestyle. Lightning would not fit in my single garage, found tight parking spaces, terrible U turn radius, constant worry while in middle of Los Angeles bumper to bumper traffic, and I never towed nor hauled...

If you have solar, either get a Tesla battery for charging using the excess PV energy and then use a L2 charger to your Slate. Otherwise use a portable battery pack like the EcoFlow that I have with 240V output and can be charged from home solar, home grid power, L2 public charger, or portable...

^^^ Correctly said about add on accessories and resale. With an EV this low, I'd keep it for at least until the HV battery warranty is good....

Very nice! Love the white. Now if they had white / light grey / ivory / bone color interior option, I'd be in!

Exactly! Common for EV newbies to worry about range - called range anxiety. After 7 years of EV driving, I just refer to the % battery remaining just like fuel tank gauge. I love being able to continue using the EV even if there was a grid down event where all gas stations would cease to pump...

😅 Not much - it's a small battery and you will be lucky to get 1.2kW charging from a L1 cord for an hour. Should add around 3 - 4 miles of range on a single charge. Better to just call Auto Club roadside assistance with EV charger they have on board to get L2 charge. I have for the home a...

Scout's EREV will come with a 2L VW gas engine to recharge the HV battery. No specs on the VW engine details nor tank size in the Scout yet..... The issue with Scout's EREV is that the added ICE power plant will decrease the EV efficiency due to added weight of the engine and different battery...

Noticed my current EV used valuation has gone up, but not the amount I'd expect since ICE / Hybrids are still fetching more $$. Remember, buying an EV usually means a very serious hit in depreciation the first year so don't compare numbers with an ICE/Hybrid.

EREVs as @zipn pointed out are excellent for larger vehicles that run primarily on EV and then use the gas generator to recharge / extend range as needed. Depending on your driving needs and the cost of fuel vs electricity will be your best guide for an EV vs EREV. Where I live in So Calif...
