Ford Says Large Electric Trucks And SUVs Have 'Unresolvable' Problems

Strange how these “unsolvable” problems haven’t stopped Ford’s competitors.
- They didn't solve any problems.
  
  Edison Motors did.
  
  You sure about that? The Cybertruck, ugly as it is, is a king size vehicle with plenty of range. There’s also the Rivian truck. Plenty of size and range. Hummer — huge, currently gets 315 miles on a full charge. Dodge RAM full size EV, will go 619 miles. Will be interesting to see what Scout ships.
Small EVs you say? Now there's an idea.
- It's nice that their incentives finally line up with something I want. Now if only building surveillance into new cars was somehow unprofitable.
I suppose it's settled then, no more large trucks!
It looks like ford has unbuyable problems for heavy duty customers.
I want an electric maverick.
Hydrogen is looking better and better for those needs. My city runs a fleet of hydrogen busses and they've been a great investment so far. They are outscaling the other busses, including electric.
- I wish fuel cells were cheaper. I looked into it once and it was over a thousand for even a low watt unit. and that's not counting the fuel or the tank. it wouldn't be hard to hot swap a fuel cell into my ebike but a battery is just cheaper
  
  More people adopt it will result in it being cheaper
