Free charges now until the the petro run electric utilities raise their prices due to the changing oil market, then all bets are off.

A real Mustang is as much Otto cycle horsepower as can be crammed under the hood in as light a vehicle as possible. It’s not some sissified electric Soy Boy Toy to creep around town virtue signaling to fellow Leftist a-hole knotheads.

The automaker said that it should be able to charge a Mach-E overnight.

The word “should” introduces a gamble that no one going cross country is comfortable with. Count me out again.

These cars are suitable as a commuter car or secondary vehicle. Most people going cross-country are going to opt for an SUV or a full-sized luxury sedan, gas powered.

Ugh, it looks like an KIA economy model. Fire the entire design team and whomever said this would be a good idea.

Ping for later; reserving optimism.

I will say that the trend in E power is performance vs faux-green BS. See Zero motorcycles and Formula E for fast electric vehicles.

Some also say the Teslas can move along.

A Tesla roadsters 0-60 is 1.9 seconds. Electric vehicles designed for performance are incredibly efficient, and Im not talking about economy saving efficiencies. Im talking about reducing mechanical power losses and the simplicity if the system. No transmission, no engine, no fuel system, no exhaust system. Just power, motors and wheels.

Very cool, they are also selling the new Ford Mach One. For those more Internally Combustion inclined.

“A Tesla roadsters 0-60 is 1.9 seconds.”

Needs recharging in 2.0 seconds.

And after one of those runs, Toyota Camrys are picking on it.

It’s less than 5 charges, equivalent of about 4 gas fill-ups.
Not “free for life”.
