Is “charging experience” MBA terminology for “long wait”?

Hmmm if only there was a type of engine that could be refueled in only a few minutes....

Now that would be good for road trips. Any everything else too.

Maybe Ford should produce something like that.

But they - Ford and GM in particular - plunged ahead (spurred on by big tax credits to buyers) with massive EV builing spree and never themselves looked how the grid and availability of charging stattions outside the home could accomodate their EV customers. Would they have built millions of gasoline powered cars if they did not see a prevalence of the availablity of gasoline? They just didn’t care about ANYTHING other than getting Biden’s EV subsidies for themselves and their customers, period.

One could look at it as an opportunity for homeowners along highways to install their own charging stations, then advertise on Facebook, etc. Would be like Air B&B. Come in and have a coffee, computer access, etc. while your vehicle charges for an hour. $150. Owners could schedule throughout the day.

Honestly I think it’s bad parenting.

Like Elizabeth Holmes or Sam Bank Fraud, when you’re raised without consequences, you start to believe that anything that you do will just work out, no matter if it’s stupid, wrong, or evil.

Anybody think it was coincidental that was filmed while he was driving past a field of windmills?

Electric cars would likely be fine for the morning and evening commute that is the vast majority of our driving but you're still going to need a gas car for rare situations such as long trips or power outages. So where's the savings? Might as well have a gas car that covers 100% of your driving needs.

You'd never make up the money you saved on gas buy buying an additional electric car.

And for a while I was living in downtown San Diego. Street parking only. No charging outlets at all. So if you have to do any sort of commuting and don't want to spend half your day on public transportation alongside various drug addicts, degenerates, violent criminals, and homeless masturbators, you can't own an electric car.

Of course, none of this matters. They're going to force electric cars on us kicking and screaming and it'll be the only form of personal transportation that we'll be allowed to "own" (because we'll never truly "own" them).

My son works for one of the contractors on the “Blue Oval” plant in Kentucky, where Ford is planning on manufacturing batteries for the electric F150 trucks.

Two messages I have received from him over the last 3 months.

1-They are given electric F150’s to drive around the site, because it covers such a large area, but plug them into gas powered generators every night to charge them. He included pictures. The contractors thought that was pretty funny

2- to save costs on this new battery plant, Ford has decided to replace their emergency back up batteries with generators, because the batteries are to expensive.

The same idiots at Bud, Target and Skittles… like most Americans, they are incapable of rational thought, and possess no critical thinking skills.

This is what the business schools are spitting. Woke liberals with zero common sense.

Problem solved using ling drop cords.
Just get a buddy who commutes to near you and you both buy a drop cord at least half the trips length, you meet half way and swap cords and continue on, problem solved and no time wasted charging batteries which you can do without.

So your company has been selling these pieces of sh!t for what, 2 years now and just NOW decided to see how it actually works in real life applications. No wonder Ford’s stock is in the sh!t hole. What a clueless loser.

The battery needs to charge while the wheels are turning. Not a big deal to do, actually. A magnito perhaps?

Ford needs to go the Toyota route and go hybrid with their vehicles. Toyota knows it is way too soon to go all in on EV technology with all its range and charging issues and global consumers are telling them. For consumers saddled with
escalating gas prices, hybrids will be their choice. Toyota will be the winner in that department.
