Default Surprising Reasons Ford Will Be Successful In A World of Electric Vehicles

Many news outlets and Tesla fanboys have declared that Ford is dead already but too stupid to know it. I think that is just silly, see:


The F150 Lightening looks to be very popular.

I have always maintained that while EV's will take over the consumer market within 15 years, it is so huge that many companies will be successful. That likely includes Ford, GM, Mercedes, and many other so called legacy car builders.

What do you think? Is Ford toast in 10 years or will they still be a power house (pun intended!)

Default Ford Success in EV's?

Ford has not be around for 100 years because they don't know what they are doing. Mistakes... lots of them... and some big ones, but I think they are on the right track here and that Trucks are a natural for electrification.

see: https://www.partisanissues.com/2018/...-for-electric/

but electrification for real trucks is likely to be in the form of hydrogen, not battery electric.

see:

Battery Electric = gas
Hydrogen = diesel

Thoughts?

There are so many undisclosed things that are not being discussed or presented yet.
Among the things I have a question regarding costs to charge my EV.
We can be sure of one thing , you will have to pay for the charge. The question is ,,Just how much?
