But there are a lot of vehicles that are kept for shorter terms or coming up for replacement. This will plant the seeds for additional adoption.

Yep, and they will likely install enough chargers so employees can charge as well. Thus helping more people choose to buy them.

Good, it will be a good jump start to adoption and the bigger issue, charging network.

I usually back in, but if I’m doing a large shopping trip, I’m not going to risk moving the cart between cars or leaving the cart unattended while walking to the trunk. There is just to much risk in dinging cars.

I was thinking for business locations. If they designed the cover correctly, then they would keep the cars cool in southern locations, eliminate the need to plow lots in the northern locations, and keep people dry when loading the vehicle in the rain.

Front charging port makes sense, it lets you pull into the spot while the trunk stays accessible to loading from the cart.

Then the crazy Q and Trump people would complain we are silencing them. 

I never understood why Tesla doesn’t make an outside version of the charger with a solar panel cover.

Yep, there needs to be limits placed on colleges. Maybe tie what they can charge to historical employment and income rates for graduates.

I have mixed feelings as well. I worked almost full time during the school year, full time over the summer and was in the USCG reserves to use the MGIB along with tuition assistance to be able to graduate with zero debt.

It’s simple, put chargers where people would normally park the car and not a special place you go to, to charge/ refuel the car. 

It’s about 40-1h for an 80% charge, which would be the way to go for travel, otherwise, at home, charging overnight doesn’t matter.

I think this would be for whenever there is construction happening on the street / sidewalk. BUT I could see the availability of chargers driving people to those locations, thus all businesses will but for them.

Yep and makes the cities more $

I want to know who can go for 500 miles, about 8 hours without a bathroom break or to move and prevent blood clots.

Because if you stop at a rest stop for 5 minutes then the EV can charge for 5 minutes.

If you feel the need to have a dry month, then you have a problem and need to go to a few AA meetings. The rest of us will keep on living life. I know I have a bottle of Verde to open for inauguration day.

UPS/FedEx trucks are only made on the step chassis for the size, ease of assembly and not as much for the GVWR. Making the F53/59 and EV would be a cheap solution, but designing a scalable next gen transit chassis would be a more efficient solution. The F53/59 has major issues with the increased chassis height, ask…

I could see that used in apartment complexes where internal staff does the door to door delivery part.

It looks like Ford and GM are taking 2 different approaches to the same problem. I suspect Ford’s will be cheaper since it’s reusing a lot of existing Transit R&D and is designed to be a stepping stone into having a large EV fleet. GM’s will cost more due to full vehicle R&D and larger battery packs, but appears to be…
