The point is that if we, as a society, have decided that we want to use less gas, making alternate fuel vehicles in many body styles gives buyers more choices. When they have more choices, they’re more likely to purchase that alternate fuel vehicle.

Looks like the only thing the SUV is going to blaze is the top of a speed bump. Looks like it has the same ground clearance at the Mach-E, none at all

As long as the rear doesn’t slope downward like most crossovers do, I like it.

By next gen, I feel like they mean it’ll be a bespoke EV instead of being based on a conventional platform as the Lightning is.

even a ranger... if i can get a truck that gets north of 3 miles/kwh likely in.

Whole lot of people on here have no first hand knowledge of the topic on hand and it shows.

Cleaning the environment will take multiple paths. If we keep stopping because this solution or that solution doesn’t meet every use case, we will never progress.

Side note....as a bike nerd I’m more intrigued by the knowledge that Sachs had a hydraulic disc brake option in the 90s!  I have never seen those before!

We’re going to see Tesla blink on the M-Y price soon, mark my words.

Thank God ICE cars don’t need improvement. Been driving my unchanged Ford Model T for the past 110 years- no changes necessary.

“Many EV plants still rely on coal power, ultimately negating the environmental benefits you’d expect from going electric.”

Yeah, I dont really care about Mazda’s take on this subject. EVs are better for the environment no matter how the Electricity is produced. Its been proven in so many studies, and written about ad nauseam.

Except Mazda is being deceptive. Their data is off apparently and the standard of changing the battery at 100k is at least double, if not triple that required in reality.

The issue needs to be discussed honestly and not exclusively by those with vested interests against the technology. 

While many findings contradict each other, there is research that indicates that the manufacturing of an EV battery can create more carbon dioxide than an environmentally friendly ICE model depending on where the battery is made. Many EV plants still rely on coal power, ultimately negating the environmental benefits…

You want 240. 115 gets you maybe 4 miles per charging hour. Not enough to be sustainable.  You will still be reliant on finding a spot somewhere.

“How long does it take to charge it?”

It charges in 30 MINUTES. Do you drive a car in the city? What day have you driven more than 70 miles INSIDE of the city? What day are you SO busy that you do not have 30 minutes to charge your car? Do you charge your phone? Okay then. Its DRIVEL like this that's the reason this car isnt going to be coming to the USA.…
