Battery based vehicles of today and tomorrow pt 2

That to me proves how stupid the Mach-E is, trying to make it sound like an internal combustion engine when it's not using speakers. What's the point? Yuk...

I want that feature for my Nissan Leaf . That is so cool.

Just read this on CNN. Not poorly written. It really shows the challenge ahead to build out a fast charging network. Each fast charger (which might have from 1-4 ports) costs $1mil to install. Also while we love to say “there are more EV chargers than as gas stations…those are L1 and L2 chargers mostly. A L2 will take 8 hours to charge a vehicle. For travel L3 is what we need, of which there are only 6500 in the entire US (I dont think that includes tesla though as they are still private).

There are more electric vehicles on the road than ever. See where charging gaps are on US highways. | CNN

Metro areas are further ahead than states with smaller populations in the central and western US, like Montana, Wyoming and the Dakotas, a CNN data analysis shows.

With Tesla able to do the same thing for about 25 cents on a dollar is the reason the other guys are never going to catch up with Tesla market share going forward unless something major changes.

I think I might want a Mach-E for the way they sound

I'd buy that sound system and put it on a Yugo just for the looks.

Hey, this is a tractor forum. That sound system should go on a Belarus

Some say Tesla can't sustain the long haul. Who knows? I'm still not comfortable with their business model.

Could be a fact but that would make the OEMs nonstarters. What makes you uncomfortable with Tesla's business model?
