The Stakes Are High: Inside the Team Developing Ford’s New Generation of Electric Vehicles


Recommended Posts

Surprising and interesting, electric vehicles are certainly coming and offer a different driving experience.  The prototype mockups sounds great, the one in the photo looks like a 3D printed mock-up.  Hope they are right about the electrics, not an SUV fan and wonder about abandoning cars in the US market.  

 

I consider myself a performance oriented consumer.  My Volt really opened my eyes to what driving an electric vehicle is like.  The plug in charging is great, I could go weeks without buying gas or if I wanted to take a 300 mile drive to visit my mom I could do that.  I’m not ready for pure electric or electric motorcycles yet.  Regenerative braking really changed how I drive, even how I drive the TC.  After my recent motorcycle trip to Yellowstone, there are many places outside of the dense population centers that don’t have many gasoline stations.  Eventually a good charging network will evolve and electric vehicles offer enormous benefits to electricity production and consumption.  Most cars spend substantial amounts of time stopped, if connected to an intelligent network of charging stations they could smooth the ups and downs of electricity generation from wind and solar.
