China has serious competition in the EV space.

Ford made swapping the battery pack dead simple. Battery itself is kinda crude can tell this is version 1.x but still, well done Ford. Shame it was cancelled.

I just want to say that as someone who has almost fully transitioned to EV's (only ICE left is a 2013 Toyota Sienna) I appreciate your participation and engagement with us Battery heads . I look forward to crushing you in head to head debates 🤣. JK

BTW love the LC...one of my all time favorites. I really discouraged Bit from getting rid of his

Moving to all EV's (or at least 99 percent EV's) was from a vehicle ownership perspective the best move I ever made. And moving fully to Tesla sealed that for me. I've made no sacrifices, but only gains. OK, I did have to install a separate sub-panel, bring in a 240v circuit and install a charger, but it all ultimately not only paid for itself, but has put me in positive territory. I now own and drive two vehicles that are not only more efficient than a Prius, need virtually no maint, but have the versatility to be a family car, travel car, and have the performance I need to wipe the smile off of many owners of sports cars. And I didn't have to spend sports car money to get sports car performance.

Will I ever buy another ICE vehicle? Only as an occasional weekend car. Still respect ICE, but my heart has moved on BEV

The search feature was temporarily down and wasn’t working correct. It is now.
