@graeme_cobb@eV_Newt@TheZiesel The (huge) under-floor storage and frunk more than make up for it.
Iโve found it an awesome road tripper for any travel with as much stuff as I need โ AND doggo who loves the roof ๐
@graeme_cobb@eV_Newt@TheZiesel I thought it would be more annoying to me than it has been.
IRL itโs been a pretty good van, but more than one times the tailgate has been headbutted ๐
Great to see more affordable options!
However, from the fleets we speak to often, the barrier isnโt purchase price โ itโs daily downtime.
If there were any class of vehicle crying out for 400 mile range and 400kW charging, itโs not suburb-crawling SUVs, itโs hard-working commercial vehicles that rely on being back on the road โ doing jobs and making money.
It feels like this might be the right answer to the wrong question Ford. Hopefully thereโs a next gen transit in the works tooโฆ
@mozzaev@BeEV_Charging Repeated cable theft and vandalism so weโve powered up 4 bays of the 8 to see how things go firstโฆ
Itโs a very expensive day when all bays get hit, so weโre taking it in stages โก๏ธ
@STittayz@eV_Newt@modernheroestv@BeEV_Charging Well, CHAdeMO doesnโt communicate MAC address anyway so we wouldnโt be able identify the model as normal anyway. I meant more anecdotally ๐
@eV_Newt@modernheroestv@BeEV_Charging Funnily enough Iโve never seen single one charge on our network. Happy to try though, i presume kempower will โก๏ธ
A week in Norway and Denmark has reminded me that no matter all the policy noise and press negativity โ the electric transition picks up *fast*.
Thereโs a really bright (near) future for EVs in the UK ๐ณ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐโก๏ธ
