The whole charging infrastructure thing may be a moot point. Seems like manufacturers are just adding gas engines in the their EV's and pivoting from plug-in hybrids to hybrids.
True EV enthusiasts have homes with charging capability and seem to stay on major thoroughfares when traveling so...
I'm having an issue with buying solar panels and battery big enough to matter but then I get to charge my car for "free".
My neighbor put up panels and I think he said he has a 25 year note on them.
Makes sense, this seems like the only way you're going to get charging out there to equal filling stations. Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, CVS, McDonalds, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, etc.
If they all got on the ball and installed chargers you may be able to start making a case that you...
Well maybe there is a chance Ford will offer a full size Bronco Hybrid, it's going to be pushing 6,000 pounds!

My girls, 33 and 37, are pretty much the same.
I love my Bronco as it has a nice screen and it connects to my phone if I want it to but that's about it. All the radio and climate controls are via actual buttons, same with my Grand Cherokee (except for the heated seats and steering wheel...
From the article:
"In particular, Chinese buyers have a taste for what are often called “software-defined vehicles.” They are connected and updatable, and essentially allow drivers to do everything through a car they would do through a phone."
“The Chinese vehicle owner can do his banking using...
Fixed it for you, In that case your towing audience is MUCH larger. If you're spending $70K plus on a truck it better be able to do truck things even if you never plan on doing those things.
In 10 years and 60K miles I've had passengers in the back of my Grand Cherokee maybe 4 times. Should I...
God, I pray there's button to turn all that BS off. Can these people just focus on getting a car out there? Now I know why they're billions over budget.
It’s funny as my youngest SIL, 30 years old, saw the Scout poster SWAG I got and he was like what on earth is that? He had never heard of Scout. He LOVES the looks of it.
Then I told him it was EV or EREV, hard pass from him on that. It took me 5 min to explain what an EREV was.
He drives a...
Definitely turbulent times to say the least.
RAM dropped it's full EV pickup and is bringing back V8's for pretty much everything, Ford dropped the Lightning, Lamborghini dropped it's EV plans, Honda and Toyota seem to be all in on hybrids.
Lots of moving pieces out there. I'd like to see...
Yes, I think the technology will be better, but will Scout be able to pivot from what they are designing today to integrate the new tech?
At some point the tech needs to be "bolted down" so to speak. These cars need to be crash tested and certified probably 1-2 years before production. So...
This is Fords marketing problem. What you're seeing in China is a Bronco in name only. They did Bronco and Bronco Sport in the US which confused the crap out of everybody, now they have a "Bronco" in China too.
Bronco is a body on frame, solid rear axle, transfer case w/low range, available...
That’s all AI non-sense. ‘26 Broncos are currently out and on sale now. I’m talking about Bronco, not Bronco Sport or any other China non-Bronco Bronco.
