They are thinking about it, but the point is that it shows what is possibly coming our way to power all Fords
I don’t readily recognise the situation as you portray it Mr RWell it will be interesting for certain to see where it goes. I am not against progress, I am against forced progress that only benefits small sections of society and penalises the masses which is what I am seeing at the moment.

Hmm, sounds a bit socialistic to me!Well it will be interesting for certain to see where it goes. I am not against progress, I am against forced progress that only benefits small sections of society and penalises the masses which is what I am seeing at the moment.
AgreeMr Swanwoo......
those at the top running the UK have no interest in low income families unless it helps win them votes....
Not really - you just spend too much time reading the Daily Mail.Unless u look at the last silly person running the Lab party.....thick or what.......?
.....
Exactly my point. The conditioned reflex reaction. Absolutely no point in arguing that you are wrong on both points.Don't want to start a political debate, but "Corbyn = Racist" without even mentioning Communist.

Mind if Lab got back in we'd be forced to drive an EV Trabant....heaven forbid......
One of the main reasons for getting out of the UK.....
The Uk has so much to offer but those grabbers at the top just mess it up....
As far as used cars go here, a 10 year old vehicle with upwards of 200,000klms will still fetch close to 1/2 the new price....
no chance for a used EV here at a reasonable price.....
Cant see the Taliban running a fleet of EV Toyota pick-up's with a 50 cal on the back....CAN YOU....
Mad all mad.......hahaha.....
If that's so what's all the fuss about Red, Orange and Green countries about then?There’s also not exactly a flood of people looking to get out of the UK and it remains one of the better places to live in the world.
Sorry I don’t get your point and I’m definitely not looking to bring anything to do with pandemics into the mix.If that's so what's all the fuss about Red, Orange and Green countries about then?
If you aren't careful this thread will end up in the contentious zone!!
You almost never do trade mileage with no load (tool kit is a load AFAIK), so the range is never going to be 400 miles. And as a site carpenter my tool and fixings load is 600 to 800 kg in a Caddy (fairly common vehicle size and load), making an F150 good for maybe 150 to 230 miles fully laden (and assuming I'm not carrying a couple of 80kg passengers and their overnight luggage as well). And all this is before I turn the heater on to warm the vehicle up (did I mention that I live in the North of England?). So in winter I wouldn't even get to Carlisle...Ford just released the EPA figures for the F150 - 230 - 300 miles carrying a 1000lb load or over 400 mile no cargo
Your raise a good point. I'll ask the guys doing the project how they propose to fit around it - I guess they are aware as its quite a large project. I suppose is gas gets eliminated its one less utility to worry about.I just love this thread.....have learned a lot....
as for induction chargeing.....no hope.....some moron will dig it up, thats if a pot hole/sink hole doesn't trash it in weeks.....
the gas board/elec companies and even the phone comp cant work together now after a century of digging up the roads....
what chance have u got with a new kid on the block.....
on the lighter side, D_W, do you have pot holes in the US....the UK road system is like a cocked up Swiss chesse...and with no money of incentive to fix it.....but will happily waste BILLIONS on and uneccesary new rail system....JOBS for the boys and another pocket filler for those in the know.....
Luckily for me I live in a warm sunny place......extra/higher charges to recharge my future EV would be enough for me to go off grid and stick my fingers up to those in power.....but we cant all do it.....
Its not just the smog that we have eliminated. Most advances in technology have unexpected consequences that need to be finessed as they emerge. We are getting better at anticipating them as we have learned a lot about the chemistry of earth and climate science. A lot of product development over the past 50 years has been to improve environmental issues.Perhaps some of you are not old enough to remember the smog that used to hang over London and most other major cities of the world, but we have got cleaner by the decade, unfortunately I don't think electric vehicles are the answer, because we can't support the infrastructure without Nuclear power, I admit I don't know the answer, but it certainly is not wind power, perhaps wave generation needs to be updated, can anyone tell me why the Greens have not jumped on the bandwagon about the wind turbines and the massive resources needed to service, maintain and build them.
