Ford F-150 Lightning EREV Pivot: 700-Mile Range Explained Opinion: This might actually be a good thing for EV adoption

6 comments

1. 700 miles is wild. Even my range-anxiety uncle would run out of excuses now. Ford might finally get skeptics to actually try an EV.

2. fantastic article with a reasoned argument.

3. This is a great solution for pickups. Pure EV trucks just aren’t that good at a lot of the things people buy trucks to do.

4. This will be my next vehicle. Best of both worlds. Should have been this way from the start.

5. I love EVs… But hauling and towing are big limitations, even though aspects of EV power train are godsends for towing (torque, Regen).

   PHEV/EREV is probably the ideal solution for medium duty trucks.

6. This was the original advertised plan with the Chevy Volt, I never did understand why they gave up on this take, it simplifies a hybrids drivetrain and has promise to save a lot on cost once production scales up…
