I don't qualify for the credit so it's a non issue for me personally - I think the credits going away are a great thing because I believe they unfairly gave Tesla an advantage as their pricing is already lower than anyone else could hope to go, but then they qualify for the credit. They are...

Does the Tesla not adjust the 100% charge target based on either temperature or driving history? At least with Ford, it's an entirely unreliable metric to assess degradation as the difference between 80 degrees and 50 degrees is significant...and if you have a lead foot it will show lower...

It all depends on how they plan on sizing the engine/generator combo. I would assume they are targeting it to be able to provide enough power to drive at highway speeds without too much trouble but we have to see.

We can only theorize based on how other EREVs work - but yes, when the battery reaches the point at which the generator is utilized to keep the battery from dropping any further and charges it - if you are using more power than the generator can provide and the battery loses charge, you may end...

If the power demands of the vehicle are greater than the generator can provide, the battery will lose charge and thus power would need to be restricted to keep the battery from dying.

We have some Mach-E owners with over 100k miles (one with 150k) and their experiences were reported as well. Their battery state of health was still very good (above 85% if not mistaken)

We should absolutely have the choice to select. But....1 pedal driving (once you get used to it) is absolutely superior. Fight me if you think I'm wrong.

Source?

I don't think you'd want a 300 hp turbo 4 cylinder running a generator. You want an engine that makes power at as low of an RPM as possible to optimize KW output with minimal noise, vibration, heat and as efficiently as possible while reliably being able to run at that sustained RPM. None of...

You only ever seen American vehicles at Bucee's?

Mach-E GT - I charge to 90% and have a lead foot. My usual reported range at 90% is 220-230 in the spring/summer/fall. When it gets below about 50 is when I start to really see it drop. Worst I recall seeing is around 170 at 90% so that would represent about a 25-30% hit to range. if I need...

I used to travel for work a lot and drove all kinds of different rentals. It's always a crap shoot which side the filler is on...there is no normal flow of traffic into the gas station because there is no standard for which side it's on because there are cars from all over driving on our roads...

No, at reveal it was clarified Frunk is universal for both.

Since we are spit balling... Ramcharger's 3.6 V6 is making 280+ hp and paired to a 130kw generator (170hp). There are losses so it wouldn't ever be a 1:1 and you also don't want your engine maxing out RPMS to generate peak power if you're at all concerned about NVH. I don't think there's ANY...

100%, larger battery on the non-harvester model. Using the space from the battery for a gas tank. That's going to be at least 25% of the battery capacity, I'm sure of it. I linked to the reveal where they state this.

I quite like the look. I doubt, in practice, the oblong shape of it would take any getting used to. At least they didn't do something dumb like the telsa yoke. Gross.

That's a nope from me on looks alone

Ramcharger has 130kw generator with that V6 so it's capable of producing up to 175ish hp....I suspect Ram sized the generator to be able to keep up with towing demands. If the Scout has a 3 cylinder and we very roughly estimate it has a generator half the size as the V6, at 65 kw that's 85hp...

Well....you said "Drive down the road"....which means only the horsepower and torque necessary to keep it at a reasonable highway speed. But the BMW is doing that with a little 2 cylinder engine and generator that's producing...what..35 hp I think? The Ramcharger with its generator is...
