Electric-only people get in here! Who's going full EV? 🔋

[Golfguy]

Saw @DaveM's Harvester EV+Gas thread so thought us Electric only people should have a thread too So who put order deposit down on the Electric only model and why'd you forgo the Gas Range Extender option?

I still plan to keep an ICE vehicle around even into 2027 when the Scouts will hit the market, so figured I've got both bases covered anyway.

If it gets anywhere near 300 miles or range, and the 800v architecture works out, I am staying EV. I currently own a standard range Mach-E. Its been great so far, I am sure I can make this work.

I live on an island, only so far I can go and I don’t tow. All EV will suit my needs.

Went EV only because of the tesla adapter. Not sure that we will all be hitting the overlanding trails with either full EV or gas extender in 2026. Gas I think is still king of off road.

EV only works for me. Its still more range than my standard range Lightning which has been plenty (most of the time). The faster charging will resolve any potential range issues for me.

Of course I could change my mind when the full specs are out... A built in backup generator doesn't seem like a bad idea but need to see how much cargo space is lost, what it adds for weight, and what the service needs are. In my perfect world it would be removable!

I reserved full EV. The gas motor is going to add costs complexity and maintenance for something that I'd probably need once or twice a year (If that).
I will tow a horse trailer and a camper so the range anxiety is real, but I don't think I'll really need the range extender.
Additionally it's going to reduce payload and possibly even towing capacity.

We’ve been full EV since 2020. Have had absolutely no issues with it. We live in PA and regularly drive to SC to visit my mom and stepdad.
