I don't need my vehicle to go vroom-vroom.
Gotta admit....I like it when it goes "vroom vroom"...
I'll be all about a solid hybrid though...

Explorer didn’t get it either but there’s a hybridDon't be, they could not even get Sync4 in it.
Agreed. That’s the big unknown. I did see something by cool the other day where a company is experimenting with charging stations that are retrofitted onto existing street lamps, parking meters and telephone poles. May not be as much as a dedicated station but super accessible and easy to expand.I am an optimist.
The more full EV or plugin Hybrids/ Hybrid vehicles are sold over the coming years, the lower the demand for gasoline and so the lower the gasoline prices for me to enjoy my ICE powered cars....until when in the future when EVs have worked through the issues of range anxiety etc at which point I am in.
Not interested in planning my road trips based on the location of charge stations. Charging has to become as easily accessible and “transportable” as gasoline stations and gas cans for some of us to abandon gasoline altogether.
What if we attached wind turbines to cow tails?Methane gas bad, wind good...
If Nikola Tesla hadn't been jobbed by JP Morgan then we would have free electricity being beamed out all over the place.I am an optimist.

That engine is going to be 445 cubic inches of swapper's dreams! They've already pushedthem over 600hp with just a cam/intake swap, and they're relatively small because of the pushrod design--it's narrower than the coyote and will fit right in a fox body.That engine is insane!!
I thought that engine was like 700 something HP? Am I confusing them? Someone posted something the other day. Good engineering is awesome.That engine is going to be 445 cubic inches of swapper's dreams!

Currently have a Tesla Model 3 and love it! The range is more than enough to suit my needs, low- to no-maintenance, pennies to charge at home but also public charging stations are popping up everywhere, and perks like being able to drive in the HOV lane by myself or designated parking spaces at local shops are the icing on the cake. I was excited to hear about the possibility of a PHEV Bronco coming down the pike. Gonna get a manual, CG Big Bend in the meantime, but if the PHEV or an all-electric Bronco surfaces a few years from now, I'm all in!I do think that some of the worst parts about electric offroad will be solved over the next few years as more people adopt but man, this is hard. Gas is really just so cheap and easy right now. Currently reserved a Badlands with the V6 but feeling torn. Would love to hear other thoughts!
My feelings exactly. I'd love a hybrid thoughFactory manual transmissions will be gone before fossil fuels.
I want one last non-sports car manual transmission before I can't shift anymore.
When the technology is there for a Bronco that's all electric with 600-1000 miles of off-road range, then I'll get one.
