Yes, absolutely. Day 1 reserve.

Loved my Mach-E GT, didn't want to let it go but forced to. Like my Bronco. EV Bronco would be great. 2 door with frunk would be extra storage.

i am also coming from a Mach-e that I drove for the last 15 months waiting for my bronco and honestly am going to miss it. I have a rivian reservation just in case but would be day 1 for electric bronco. Going to be hard to go back to a gas vehicle. But it just got picked up today and I am picking up my bronco Monday. It will be my last gas vehicle fore sure.

Agree. Shit works for the mall parking lot but ain’t no way in hell I’m trusting whatever “range” calc Ford comes up with deep into trails at elevation with steep climbs eating up power.

The TFL test on YouTube should’ve opened peoples eyes. F150 Lightening got 88 miles on full charge pulling 6klb trailer. Estimate was completely off and crew almost didn’t get to charge station. Total joke.

Hell no for me.

Hell no. Hydrogen fueled ? maybe ... Too long for fill ups and too limited range, + the electricity has been coming from mostly fossil fueled generating plants, so not as green as some people think - if we switch to nuclear generation only maybe another story.

If it's priced anything like the eWrangler I can't afford it. I could barely afford my Basesquatch. Aside from that any electric power is welcome- even if very short range.

Same for me. Got a First Edition February of '21. Traded it for a GT September of '21. Pretty much forced to trade in my GT, ended up with a Bronco 3 weeks ago. My GT is so damn bad looking. And I miss a lot about it. I REALLY loved it.

I realize for people who do serious overlanding, all day off roading an EV won't be great. I don't do it that much, and we have a new Defender if we need to.

I could aways see why a highly subsidized e-vehicle makes sense for a few, now hearing all these people trying them out for a year or two, only to go back to gas, only re-enforces my view, that they are mostly hype.

They’ll make one for sure. They’ll also slap on a $15k premium and only allow it on top tiers. So buckle up for an $80k non-Raptor Bronco EV

not even close to hype. Fantastic vehicle. I ordered my bronco 2 years ago and just wanted to see it through. I have a reservation for a rivian so might be back to electric soon. Me taking delivery on my bronco does not mean I did not love everything about the Mach-e. I was very close to just trying to flip the bronco but would have been a bigger hassle. So I will enjoy it for a year or 2 and then hopefully move on to a rivian.
