The comparison math in this thread is v bad, particularly OPs

spot on estimatedMath doesn't lie, but marketing folks do.
Really if that's the case why would I need amazon to send out an electrician? I can change a light bulb and plug in electrical devices into a wall socketIt actually is a plug in electric. You can charge it from the wall outlet in your house.
How does it drive? Is the acceleration pretty decent? I really donāt care much about the efficiency comparisons between it and the Bronco, I just want something I can actually drive in the next 12 months.We got a 4xe for my wife. She loves it and was tired of waiting for our Bronco reservation. I'll keep the Bronco for myself instead of it being hers, so it works out better anyways lol
The dealer applied the $7.5k off of msrp at the time of the deal. I'll try and get extra money from the fed come tax time too lol
Currently trying to get a charger installed. Can also get up to $1k back from that through federal rebates. There might even be some state money too
It drives pretty well, still Jeep like, but definitely better than previous versions. The creature comforts are way above previous models as well. We've got the High Altitude which has most of the bells and whistles and a really nice interior.How does it drive? Is the acceleration pretty decent?

I know the fanboys say āYouāre not buying it to drag race,ā which is true. But getting a twin turbo engine, while still getting crap mileage and apparently dogshit slow to mediocre performance, is disappointing.
You don't have to plug it in to drive it. So if you're on a long road trip you can, as an example, switch it into "hybrid" mode which works a lot more like a traditional hybrid, recharges the battery as you drive, doesn't use it all up in electric mode, etc.My question is: If youāre on a road trip and not going home to your plug in, how far out of your way do you have to travel to plug in? Since theyāre building all these green new jobs that are placing these charging stations all over the U.S., isnāt the cost of charging going to differ from state to state, just like gas? Is the tow guy bringing an adaptable solar panel and a gas can for ya?
The only other thing Iāll add to this is you donāt need a super charger or anything like that. If you can find a standard wall outlet, you should be able to plug in (at least you can with most other EVās). Itāll be slow as heck, but if youāre overnighting in a hotel or something, it should be pretty decent overnight.You don't have to plug it in to drive it.

You actually wouldn't have to ever plug it in if you didn't want to, but that wouldn't be efficient use of the technology.
