FORD MUSTANG GOING FULLY ELECTRIC

GNBRETT said:

Electric is the future. Said it before, saying it again. U cant compete with the mighty $$$$$$ and that is what manufacturing companies see. PROFITS!!!!

Tesla is not the only company riding this out..... Ford has way more money and sees how popular electric is becoming.

Electric is what ppl will buy cause it will get a FAR better driving range distance vs. gas and a lot FASTER than what is currently available. I bet it has a 600+ mile driving range as well.

Shit, if Tesla can produce a car NOW that has 600 mile driving range im sure Ford can top that over the next 7 years. A very small percentage of Mustang owners modify their cars so most won't care and im sure electric will have the ability to be upgraded as well and will have programs and tunes ppl can buy and surely upgraded batteries at some point.

By then most of ur manufacturing companies will all be going electric or plans to go electric. Gas cars will start to be phased out within the next 20-30 years no doubt! Im betting low 10's right off the showroom floor!

If the MachE could hit the range and charging speed of Tesla, at the current cost, I would get one. Certainly they should be there in 7 years. What everyone is forgetting is that at some point there will be some type of tax on electric cars as well to first make up for the gas tax and second to help fund elec infrastructure. At some point the environmentalists are going to admit that electric cars are not zero emission and demand a tax. How dare tou mot ride in a train.. But yes, ev is still inevitable.

Gay. Canada will surely have 90% of the all-electric mustang buyers.

lol!

Sooner the world goes electric, the sooner the chinese can complete their full, and total control the world. They've nearly completed full control of all the worlds known precious metals.

**** electiric vehicles.

Will "cash for clunkers" be implemented in obamas third term, thats starting today, or will he wait until his fourth?

I am not anti-electric. I have owned one and........My point is that I am not sure many will want to buy an 10.2 sec electric Mustang vs. say a 10.4 sec crossover SUV. I do believe a small niche will and heck I may as a toy, but I see most going with utility over a few tenths on a track or that they will never use. I just see that there will be much less Mustangs on the road than what you see now, but maybe that is coming regardless given the demographic desires.

I believe they WILL buy an electric Mustang over an all-electric CUV if the Mustang drivetrain is set up for more than just straight-line acceleration. And/or if the vehicle design is radically different to the point the customer prefers the design of the Mustang over the design of the CUV. An all-electric Mach-E should handle differently than an all-electric Mustang coupe. By the time we get to the point of a majority of all-electric vehicles, the majority of the public will have been acclimated to all-electric vehicles, just like they're now acclimated to CUVs & SUVs over sedans. They've quickly adapted. How did that happen? The car makers stopped making sedans and coupes (for the most part).

After all this hype-horseshit settles down in this thread, somebody do me a favor & post the main source that creates electricity in our country. Is it fairy dust or another source?
Post the findings here.

Maybe. I will give you the different look may bring some it, but would point out that the Tesla model S handles pretty damn well and is not a "sports" car. I just think the technology of the EV is going to make the overall performance differentiation of vehicles much less. I don't think there is any way the government is going to allow 9 sec cars that cost $30K (in today's $) that most people can just pick off the lot. Too much of a safety concern. More likely you will get your 11-12 sec car in either coupe, sedan, CUV or SUV version. I guess therein lies the opportunity for the aftermarket.

Of course the Tesla’s and other evs are going to handle well, their whole center of gravity is much much lower than a traditional ICE vehicle, since evs have a skateboard architecture

Yes. That was my point. Almost all cars will be better performing than today, but I see almost all performing the same. Except for maybe the few who want to try to squeeze a bit more out.

No idea why this goes for six-figures when a used Toyota Sienna will walk all over it.

Huh? Because you will see a handful of them in your lifetime? Whats the point?

Where did I say or imply 9-second all-electric vehicles? Seriously? It's a given that we're not going to see 9 sec. (1/4 mile) vehicles. We will, though, see affordable all-electric high-performance vehicles, over and above what we have today. And I'm not talking (again) about just straight-line performance.

Agreed. I just think it will be much more of a niche than the amount of muscle/performance cars that we see on the road today. Maybe not though.

Sarcasm.

Again, no one is talking about the enormous gorrilla in the room which is a National electric grid that can not handle all these electric cars that are being shoved down our throats. Our infrastructure is crumbling and overloading the system with electric only cars is a smart idea. Right.

Very true and I guess we will see what happens, though it seems they are making pretty big strides in the batteries and charging efficiency. I still think there will eventually be a tax to make up for the gas tax and grid improvements. Though they will wait until the EV is more widespread.

We should all re-visit this thread in 5 years. Seriously, it will be interesting to reflect on what really happens/happened over the next five years as far as all-electric vehicles go. A lot could happen between now and then, either way.

Here's a serious question related to this thread. By how much would the existing U.S. electric grid need to be expanded/improved to support a potential of even 40% of all registered vehicles being all-electric? Could we reach a point where the grid cannot be adequately expanded to handle 75+% of vehicles being all-electric?

Here are a couple of articles I read this morning.

1. Plug-in electric cars came on the market in 2010, and over 1.4 million have sold since.
When the first plug-in electric vehicle hit the market in 2010, just 300 were sold. All were plug-in hybrids since all-electric cars had yet to enter the market. All-electric cars came on the scene the following year with just over 10,000 sales — alongside 7,700 plug-in hybrid sales — bringing total plug-in electric vehicle sales to 17,700, or one-tenth of one percent of all new light-duty vehicle sales in 2011.

By 2019, plug-in electric sales climbed to 327,000, making up almost 2% of new light-duty vehicle sales that year. In contrast to earlier years when all-electric and plug-in hybrid sales were somewhat evenly matched, almost three-quarters of all plug-in electric vehicle sales in 2019 were all-electric models.

Forty-five models were sold in 2019, but the all-electric Tesla Model 3 was the most popular by far, with over 154,000 vehicles sold — or 47% of total plug-in electric sales. The Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid was next, capturing 7% of plug-in electric sales.

Just over 1.4 million plug-in electric cars have sold in the United States as of 2019 — with about 60% of those sales in all-electric cars and 40% in plug-in hybrids. Plug-in electric cars accounted for just under 1% of all 146 million new light-duty vehicle sales between 2011 and 2019.

2. GM's path to an All-Electric Future.
GM is on its way to an all-electric future, with a commitment to 30 new global electric vehicles by 2025. We are aggressively going after every aspect of what it takes to put everyone in an EV because we need millions of EVs on the road to make a meaningful impact toward building a zero-emissions future. GM is positioned to design, engineer, and produce EVs for every style and price point, and we are rapidly building a competitive advantage in batteries, software, vehicle integration, manufacturing and customer experience.

doubtful, right now the number of vehicles with autonomous driving are going up and yet claim volume is staying the same or slightly dipping.

I bet its only "slightly dipping" because of the rise in accidents from texting and driving.
