I went to the Ford site to look into their EVs earlier this week. Their site on EV info is so disorganized and unhelpful. Trying to figure out how much charging would cost and the logistics of long-distance travel is way too confusing. They’re even messing it up with a subscription plan to their in-network chargers.
I suspect this is part of the reason people aren’t buying Ford EVs. Buying a car from a dealership is already too antagonized because we all know they’re trying to rip us off. To try to balance it out, shoppers try to gain as much knowledge on the car so they know what they’re agreeing to. However, when the car comes with all this new technology that changes the way we maintain them, and available info is scattered, indirect, unclear, and potentially costs even more, that will push away people that don’t want to deal with it.
Yes we’ve adopted, now build cars that are fucking better for an affordable price.
We need to mandate EV adoption, not rely on consumer demand, the amount of misinformation directed at EVs has been extremely effective. They aren’t perfect, but they are a hell of alot bettet than Internal Combustion Engines which spew poison into the environment . . .
or yknow… just get rid of car dependency
That would be preferable.
Oh yeah that’s going to happen, just totally tear down and rebuild a century of car based infrastructure.
EVs are necessary, because even though that should happen, it won’t.
I mean they tore down the country based off PT, so they can do the other way around.
Why a pay walled link? Feels like this is an ad.
It’s very annoying when people do this. Here’s a link to the archived version: https://archive.ph/w1XBt
