It'll be interesting to watch where recharging costs do go (perhaps especially so if you're not being directly affected). Car mfrs and consumers both wanting electricity costs to remain at least semi-stable on the one hand, power companies and big investors having a rather different agenda. It's a bit doubtful that either you or I will see that play out to completion.
Well and beside any possible sinister motives, there's a natural reaction of supply and demand. If demand increases, prices generally go up. It will cost a lot of money to build new power plants all over the country and increase the capacity of power lines. Anyone who uses electricity will have to pay more due to the supply shortages, and everyone will have to pay for the infrastructure improvements as well.
Mustang is the top selling sports car in Germany the home of the 911. That says we (Europeans) are indeed buying the Mustang a lot.
As a percentage of over-all sales, non-domestic sales are about 16-17%.
I agree but Mustang sales even in US are way less then Focus and Fiesta and F150. So the Mustang is not high priority for Ford anyway.
The Focus and Fietsa are gone my friend. Finito. Ended. Disappeared. No more.
If i was a corporate and wanted a global brand I probably will discontinue the Mustang if I don't want to build different cars for different markets was my point.
How much are you willing to bet that the only reason we got the S550 is because it was to be a global car. Ford is a global company and because of that has to think globally. Just thinking domestic no longer works in today's economies.
Only for US. We are waiting on the new Focus RS this year and we just started getting the new Focus ST. So they ended only for US as you guys are not buying them.
Aren't the Focus & Fiesta in Europe built there, and a bit different from US models?
And with the building of new power plants to charge EV's more pollution thus proving EV's are not going to save the environment.
I think EVs as they exist right now don't save the environment. They just change the types and locations of the environmental impact. And there is a huge burden of cost to bear for making the change artificially rather than just letting people decide to buy what they prefer and allowing market forces to work.
The two largest energy providers in Michigan are DTE and Consumers Energy. Here’s what they have to say on the topic. I’m sure power companies in other states are following similar paths.
Supposedly there is, or at least can be, a net reduction in pollution when the dirty part of generating power is at a relatively few large stationary sources as opposed to being in millions of small mobile sources. Operating under relatively constant load vs highly variable loadings clearly favors power plants.
