Wow, that’s excellent for the money. BYD shark looks great too (range extended ev though). Both super compelling for the prices.

No surprise. Ford’s strategy has been to not release EVs, and then complain that the competition is allowed to release EVs.
A couple of years ago they looked like they were taking the segment seriously. But they’ve released nothing in their main markets after the Mach-E and F150 Lightning. Outside their core markets, all they’re doing is releasing rebadged vehicles – the “Explorer” (rebadged VW id4) and the Capri (rebadged id5).

That’s hideous!

It’s like a rivian R1T and a Ford maverick had a disfigured baby. That needs 40 minutes at a charger?
Man I wish Toyota didn’t think electricity was a fad.

This thing’s specs are just confusing. The only explanation is they used the cheapest batteries they could get, but it’s not really that much of a discount. 102 kwh but only 115 kw charging is bad. Not to mention only 260 miles of wltp range. If it was EPA I’d be more understanding but that low of range plus a 40 minute 20-80% charge is rough. And it still starts at the equivalent of 66k dollars.
