EV Channels Review

This episode of Tech Charged delves into the evolving landscape of electric vehicles, with a particular focus on Ford's F-150 Lightning Pro. The discussion highlights the recent reappearance of the Pro trim on Ford's configurator, previously restricted to fleet sales. Key observations include the absence of the 98 kWh battery option, the renaming of the 123 kWh battery to 'extended range,' and potential pricing inaccuracies. The hosts express a desire for all Lightning models to feature over 300 miles of range and 500 horsepower, suggesting the elimination of the standard range battery. The conversation also touches upon the strategic importance of LFP batteries for fleet customers due to their resilience and ease of charging to 100%. The episode underscores Ford's adaptability in navigating supply chain challenges and policy shifts, particularly concerning battery manufacturing and potential tariffs, positioning them for future market demands.
