EV Channels Review
This episode of the Chargezilla series focuses on off-road capabilities and suspension tuning for the converted 1965 Ford F-100. The reviewer highlights the electric powertrain's instant torque, which easily navigates obstacles like the "holes scores" and "logs." A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the collaboration with Fox Shocks, where the team tunes the 2.5-inch shocks to improve ride quality. While the truck excels in articulation and off-road prowess, the reviewer notes that the older leaf springs contribute to a "prairie dog" effect on certain terrains, indicating room for improvement. The video also touches upon the cost of EV conversion components, with the F-100 build totaling around $45,000. Overall, the F-100 demonstrates impressive off-road potential, especially with the upgraded suspension, though some limitations inherent to its classic chassis remain.
