Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

F-150 was originally quoted to be 40k. The debut price was 68k.

How about a small, cheap, electric car? Am I insane here, I have no use for a pickup and like being able to park.

There are several small, affordable electric cars on the market already. Affordable electric pick-up doesn't exist.

Also, a mid-size pickup fits into a normal parking slot just fine.

The Maverick could easily be turned into an EV. They have chosen not to. A platform that retailed for 20k just 2 years ago, a perfect small truck.

They instead, have chosen to raise the price so that the truck I bought for 23k 2 years ago, now costs the same as a Ranger.

All this talk to brag they’re gonna match the “price structure” (whatever that means) of a vehicle that starts at $53,400 by 2027.

What a joke.
