[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1642634, member: 35314"] Ford would surely wait to see how quickly the Lightning gets accepted by customers before making such a big change. I would guess that they go with a hybrid model first though, as that would you wouldn't have the same range issue. There are quite a few issues I'd want to see fixed or improved before I make that sort of investment. Range isn't so much the issue, but the charging times. It's fine 95% of the time, but if I decide I want to drive to Florida for example, I don't want to have to have the trip take twice as long because of charging, and then have to make plans to charge while I'm there. I probably would end up just renting a vehicle to avoid the hassle. The other big issue is depreciation. Your batteries will hold less charge the older they are, and thus you'll get worse performance and lower resale value (I would think, haven't looked at used values). They need to find a way to keep battery capacity high or economically be able to switch out batteries. [/QUOTE]
