That's definitely an interesting real world report for your 'should never have been called a Mustang' Mustang. Ha
Just curious, are those DC fast charge stations where it's taking hours? I don't have an EV but a couple friends with Teslas say the DC charging takes like 20-30 minutes to get you back on the road at around 80%. It does take long for the 80%+ levels.
I thought long and hard about the F150 lightning last year but just couldn't see it fitting our range needs for towing/camping/road trips, etc.. But because I do 90% around town driving I went with the hybrid F150 and it's perfect. I went from 10-11 mpg with my Ram 1500 to 18-19 around town. Highway is not bad either around 22 realistically, although I have seen it doing the rated 24 on flat with no head wind. And it'll go almost 700 miles on a tank. Hard to move away from that just yet. I agree that EV seems far from full replacement now but hopefully the momentum will deliver that next big battery tech needed to make it more feasible. We'll see..
I'm hoping this project car pans out well since I don't have any real critical expectations of it. It definitely should be fun power wise - if it can do the 140-150 range that's been estimated I'll be thrilled. If it does 100 miles that's fine too. If it does 75 it'll still be fun on the weekends around town.
