Ford needs to do it right because Tesla and Rivian don't have the ability to do an EV pickup that will please pickup fans and GM will half ass it as they always do.

It’s quite simple. Ford does not have the electrical technology experience, the software, the battery manufacturing capability, or the proper customer outreach to warrant an all-electric pickup. Ford is a fat old dinosaur sinking into the tar pits while those pesky little mammals like Tesla are scurrying around are selling those new-fangled electric thingies.

GM is the king in terms of BEV pickup trucks. They already have the Hummer in production stages and maybe release in a year from now! Tesla is like 18 months away and Ford’s F150 is around 3-4 out!

When they have enough charging stations available - then Ford needs to Worry - maybe in 20 years or so.

You have no idea how easy it is to set up charging stations versus a gas station. I have seen some go up, get through permitting, and be active in 3 weeks.

Hummer EV pickup is not "production ready"...availability is slated for late 2021. Ford F150 EV prototype has already been shown. Ford needs to get the EV pickup right...they can not risk using unproven Rivian technology on that franchise.

Maybe Ford should consult with Lionel. They know lots about electric transportation.
