A factor to think about for sure. A gas backup is good to have. That is the advantage of a hybrid, 2 in 1.But a half hour charge every 200~ miles.
All good points. EV is not for everyone. ROE on an EV is not there yet but getting close. Fuels do go up/down in price so you never know. The real benefit is fueling at home, diversifying your transportation fuel, little to no maintenance, less dealer dealings and driver experience.I looked at buying a "Y" since the price drop...but with a 2022 bronco 2 door, and a hybrid mav along with an EB mav...I just couldn't come up with enough saving to justify the Y. The hybrid has averaged 40.8 mpg since I have owned it, almost 23k miles. Although the Y is more efficient, with KW being roughly .25 at charging stations...it was pretty much a wash. Living in SE Michigan, the range drop in the winter is roughly 25 percent. I also have an F150 lightning reserved...within the first few hours...but like everyone knows...ford has been pulling my pud on placing an actual order. Wanted to go with the pro at 40k, now it is 56k and not even available. They want you to take the lariat plunge at 75k. Can't do it for 200 miles.
OK, fair enough. So why would you be looking at a Maverick in the first place?Saving $ on gas is not a factor. Not using gas, few moving parts, ease/little to no maintenance and driving experience is.
I have owned (2) EVs.... I love the concept, the charging at home, the efficiency...granted, they were both early models, the 2012 ford focus ELECTRIC (Yes ford made an all electric focus), and a Mitsubishi I-meav...aka the jellybean. They both had ranges of less than 100 miles, but in the city, where I did ALL my driving in them, they were very efficient. My electric went up 15/month and I drove 1,000 miles a month roughly. Maintenance FREE is a huge bonus to EVs which people do not know about.All good points. EV is not for everyone. ROE on an EV is not there yet but getting close.

The hype, possible fleet vehicle (but I don't think my guys would drive it and I bought 2 sierras since), possible future vehicle for my 14 yo but to nice lol, check it out....OK, fair enough. So why would you be looking at a Maverick in the first place?
Love that Bronco 2-door. If they deliver the promised BEV version, I'll all over it at any cost.

Not only that, his insurance will most likely negate any fuel savings. Then add in higher rate of depreciation. When the new model comes out or when Hertz dumps their rentals fleets... used Tesla will be dime a dozen.I love the fuel argument.
go bust out a calculator and let me know how long it’ll take to recoup the 30k difference.
let me know when they finally refresh a model.
I never said anything about "saving the plant". To your point, batteries have its own environment issues (mining, disposal, etc.). The science cuts both ways. There's always a cost to energy.It is not a $$ thing with people who buy Teslas. If they can afford them, then more power to them. Don't all of us Maverick owners know by now, it is a "Saving the Planet" thing, but not sure what will happen down the road. Read this morning where Climate Change crowd is now trying to stop mining - where materials come from that GO INTO THE BATTERIES OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES. When that happens, guess we will be back to bicycles, but then that will be stopped because we are breathing too much from such exercise we are emitting carbon dioxide or something. Enjoy your Tesla, Texas needs the employment.
Because giving other posters a hard time about their Kias and Hyundais - I would be a total fan boy if I didn't rib you for ordering a compact/mid-size SUV that cost 1.5-2x the amount of the Maverick and doesn't give you half the functionality!!!!!With the recent price drop, I went ahead and ordered a Tesla Model Y Performance. I know, not the same vehicle or price. I already have a truck so the Maverick was just an extra vehicle for gas saving. The Tesla will deliver in about 1 month, I have no idea when the Maverick will be here.... I will check out the Maverick when it delivers, if it ever does... Mostly for the wife but with an EV, Bronco and a truck I don't see much need for the Maverick anymore.
Sure screw almost a decades worth of used car data that would totally refute Mr. Woozoo's emotional claim that used Teslas depreciate when in fact the total opposite is true.Not only that, his insurance will most likely negate any fuel savings. Then add in higher rate of depreciation. When the new model comes out or when Hertz dumps their rentals fleets... used Tesla will be dime a dozen.
