In a sub $30,000 vehicle?
There is a reason the current system offered by GM and the former system by Ford cost $10,000+ and still doesn't work...
This is a very complex and complicated ask. I don't see it happening at this price point.
Booooooooooo!!!!!!
Dislike this hard, hoping it's just speculation and not true.
One of my favorite things about my Lightning is how similar it is to an F-150 inside and out. I hated the Model 3 center screen only when I rented one. Ford, don't make this truck too Tesla. Make it still Ford please!
What PHEV does she have?
My wife isn't convinced by my Lighting, she wants to take the interim step of a PHEV SUV first. We have been casually looking at a Mazda CX-90 PHEV but not seriously.
I want to start a discussion about Ford X-plan pricing and applicability for the Fathom. Has anybody heard if it applies or is excluded?
My employer offers X-plan with Ford as a benefit of employment. If your employer doesn't, joining Mustang Club of America is an option.

There...
That is a pretty rigid viewpoint...
Almost everything is not official at this point. But it's fun to search through the info that is available and try to draw conclusions.
For a prototype vehicle, isn't that the point of the forum until the order guide is released?
Lots of options for a NACS plug equipped Level 2 charger. Emporia is my personal favorite. It can be equipped with either J1772 or NACS.
This is also the case with lots of Level 2 chargers for home use. Just swap the cable for one with plug you need. Lots of manufacturers offer the cable...
Happy to see Ford themselves posting in this thread and on the forum.
I'm excited that they've released some more info, but always wish it was more. Excited about this vehicle.
Hoping Ford will extend my F-150 Lightning lease roughly 6 months so that I can keep it before delivery of a Fathom
