EVs are the least reliable vehicle type: Consumer Reports – Yahoo Finance

Yahoo Finance reporter Pras Subramanian details a new report that listed the most and least reliable types of vehicles. More

Consumer Reports: EVs Less Reliable Than Gas-Powered Cars

Electric vehicles (EVs) have fewer moving parts than gas-powered cars. That mechanical simplicity, advocates say, should lead to fewer part failures — and more reliable vehicles — over time.

The logic behind the argument is sound. But the numbers aren’t yet proving it true, according to Consumer Reports.

CR comes by its data differently than most reliability studies.

The magazine doesn’t test every car on the market. Instead, it asks its readers to report problems they’ve had in the last 12 months, then compiles the results for vehicles built since 2000. As a result, its data set is limited to the cars CR subscribers own.

Rivian R1S 2022 – News, Reviews & Muse


While it’s hard to doubt that the Ford F-150 Lightning is the most significant electric truck of the moment — outside of Tesla’s hyperbolic (and still non-existent) Cybertruck — it’s the Rivian R1T that seems to have captured the hearts and minds of most would-be EV truckers. Fast and capable with tons of range, the R1T is the perfect solution for a lot of the EV-curious out there, even though its recent price hike made it even less attainable than before. However, the R1T was always intended to be just the first wave, the tip of the consumer spear for this California-based startup automaker. The followup is the R1S, which takes the same basic formula and packages it in a likable SUV shape. [Read More]

Rivian R1S review! The Rivian R1S is a truly amazing electric SUV, and today I’m reviewing it. I’m going to show you all the cool quirks and features of the R1S and show you what it’s like — and I’m going to get behind the wheel of the Rivian R1S and drive it to show you what it’s like behind the wheel.

2022 Rivian R1S | Review & Road Test – Kelley Blue Book

For the latest Rivian R1S pricing and information: https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1s/

If you’re not familiar with Rivian, it is an American electric vehicle startup whose first product was the R1T pickup truck. The R1S SUV is the follow up. Compared to its closely related pickup kin, the R1S is 16.3 inches shorter nose to tail with a 14.7-inch shorter wheelbase. Otherwise, the R1T and R1S are quite similar mechanically.

A $6,000 cheaper 2-motor setup is on the horizon for now the R1S uses 4 motors, one for each wheel. Their collective output is massive (835 hp / 908 ft-lbs), helping propel the R1S from 0-60 mph in as quick as 3 seconds according to Rivian. Despite that power, tow capacity drops in the R1S to 7,700lbs versus the R1T’s 11,000 lb max.

Regarding range, it’s an EPA-estimated 316 miles for the R1S with the current 135-kWh “Large” battery pack. A cheaper “standard” battery paired with dual-motor AWD offering more than 250 miles is slated for future model years as is a “Max” battery pack exclusive for the pickup with more than 400 miles of range.

Like the R1T pickup, the R1S makes clever use of interesting textures, colors, and materials to convey an upscale yet welcoming feel…[Read More]

Ford F-150 Lightning Pro for 2022 – News, Reviews & Muse

(Video) Driving This Electric $47,000 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro Taught Me a Lot More Than I Expected – TFLTruck

by Nathan Adlen

With the recent introduction of the Ford Maverick and now the all-electric 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro, Ford is showing the working class some love. Now there are fleet solutions that make life even better – potentially.

The post (Video) Driving This Electric $47,000 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro Taught Me a Lot More Than I Expected appeared first on The Fast Lane Truck.

 

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro: This Electric Truck Is Built to Work – MotorTrend

by Alisa Priddle

Ford has a new name for the work truck version of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning full-size electric pickup truck. It is the F-150 Lightning Pro, and it goes on sale in May 2022 for under $42,000.

We also have a better idea of how Ford is able to offer the Ford F-150 Lightning lineup of electric pickup trucks at a surprisingly low price: starting at $41,669 (with destination) for the standard battery and $51,669 with the extended range. The sheer volume of F-Series sales—about 900,000 a year—provides huge savings by leveraging economies of scale. Ford kept the dimensions of the SuperCrew cab and 5.5-foot bed of the Lightning and Lightning Pro the same as their gasoline counterparts so that there is a giant shared parts bin to pull from.

The other key: Ford has a number of services it will offer customers, and while many will appeal to retail customers, it is the commercial fleet owner or business truck operator who stands to benefit the most from data and software-based services designed for maximum uptime and productivity. And Ford will benefit from the subscription and user fees.
