    In the actual E-car range, however, it looks like a real dark editor:
    Only for 2024/25 Ford has the already almost as outdated VW flat-definite MEB »Overrising” and a separate platform does not seem to be in sight .. &# 128577;

  2. Beautiful thing, the app. The car is a bomb! Very smart because he represents electromobility as a productivity advantage. The Extended Version with probably 180 kWh brings the electromobility into new dimensions. Ford is known to become the market leader in the pick-ups and manages to sell 1 million copies in good years. In a few years, the purely electrical. And where is Tesla? Nowhere! And that’s a good thing, because her silly children’s car would have no chance against the market leader.
