Reply to comment by InvisibleEar in Ford’s EVs are getting faster charging and more affordable batteries thanks to new chemistry by Ssider69

Probably has to do with developing cars/engines/batteries/manufacturing technologies around specific voltage/amperage, so it's not as easy as just wiring a different connector in.

Yeah I don't know, I'm not an electricity man. But they can't ignore it forever. I'm happy with my used Leaf, but I think between the limited fast charge options and the battery management I wouldn't recommend people but a new one.

Yeah we went from Leaf to Chevy Bolt and I'd recommend the Bolt all day long over the Leaf.

Yeah I may have wasted money trying to save money but with my income I felt sick signing for 25k or more.
