Legacy giant Ford has stirred the waters yet again in the realm of electric vehicles (EVs). While some may have perceived a backtrack, Ford’s recent alliance with TXU Energy unveils an audacious infrastructure undertaking. Nonetheless, the market responded with a cold shoulder, slicing Ford shares by a modest 2% as Monday’s curtain fell.
Ford’s collaboration with TXU Energy aims to furnish consumers with substantial cost benefits for charging their EVs at home. Addressing the nomadic reluctance in today’s drivers, tethered to the whims of charging stations, the Ford-TXU pact intends to revolutionize this narrative for the better.
The brainchild dubbed the TXU Free EV Miles initiative dazzles with promises of bill credits for all home charging between 7 PM and 1 PM. With 18 generous hours daily devoted to recharging, this scheme alleviates the pressure on existing EV infrastructure and casts a brighter glow over prospective buyers, especially those eyeing Ford’s EV lineup.
Exploring the Combustion Frontier
Yet, Ford isn’t ready to wave goodbye to its combustion engine roots. Dispelling any fumes of abandonment, Ford remains steadfast in the gasoline domain. A teaser recently unveiled a forthcoming addition to the Ford Bronco family christened the “Sasquatch package.”
Tailored for the 2025 iteration of Bronco Sport, the Sasquatch enigma is a tantalizing off-road package. Enthusiasts can anticipate features such as 17-inch obsidian wheels, a lofty stance suspension setup, and engaging front and rear axle locks. While not a catch-all for off-road aficionados, it still packs a solid punch.
