The majority of the car buying population will still be a relatively short drive away from an electric Ford sitting on a dealership floor, however Ford has yet to confirm specifics in regards to dealer locations. California and other green-oriented states, will doubtless have the lion share of dealers moving forward with EV investment, while other states, such as the Dakotas, have yet to fully commit.
The reality is that electric vehicles remain relatively expensive, while hybrids remain an attractive proposition. Dealers are naturally wary of having to invest the $1 million or so needed to install DC fast-chargers and train staff as part of the Blue Oval’s certification programs when sales of the F-150 Lightning have tanked in recent months.
