All lincolns to be electric by 2022

>>17842599
Doesn't that mean there will be an electric version of all models, not that none will be ICE anymore? That's the case with Volvo.

>>17842599
Is Mazda the only good brand left?

Nobody will buy an electric car if someone doesn't build charging stations.
Nobody will build charging stations if people don't buy an electric car.
Repeat.

I can't wait for 100 different types of charging station because the companies want the connectors to be proprietary

>>17842613
Mazda is building electric cars with Toyota.
Also rotary engines range extender for EVs.

>>17842607
Yes.
None of these anon will read the article (where that's explicitly stated) tho.

>lincoln/ferd copying others
No news here

They havent made a nice car and unique car since the mark viii and once the town car went out of production its was just fords with more equipment and turbo v6.

>decide to make different connectors for chebbies, buick, GMC, etc.
>go bankrupt
>no obongo this time to bail them out

nuclear power production better go through the roof because of this

>>17842599
What's next? Fucking Cadillac?

I had a feeling Ford would pull some shit like this, not on Lincoln but on almost all their Fords but their trucks.

This is what happens when the money making brand gets to dictate all the smaller brands underneath them. First they gouge their R&D so they can't outsell the large brand. Then they throw a brand under the bus in some wild helpless experiment.

>instead of burning petroleum in your vehicle, we'll burn coal at the designated coal burning stations and sell the product to you so you can store it in your giant lithium batteries.

is /o/ genuinely surprised by this?

electric cars are the way forward.

>>17842635
where I live we have quite a lot of electric cars driving around and I think the only charging station is in the supermarket. Lots of houses have electric cars on charge parked outside them in the evenings.

>luxury brands
>cars with virtually infinite zero rpm torque
>completely silent
>superior interior space because no engine and no petrol tank

is this not the ultimate upgrade?

Which happens to be really nice in the 2017 MKZ.

>>17842599
This is a good thing. Enthusiasts can have fun in older cars, luxury and commuter type buyers can have electric models. More fuel for us, fewer pigfat rich people cars shitting up the air.

>>17842613


Yes,


They actually are still all in on Gas cars and doing everything to extende their life. The sky activ X and their secret new engine both look promising

One big oil company will sell its soul and put ev charging at all its stations to make more money, it will be the beginning of the end

He actually looks sad

;_;

I'm not convinced Lincoln will be around in 2022. New aluminum 2018 Navigator is nice but who outside of black car drivers is going to buy one?

Why not? That might even be an influence from China. For a long time before China developed its own copycat car industries, senior Chinese political officials would be driven around in Lincoln sedans. That old tradition probably contributed a lot to why Lincolns still sell better in China than in the USA.

Lincoln was going to move entirely (100% parts production and final assembly) to China but Trump gave them a pep talk and they didn't officially leave. However, parts production seems to be mostly in China with subassemblies coming back for final assembly in the USA. If {{2}} chinese subassemblies are shipped to usa company LincolnSubsidiary#256 LLC and put together there with ({item}} 5 bolts, {{item}} 20 welds, {{item}} one adhesive add on, that is now a usa product because out of 5 major item blocks, it is 40% chinese (2 items) and 60% usa (3 items). LincolnSubsidiary#256 now sells that part to LincolnFactory_USA to be used in final assembly. This is an oversimplified description of how to whitewash something that is essentially foreign-made and give it a made in usa out of primarily usa components.
