    2022 First BEV, All BEV by 2030 as Lincoln Celebrates it 100th Anniversary in 2022

      Lincoln first fully electric vehicle will debut in 2022 as Lincoln moves to be a full battery electric portfolio by 2030. Effortless, personalized luxury experience is the Lincoln way as part of the Ford+ plan 

     

    Mid-decade Lincoln expects half of all global production to be zero-emission vehicles with the goal to be 100%BEV globally by 2030. This is part of Ford Motor Companies plan to invest $30 billion in electrification by 2025. gm just upped their investment to $35 billion, time for Ford to up theirs?

    Per Joy Falotico, President of Lincoln, "Electrification will take Quiet Flight to a new level with the smooth, exhilarating take-off feel and serene quietness our clients expect from a Lincoln." 

    The company will move forward with all-new RWD and AWD battery electric flexible architecture that will enable Lincoln to deliver four new distinct BEVs. The first electric Lincoln will join the existing plug-in hybrid Aviator and Corsair SUVs in 2022 and is the start to be an all-electric brand by 2030.

    To quote the Lincoln president, "Our clients deserve the very best from Lincoln. Our world-class vehicles, effortless services and advanced connected technology will allow us to create an always-on relationship with them and help transform the Lincoln brand for the future." The Lincoln Way app will be one way they will deliver an enhanced suite of connected services that will become the norm of the electrified future.

    Quiet Flight DNA is the brand's evolving signature design and drive experience with maximized luxury comfort for all. Spacious interiors that create the ultimate expression of Lincoln sanctuary, a rejuvenating space with clever storage solutions, minimalistic panels, expansive panoramic vista roof to enhance the natural light in an airy open feel.

    Lincoln is proud to off their coast-to-coast display that offers a sweeping view of the horizon, Lincoln's new digital design language. CONSTELLATION includes exclusive themes showcasing the night sky allowing clients to choose the theme that best reflects their current mood.

    The Lincoln Enhanced Platform will feature over-the-air software updates quarterly keeping your navigation system on the cutting edge and in sync with your Apple or Android device via the SYNC 4-enabled system. Lincoln offers the Lincoln ActiveGlide for hands-free highway driving using advanced camera, radar and driver monitoring technologies.

    “The space that surrounds you has an immense effect on your overall mood,” said Kemal Curic, design director, Lincoln. “Crafting a space that goes beyond the traditional – a serene sanctuary that elevates the senses and impacts a client’s mood every single day – reveals that as designers, we contribute so much more to the overall experience than just creating vehicles that look good.”

    Highest sales satisfaction among luxury brands was recently bestowed on Lincoln by J.D. Power and Associates. The dealer network is key to delivering an effortless, connected experience for our Lincoln Clients. Today one third of Lincoln purchases are completed oinline through the Lincoln remote sales platform. Lincoln is continuing to integrate a complete digital experience online while backing it up with their global dealerships providing the ultimate in client services.

    To Quote:

    “Technology allows us to enhance the traditional transaction and make the ownership experience for our clients as convenient and effortless as possible,” said Michael Sprague, North America director, Lincoln. “Meeting clients on their terms is important today, and will be even more so in a digital, connected future.”

    In North America, a focus on the top 130 luxury markets, Lincoln is growing their Lincoln-exclusive Vitrine dealerships. Simplifying the buying process, this experience moves away from the traditional transaction space to a modern experience centered around the client.

    To date, 28 all-new Vitrin facilities, including Lincolns first boutique established in Arizona have opened across the country with another 50 in process.

    Look for an upcoming reveal of the first of many Lincoln BEVs.

    I was a longtime Porsche fan, even after VW ownership (and that is exactly what it was, in the end) but they are just ridiculous high for all the wrong reasons, even with being great driving machines. I miss my dads "undercover VW" '74 914. That had the old VW flat four with fuel injection. My dad swapped out the fuel injectors for a couple of twin barrel Webers, that ran great for about a month before the backfiring problems started and ruined everything lol. Such a fun little car that I only got to ride in, as my dad was not about to let his 16 year old son drive his baby, especially after that same son got a speeding ticket in an '81 Chevette (yes, it is possible to get one in a Chevette).

    Right, it is amazing the eco box's that can still get you into trouble with speeding tickets compared to performance auto's.

    I actually got more tickets in my 69 Ford F250 Camper special than any other auto I owned.

    • One thing that you could do that is very efficient for those that want to go rural.  240V generator. Yes, this means you still burn some gas, but the efficient way of being able to run a very compact small generator and charge up your EV has immense benefits imho. Amazon.com : Gidrox 2500W Portable Inverter Generator, Super Quiet Gas Powered, EPA Compliant, RV Ready, CO Sensor, Parallel Capable, Clean Power for Camping or Party : Patio, Lawn & Garden Amazon.com : Generac 3,300-Watt Gas Powered Portable Inverter Generator - Lightweight and Compact - USB Ports for Device Charging - Produces Clean, Stable Power - Great for Home Backup, Camping, and RV Use : Patio, Lawn & Garden Here you could have the right 240V plug to allow charging of your EV which also means you could pretty much go anywhere. Dual fuel means to me I could run it on Propane allowing me to BBQ out camping and still recharge my EV. Now if you want charging equal to a dedicated 80amp L2 charger at your home, then you need a portable generator that can produce 10,000W or 10kW. At that point then they do get a little pricey but are worth it. Amazon.com : Generac 10,000 Peak Watt Portable Gas Generator - Electric Start - Home Backup or RV Ready - Heavy Duty Frame - Quiet, Long Runtime, Emergency Power - 49-State Compliant : Patio, Lawn & Garden Amazon.com : Gidrox 10000W Tri-Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, Gas, Propane & Natural Gas Powered, ATS Ready, 50A Ultra Outlet, Remote Start, CO Sensor, ECO Mode, Quiet Inverter for Home Backup & RV Use : Patio, Lawn & Garden I see this as a flexible solution if you especially go with an EV truck, then just add the generator with a propane tank or gas can into the bed. Alternative ways of thinking about how one charges their EV. Stories where folks cover how to charge your EV with a Generator.

    • Please test drive one, you will be shocked as to the interior room. The head of the Mach-E program is a 6'2" tall burly man who made it a requirement of having 3 of himself in the back seat, space is good in both the Mach-E and F150 Lighting. I have no problems with the space. My issue is as you know the 400V system.  A used Mach-E is a solid way to go to move into an EV at a much lower price to get used to the changes of EV life. I do not like cats for many reasons and some would turn a person's stomach due to what cats will do.  Dogs on the other hand have a much larger loyalty and would rather starve to death by your dead side than eat you like a cat will. I grew up with dogs and while I have no desire to own one as they are forever babies that have to be fed, cleaned up after, etc. I like my freedom to get up and go any time without having to think about the dog.
    • I truly hope GM reverses this mistake, but they seem hell bent on wanting to control your choices and options, as such, I have truly bought my last American Auto in my 2006 Escalade. Glad to hear you have such great credit as it seems to be a rarity in the south. Yes, higher power is more efficient, and the components last longer. This is why China has standardized for moving to one of two standards by 2030 for all EVs. 1000V or 1,500V It would seem 1000V would be in entry level EVs and 1,500V will be in mid range to luxury EVs. This also goes along with their mandatory charging standards where all EV charging will be one of two forms, 1000V or 1,500V charging. China approves mandatory standards for EV charging - EFS Consulting The benefit here is reduced mass due to more efficient electrical flow on the wiring harness and less heat leading to longer life, longer range and less waste.
    • In doing some basic surfing about pets, I happened onto some gratuitous unpleasant information where, if you were to pass away and there were cats inside the residence who had not been fed, they would start eating your body within about a day. I don't know if a dog would do that ... or if it would take a lot longer for that to happen. I still like cats.  However, this helps confirm that I still like dogs more.
    • I like the response of Dfelt on this, learning something.  My issue would be charging in rural areas. I go a LOT of rural places to hike/bike/camp, and would want to be able to re charge it in middle of nowhere Oklahoma.
