Exactly why I had to confirm this with Ford USA and Ford Europe, more so for anyone new to EV ownership. Type 2 being Europe's standard would come off as common knowledge to the more experienced EV owners here.Yes, this surprised me when they popped the charging hatch on the Grabber Blue GT prototype at the Washington Auto Show and it had a Type 2 CCS inside ?
I wonder how many reps were actually able to answer those questions. Sometimes the people they have at auto shows aren't able to answer all the questions.Exactly why I had to confirm this with Ford USA and Ford Europe, more so for anyone new to EV ownership.

Admittedly, it was news to me.
I guess with the Mach-E being priority in Europe it made sense (logistically) for Ford to execute the way they did at US shows.
Ford reps probably received a lot of questions about the charge port type.
I go to the NYC auto show almost every year. Most of the attractive people who work the floor are temps from modeling agencies who get a crash course before the show. There's a subset of MFG reps who travel with the show but even those folks aren't too well educated.I wonder how many reps were actually able to answer those questions.

That is hilarious. How in the world can ANYONE be driving a Tesla and not understand it is an electric car? It was also painful to watch. I would have had to jump out and tell him, Dude, that's a TESLA!
Laugh if you will but someone at DMV issued this guy a DL🤪
Apparently more common than I could imagine . . . and those are only the ones where someone took video.I actually googled "where is the gas tank on a tesla" after watching that video -- just to see what it says.![]()
Even better: when you google “where do you put gas”, the first thing that appears is “where do you put gas in a tesla”😂I actually googled "where is the gas tank on a tesla" after watching that video -- just to see what it says.![]()
The power of the Elon Musk cult is strong.That is hilarious. How in the world can ANYONE be driving a Tesla and not understand it is an electric car? It was also painful to watch. I would have had to jump out and tell him, Dude, that's a TESLA!
