We have solar panels on our house and 2 EVs in the garage.

We are thinking about a 3rd EV. The Ford Fathom pickup truck.

We are looking at it for a little run around and the occasional dump run usage.

We don’t like putting garbage in our Mercedes EQS 450 or my Mach E.

The Fathom is coming out mid 27. It will be the first vehicle with Fords new UEV platform. Universal EV platform. Starting price is $28,350.

The Fathom will be a great choice for 90% of pickup owners if they are realistic about their uses. Just like the Honda Ridgeline would be a better choice than an F-150 or Tacoma for most suburban dwellers like me.

What does one do with hybrid or EV cars if it’s going to sit in the garage unused for 2-3 months (or more). Hybrid - just connect a battery tender? EV - same? Do nothing?

i would plug in the charger, the car would charge to the limit set, 80% for me, and it would go to sleep until you got back into it.

Why do you say it would sit unused for 2-3 months?

If it was the case then a battery tinder for the 12v.
