New Ford Ads Debunk Electric Car Myths, Promote Fun Factor

Finally, the time has come. While some automakers are still pushing back against EVs, Ford has decided it's high time to spread the truth.

The Detroit-based Big Three automaker opened the floodgates recently by showcasing a prototype all-electric F-150 towing over one million pounds. Now, Ford is revisiting that video and adding a few more to its official YouTube page. Not to mention teaming up with electric automaker Rivian for future EVs.

The concept basically starts with a question, such as "Who says electric vehicles can’t tow?" or "Who says electric vehicles aren’t fun to drive?" or "Who says electric vehicles can’t drive in snow?"

Then, of course, Ford answers these questions by proving the myth wrong. Hopefully, we'll see a whole series of these videos in the near future. We believe that with a company like Ford spreading such information — and debunking the misinformation — it's bound to have a monumental impact on the future of the segment.
