Multi-vehicle households?

[Cabel]

I'm just curious as to how many Mach-E owners are a "one car" family, or still have another ICE, another BEV or PHEV for longer trips, hauling, or other "missions"?

Well, there's the Fusion Energy, the turbo charged Miata track toy, the ford ranger, the motorcycle and if all else fails the John Deere tractor....

Only having EVs makes no sense to me at all. I still have a fun toy and also a backup beater of questionable reliability that I can't bring myself to part with....both gas engine vehicles with manual transmissions. I have a gas/manual motorcycle as well (although some electric motorcycles look intriguing). Some things just don't need to be "solved" and gas engines with manual transmissions is one of those things. Gonna be a sad day when there is nothing but EVs to drive.

If I had more space, as we enter retirement, I'd keep the 2013 F-150 when I can buy a Lightning, but right now I have room for 2 vehicles and a boat. I have dreams of having 3 vehicles though. Wife doesn't have same dreams though.

97 F250, unlicensed, never leaves the farm. It gets worked to death
17 F150, hauls stuff to and from the farm, tow vehicle (Lightning reserved to replace)
13 Explorer, 7 seater for hauling grandkids and road trips
09 CR-V, wife’s DD
Mach-E, my DD
Just because:
65 Mustang convertible
53 Chevy 3100
78 Super Beetle convertible

Our child is staying with us right now so there's my Tacoma, a Gen1 4Runner, a Prius, a Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager, and Honda ACE Shadow in the driveway. If there was more space, there would be two Gen1 4Runners, but we get ticketed for staying on the street during snow removal season. When we get the Mustang, we'll have the Mustang and a Tacoma and the motorcycles, and Spawn's vehicles will be at their new place. We'll eventually replace the Tacoma with a BEV truck that can tow, but it looks like it will be '23 or '24 before that's possible.

2 Mach Es and 3 ICE vehicles.

...not a choice on the survey.

But... the ICE cars are antiques, not dailies.

 

[PalsyWalsy]

2016 Enclave (ICE, for family runs, with three active kids)
2013 Lexus ES300 Hybrid (Wife car, works from home, though we may replace with an EV)
2006 RX400 Hybrid (my car that I will replace with the MME GT, and let the kids use as they get their license)
The aforementioned GT on its way
2015 Hyundai Accent (supplied for my niece since she has financial troubles)

First question: WTF? Yes you are correct, that is a legit question.

Second Question: Am I good at Tetris? Yes, since I have to do it everyday with this many god blessed vehicles in the driveway or garage.

Mach E + Audi PHEV.

 

[highland58]

Mach-E, Nissan Leaf, and F-250 (the truck has not been driven in months).

I have an Expedition, Explorer, 69 F100, and motor cycle. I will trade in the Expedition when the MME arrives unless the wife can’t part with it.

GTPE is my daily driver. I have a 2007 Shelby GT500 as my weekend toy that makes a wonderful noise and has an important lever in the center console.

My wife's daily driver and weekend toy is her 2019 F-150 Lariat. We had his 'n' hers Fiesta STs as our daily drivers (a 4-car family), but we sold her FiST because values were insane, and I traded my FiST on an Escape Hybrid in February 2020 (I traded the Escape on the GTPE).

I think we're a 3-car household for the foreseeable future. We have a 2022 F-150 PowerBoost Lariat on order (again, because we can sell her '19 for stupid money), and we'll probably eventually replace her PB with a Lightning, depending on range while towing.

3 drivers, soon to be 4. 2 cars currently:
'12 Sonata - daughter learned on it, son will learn on it
'18 SantaFe - wife's car, our vacation/long trip car
'21 Mach-E (sometime soon?) - commuter car for me & my wife

This whole WFH thing is the only thing which has made two cars tolerable for so long.

My wife drives a Model Y and we have a 2016 Ford F150. We will keep the truck for my son to drive if....... the Mach E ever arrives.

I rebuilt my last ICE engine in 2012 and I said never again. I figured I'd get a used LEAF or Bolt but I need a long range vehicle here in Idaho and the Bolts were having battery issues when I put my order in for the Mach e. If I wasn't already investing in the Mach e I think a good value would be to buy a used Bolt and get a whole new battery from Chevy. practically a brand new car. I usually buy used ICE beaters but these newer emissions vehicles are becoming a real pain to work on.

We currently have:
2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara (wife's car and most dependable for long trips right now)
1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass (mother in law's car, you can literally watch the oil leak out)
1999 Geo Metro (my daily driver nice for short ranges but questionable long distance)
1993 Ford F150 (utility vehicle, gas sucker supreme)

Eventually we will have all BEV's
