Ford Explorer.

Absolutely

I had an Explorer with whatever the highest trim package as a loaner while my Mach E was in for a software fix and I loved it. I don't want it to be a simple, touch screen version of the Explorer, either. I loved the features it had and the tactile physical controls for everything. Just want it to be an EV instead of gas

What current ICEV would you most like to see as a BEV?

I really enjoyed my 2011 Acura TSX. Trouble free car for seven years. I was sure my next car was going to be an RDX because I wanted an SUV style vehicle while staying with Acura. Sadly no EV options (at all or even on the horizon) lost me as a customer. If Acura ever makes a compelling BEV, I may go back.

I agree about Acura. I have a 2015 MDX which I love (had at least 5 Acuras over the years) and really don't want to get rid of it. But, when I was in for my last service visit I asked a sales lady (whom I now know as I had her daughter as a dental student) if Acura was planning on coming out with a hybrid. She told me a few years ago they did have one model that was a hybrid but they dropped it. I don't know why and like you I sure would be willing to look at a hybrid (plug-in hybrid would be ideal for me like the Honda CRV Plug-In as we take our MDX on long trips so I'd have the best of both worlds). I wouldn't be interested in a BEV though which is what they are saying about the "Reveal."

Just saw the tease about the "Reveal" three days from now so I'll be very interested in what they are coming out with.

Honda’s EV is plan is just too far off to get excited about any of it. Last I read they were gonna use the GM platform?

I agree. I bought the MME after my 2017 Ford Explorer lease expired (extended for 1 year while i waited). The MME is a place holder until the Explorer EV is in production. Looking forward to that for sure.

Mustang 2-door coupe, for all the haters.

Yet another Acura convert here. I wanted a sporty electric Acura/Honda sedan and would have bought an EV spiritual successor for the TLX Type S or the Civic Type R. Sadly, Acura appears to be way behind here. As much as I love my Mach-E, I have to admit missing revving my Civic Si's K20 to a screaming but buttery smooth 8100 RPM's.

I just helped my grandson with buying a new 2022 Civic Si in Pearl Gray and he loves it. He isn't revving it up like you are (I hope) and he's still somewhat tentative about shifting a manual transmission. I took delivery of his car at a dealer around where I live and had to drive it the 1 & 1/2 hours up to his house which was really "exciting" (yeah, I was scared a bit) as I hadn't driven a stick since I was 16 and I had never driven a six speed.

I suspect, aside from maybe a Jeep Wrangler with a soft top, a convertible EV is mostly out of the cards due to weight and safety. As someone who has a Wrangler for playing off road, I'll be sad but not totally surprised if even a fully EV Wrangler doesn't have a soft top

Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma as long as it doesn't come with the self separating wheels, and many would like to see the Ford Mustang as a BEV I bet.

Probably you're right, but you'd think the rigidity of the battery skateboard would be awesome for a convertible. No extra weight needed to stiffen it up.

An EV Triumph/Alfa/MG would be sweet, but I'd miss the unsynchronized shifting and percussive maintenance on the carbs.

Mazda Miata for my wife so she can replace her 1997 that she loves so much... (Yes, @dtbaker61, I know about your e-Miata and I'm insanely jealous, but haven't found one like it and haven't found a reasonable conversion option.)
