Is it easier to convert these electric vehicles between lhd and rhd than combustion engines?

Is it just a case of steering column shifted and pedals moved, the rest is just switches and buttons?
 
Ford as a global company is on its ar*e financially and has been for a long time. When you find out the price of some of the vehicles they sell in America its no wonder its almost like the rest of the world subsidises the American buyer. You won't get one over here for that price for sure.

Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford, says the new Bronco could be sold in Europe, but hasn’t given any clues as to RHD availability. He also races a historic mk2 GT40, which makes him the right kind of guy to be running Ford.
There is a Bronco in the UK at the moment on test, I do hope it comes to Europe

I definitely would. It would be less than half the price of a diesel as a 4 door with back seats here, because of our 150% tax on fossil fuel cars and none on electric at the moment.

That is not true.
In 2018 Morgan Stanley analysts stated that the Ford F series pickups accounted for 90% of Fords global profits

You can comes with sockets front and back. you can also run your house from its battery for up to 3 days if there a power cut.
Would barely run my house for a day if sh!t hits the fan. :scratchhead: I'd love one, but knowing that there's going to be 24% Vat and some added it'll cost 50k€ here. :rolleyes: And i'd buy it as a family car.

If i could get one for that, i would have it tomorrow. Here a Ford ranger with back seats is over €100k. None are sold like that.

Prices starting at €36,000, £31,000

Range 350 miles for the base model.

I'd buy one, would you?
230 miles range on base model.
But yes I'd be interested, or the Rivian.
But I bet it'll be more than £31k
