Worst, current charging stations are not set up to charge a towing rig. Charging pumps are not spaced appropriately, even at Tesla's superchargers. What you will need to do is unhook and charge, then re-hook. Even that will take up real estate, which is a cost element of the kW price you'll pay.
As long as the world needs jet fuel, there will be gasoline and diesel, so just relax. 96% of personal transportation runs on petrol and will for 4 decades.
I'm interested in this purely from an execution perspective. Can you hint as to the construction design of the top? Is your weight target(s) in line with Ford's MIC top design(s)?
Good luck with it!
I think you are being realistic.
Looking at ADV Fiberglass website, their car-body products are basically fenders and hoods. Building a hard top for the Bronco in any facsimile to the MIC/Modular top that Ford and its major automotive industry suppliers can produce is a very tall order IMO...
After my living with a soft top on my YJ for 12 years, I decided my Bronco will have a hard top just for that reason, plastic windows eventually deteriorate; it's just a fact of convertible-top life.
I've not read the entire thread, just a few pages. If I were to build such a top, I'd add retractable hooks* in the rear section that can be flipped up to aid in removal via ropes/straps using a winch/pulley-hoist. I'd also make the rear tailgate glass panel detachable along with the side rear...
Thank you. You saved me a bunch of time. So many false allegations posted in this thread. Lol. Especially about black paint.
Ford was a mechanical genius. FoMoCo at one time in the mid 1920s had nearly 90% of the world's automotive market. He was asked to run for president several times. He...
No dealer got all of its MY '21 reservations (Sept. 19, 2020 timestamp cutoff date) filled as MY '21 reservations.
It is perfectly explained here...

I've owned 4 convertibles. I have two in the fleet at the moment. One was a Wrangler YJ. All of them got the driver wet when opening the door. It is difficult to create an effective rain gutter in a fabric convertible top.
