What do you think about my point regarding EV “gas stations” having to be massive to simultaneously accommodate all of the vehicles sitting there to charge for an extended time? In all of the debates over EV practicality, I’ve never seen anyone mention that obvious problem. Not so much a problem in the city, but a major problem on the interstate in the middle of Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, etc.
Living in an Alabama suburb 10 miles from town I can't relate to the massive drives to a decent town like driving through South Park, CO: miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles. I just don't see putting everybody into EV's in a place like that.
Actually, I don't see forcing everybody to do anything being good. Nothing the gubment does as a one-size-fits-all is good. The only true one-size-fits-all is Jesus.
When he’s at the charging station and plugs in the truck, they pan over the front end.
The light bars are not even.
LOL
/Love me Ford trucks, got an F150 FX4 myself, over 190,000 miles, and other than the sunroof, works great!
LOL ... for about 100 yards.
No one doubts that electric motors have lots of torque. The problem is, a work truck has to be able to do it for the long haul.
# EV’s are not ready for prime time. An interim plan until the technology catches up would have been smart. The left hates us and wants us to suffer.
If they were smart, they’d be building diesel electrics. This is proven tech. Diesel engines are more efficient than those using petrol. If you had a diesel running in it’s most efficient power band, generating the electric power to move the vehicles, you get the best of both worlds ... craploads of torque, and efficiency.
Unfortunately, the enviro-nazis don’t like diesel engines.
