Pick up trucks that that have large towing capacities mostly have twin turbos now which increases gas mileage significantly. The 100 mile estimate for the F150 Lightening at 10,000 towing makes it useless. I respect Car & Driver's opinion on this.
Didn't say on that link
EV laggard Toyota says its next-gen EVs will have over 600 miles range | TechCrunch
Toyota's new technology roadmap will see the company's next-generation EVs with 620 miles range come to market in 2026.techcrunch.com
can't find anything more specific
But that’s not what we’re taking about. We’re talking about a truck with a 300 mile range at towing capacity.
Have to stop for gas or charge either way.
Getting gas takes 5 minutes. Charging an electric car takes 4 hours.
750 miles in ten mins dawg
Are watching back to the future again and thinking it’s real?
For now. Back in them old days, there were not stations to fill in those 5 minutes. But somebody decide to put some money into infrastructure. Weird...

Video: Massive Line of Electric Vehicles Wait to Charge After 11 PM
Biden’s pipedream of an EV-dominated future is crumbling by the day amid mounting reports of recharging nightmares.
Electric Bus Loses Power Going Up Hill, Rolls Backward and Crashes Into Line of Cars
An electric bus crash serves as one more reminder that those who push EVs under the pretext of saving the planet merely crave power.
If Cali continues on it's path, it won't have much of a transportation network in 15 years. They don't have the power grid to charge EV's. Most people have no place in their homes to charge them even if they did have the power. Diesel powered trucks will be unwelcome, so food and equipment deliveries from outside the state will diminish to unsustainable levels. But hey, at least you're saving the planet right?EV market could become the 'next big flop': Economist
Car companies falling victim to "EV mania" could see their market values be the "next big flop" to hit Wall Street – and thus, Americans' wallets, says Steve Moore.
"The federal government is also already offering all of these sweeteners to get people to buy electric vehicles. You get a $7,500, basically, check from the government every time you buy an EV. Let's not forget that we're subsidizing the battery companies, all of these things," Moore noted.
"I think the car companies would be smart going to hybrids where you can have gas and an electric battery," the economist and adviser suggested. "But the car companies aren't making those cars. And the reason they aren't making them is because the government has increasingly mandate[d] that all cars be EVs."
Bad news for California.
Meh. Could be teething problems. The refueling/recharging aspect of these cars was not very well thought out, in the mad push for introducing EVs. It worked well enough when it was only $50k Teslas and the rich assholes who could afford them; they either had access to enough charging ports of their own, or didn't cram the publicly available ones. Now that the cars are a little cheaper and there are more of them, the infrastructure still isn't there. Maybe it gets fixed in the next 10 years.Video: Massive Line of Electric Vehicles Wait to Charge After 11 PM

Yeah, but couldn't this happen with any bus? Plus, it was in SF, so there's a decent chance that crime, drug abuse, homelessness and poop were involved somehow...Electric Bus Loses Power Going Up Hill, Rolls Backward and Crashes Into Line of Cars

Studies have pretty much shown that EVs are better for production, usage and end-of-life emissions, versus gas-powered cars:

it's likely they have reached the point where everyone who really really wanted an EV now has one. The next wave will be those who are on the fence, so it is very likely that the demand has slowed until they get over that next hump.Just heard that the major Automakers have said that EV sales have 'Stalled'
Nobody is buying, and in fact Dealers can't even get people to test drive one.
