I really have no problem with someone who wants an EV, and there’s a case to be made for, say, a Tesla as a daily commuter.

But none of these options are anywhere close to being viable towing options. They wouldn’t even handle a dinky little airstream that a gas engine easily manages. We were considering a larger trailer and rig a while ago, and the obvious upgrade is to a larger Ram 2500 or 3500 class truck. You can still get those new, but there are jurisdictions that are trying to ban the sale of diesel fuel.

I hear the sound of an axe being sharpened with all of these regulations and pressure to move electric.

I’m OK with folks buying EVs. I would even consider a reasonably priced one for local driving. Might even be kind of neat. What gets my back up is the govt pushing these things. Let the market decide, unassisted & unmolested, whether EVs make it or not.

(The wife had a Prius. I picked on her about her “roller skate”, but it was a great little car.)
