I'm not anti-EV. I'm anti-forcing to EV's. When I type about pros and cons of EV's it's about use cases (if one's particular needs and wants are best met with an EV). That said, I simply don't see a practical reason for a large EV pickup. Anytime you use it for large loads you greatly reduce the range. They should have made EV versions of the smaller trucks. People who buy those tend to use them mainly for commutes with every now and then small pickup chores. Those are potentials for an EV matching one's use case (assuming other things are also true, like have a place to charge at home, drive enough commute miles to warrant needing to save on gas, is married and need two cars anyway so you have an ICE car for long trips that an EV won't do, don't live up north where the cold winters make EV's perform horribly, etc.).
For example, back in my early 20's to mid 30's I had a small 4-cyl pickup that was great for my needs. I used it mainly for commuting to work (in the early years for commuting to both full time work and part time to college). Even after I finished college and had more free time my pickup chores were small -- mostly things like putting dirty lawn tools in the back. By the time it got worn out enough to have to replace it in my late 30's, my pickup chores became more frequent and often heavier. So I replaced it with a larger pickup.
If EV pickups had been a thing then, I'd had been interested in one back when my pickup chores were light (small EV pickup) but not after I started every now and then pulling a trailer or carrying a bed of heavy cargo (i.e. cinder blocks to help a family member way out of town, or every now and then pickup chores for the church).
Exactly- there are uses for ev in certain areas and situations if one so chooses to use one, but overall, it will be a bust if they force everyone into electric only vehicles.
I’d also like to know what they will do when they do force everyone into e.ectric everything, and nothing changes climate-wise- issue us all refunds? Compensate us for the hassels of electric vehicle ownership in certain climates? They will never admit a mistake, and will simp,y claim that “we must do more to help the climate” whatever that means
