I see EV’s being situationally practical. An EV golf cart, completely practical. A cheap EV vehicle for in town errands, practical. But as a workhorse, for distance drives, back country... not practical.

I agree. EV's have their uses. I plan to eventually get one for my wife for "around-town" errands. She can just plug it in at night and not worry about pulling into gas stations (which she hates), getting oil changes, tuneups and all those other mechanical things that most women are horrible about keeping on top of.

No way however are EV's useful as a working pickup truck. What the hell was Ford thinking? Then again, a lot of F-150 owners never even get the truck bed dirty. Maybe that was their target demographic.

EV’s are great commuter cars.

EV trucks CAN tow but not far. So why buy one if you need to tow???

The only people that could use an EV pickup are homeowners that get stuff from Lowes or Home Depot and back home. Or local delivery folks.

The most ridiculous thing is the Ford ad claiming to use the truck to keep your house electricity going from the battery in a power outage.

Yeah, for about 20 minutes and risking the life of an expensive battery.

And I own an EV.
