Buy 7 and use a different one every day of the week.

I predict the future of the Ford Lightning pickup truck.

Lightning rarely strikes a person and never strikes the same one twice.

Tech is way too new for me. When Air-Force-One travels to Japan on electric motors then I’ll consider taking another look.

Electric is fine, it’s the battery that sucks and there is no real solution in sight for the next 20 years.

If my 2010 F150 was an EV, I would already have taken the original battery pack to a Toxic Waste.

They have to wait for five days? It’s their own fault for not attaching a sail to their vehicle. That’s the only way I travel. Both Al Gore and Greta Thunberg approve of my set-up. And that’s all that really matters.

Welcome to the great outdoors.

Enjoy your stay

The battery might take a long time to change but it makes for a very effective roadside flare.

On 120v. Why would you be surprised by this?

Just charging your car battery on a 120v plug from dead is a 2-4 hour process…

Charging batteries with enough energy to move a 2-3 ton vehicle 200-300 miles would take days.

This isn’t shocking, it’s simple math

[circlecity]

And doesn’t using a “fast” charger dramatically reduce the battery life? And don’t those batteries cost around 30 grand?

There are many reasons to buy an ICE car instead of an EV.
There are many reason to buy an EV. My wife and I have both an EV and an ICE pickup and like them both.

Imagine an EV-only enthusiast loudly proclaiming: "But. But! It'd take forever to fill up a dually's tank if the filler hose was no bigger than a drinking straw!!! So there! ICE cars are stooopid!" Us ICE owners would laugh at them! That's why when I fill up my ICE pickup I use a larger fueling hose than a drinking straw. LOL

That's what it's like when ICE-only enthusiasts say, "But, it takes forever to charge an EV with a standard 120V outlet!". Us EV owners laugh at that. LOL That's why when I charge my EV at home I use one of my 240V outlets set anywhere from 20A to 40A. And since it's not a kWh hog like the Lightning, I get about 39 miles for every hour charged (when charging at the max I charge at home).

[Chode]

providing the outlet is one thing, but they should have a creditcard slot to pay for it...

[Openurmind]

Lol, and the hits keep coming...

The pair then plugged into the 240 volt — Level 2. The result was much better, but it was still going to take about 14 hours to get to a full charge.

Think what YOUR city would look like if people pulled into a gas station and had to wait 14 hours to 'fill up the tank'...

[Robert DeLong]

Did they have a gas powered vehicle come rescue them? 🙂

[bigbob]

I’ve never seen a campground with electric that doesn’t have 240v 30a service. Cheap recharge as the price is per day, not based on consumption.

"Journalists" discover....

Engineers just shake their head.

Except they didn’t drive to Alaska, they drove to Washington State and then took a ferry to Alaska.🤔

If you want a really fast charge just extend a very tall antenna on top of your EV truck, connect it to your EV’s battery and wait for a storm.
