And 5 days to put it out if it catches on fire. kekw /s
Yeah, they'll improve 0.1% per year for a few years and hit the inevitable battery plateau. The billions of R&D yielding 0.1% annual improvement used to be called the "law of diminishing returns." But Biden is going to sign an EO outlawing that primitive concept.
Let’s add to that. They won’t have any power to their RV for 5 days either.
“Having made that drive from Pennsylvania to Fairbanks in 2013”
That’s the point. You wandered off the manor without your lord’s permission (lord in small letters, not as in God).
The mobility of the peasantry must be ensured to achieve our neo-feudalistic society, the only way possible to ensure the planet doesn’t reach auto-ignition temperature (sarcasm).
Hoovies vid has gone vital.
Good for him.
Bet them folks in FLA are wishing they had a Ford lightening to power up their house like the ads show. For how long? When will the AAA battery charging truck be stopping by? Oh, right before the fire trucks?
Maybe we can add some more power loss steps to make it look more magic.
this is all moot
once they go all “green energy” electricity will be so expensive
only the rich and powerful will be able to afford personal transportation
the masses will be on the bus worried about whether they can afford to heat their home
IMO EVs are generally a bad idea. In some uses, an EV is not as bad an idea (urban commuting) than in others but EV trucks don’t make sense to me at all. An fully-changed EV truck can handle a huge load because of the massive torque the electric engine produces but the massive energy draw will so quickly deplete the battery that the truck is not feasible for moderate or long hauls. Kind of kills the utility of a work truck when one its primary purposes is so compromised.
And the brain-dead libs in my family would say “That’s why the feds need to build more charging stations.”
A simple solution for maroons.
Facepalm....
Look at the bright side, you get 5 days to show off your truck to everyone at the campground.
I Rented an Electric Car for a Four-Day Road Trip. I Spent More Time Charging It Than I Did Sleeping.
Our writer drove from New Orleans to Chicago and back to test the feasibility of taking a road trip in an EV. She wouldn’t soon do it again.
Using lib logic the answer is simple, we need a bigger sun.
current electric cars are dead end Technolgy...I have hope for the future, but it won’t be with current battery technology. I envision someday the road system will deliver the electricity to the car and the battery might carry a charge that’s good for 30 miles when not connected to the road electrical grid...the 30 miles is just an arbitrary number....for the foreseeable future we need gas powered vehicles and only idiots are pushing for the current electrical cars being standard in 10 years.
On a related note, say goodbye to the Ford Transit Connect...

Ford lies. I would think a big lawsuit will be happening.
No defense for Ford. Use the electric vehicle and you will be stranded for hours somewhere.
