[Tell It Right]

My wife and I like our EV car and there's no way I'd get an EV truck. When we decided that the next time we had to replace one of our cars we'd get an EV, there's a reason it was never going to be the pickup. The pickup has to be ICE, only the car (or crossover) can be an EV. And even that assumes you're in a good climate for an EV and have other things in your favor for an EV (i.e. place at home to charge it).

For example, according to my math with this truck: adding 100 miles in 10 minutes using a 350kW charger results in 1.7 miles/kWh. When charging from home assume a 5% loss converting AC to DC and it's 1.6 miles/kWh. That might be okay for an EV truck, but you can do much better with an EV car. And since an EV truck won't haul a long way without charging a lot, why make the truck be your EV anyway?

I can see having an electric small car for errands around town and a gasser for loads and long trips.

I plan to buy a used electric when supply greatly outpaces demand and they’re selling at depressed prices.

I saw interesting article and chart the other day about 350KW chargers. The big power dump happens within the first 30% of battery capacity. At about 50% of capacity, charging curves start to match up with the slower 120KW chargers.
