I do not own an EV and never will. Driving long distance in an EV does not scare me since there are charging stations plenty. What scares me is a highway closed due to bad accident on a cold night. There was just such incident on I-95, EV drivers ran out of battery and were seen walking on the highway trying to find a heated shelter in Trucks.

I bought a used 1 ton 4 speed dually Chevy 454 in April of 1986==39 years ago.

Towed horses all over until 2002.

It came with 90,000 miles on it & I put on 250,000 MORE.
Installed NEW build engine in 2005.

Paid $4000 for truck-—Paid $6700 for new build.

Paid for gas & maintenance for 39 years.

STILL CHEAPER THAN a fancy EV-—and THAT vehicle CANNOT TOW my horses.

:) :)
