And, in my F150, I get about 600 miles on a tank from the storage system at highway speeds. and that’s with 5 people and luggage for each. It costs about $100 for that tank refill. If gas ever returns to non speculative pricing, it’ll be half that.

Certainly, your F-150 has a different performance envelope than my Corolla ... but they have two points of commonality that are of particular interest.

1) Multiple hundred miles of range per charge.

2) VERY rapid recharge rate.

Those two items, along with some passenger comfort issues, are the biggest problems facing the electric car.
