“An electric pickup - what a dumb idea ....”
The new F-150 has a 450 mile range on one charge and can out pull the gas and diesel trucks in the same class because ev’s create more torque.
What’s its range while it’s outpulling the gas and diesel trucks in the same class because ev’s create more torque?
Bull sh@t.
That F-150 450 mile range or the 400 mile of the GM EV goes to 200 miles when towing. Then you stop.
That’s a good range...however someone here pointed out that EV’s would not be good for use as emergency vehicles due to the charging times. And some of these vehicles are based on pickup trucks.
If a city purchased a fleet of electric police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, etc. they would have to purchase additional vehicles.
When there is an emergency you cannot wait for the vehicle to charge, so some would have to be busy charging while others would be prepared for use.
Charge times would have to get below 10 minutes from fully discharged to fully charged to be practical as emergency vehicles.
“The new F-150 has a 450 mile range on one charge”
You are so gullible. That would be brand new. Totally flat ground. Pulling no extra weight. NO AC, NO heater. Ect...
But you gobble the propaganda right up.
I’m amazed at how many otherwise intelligent Freepers are drinking the government EV koolaid, as if anything the rats push on our republic is in our interest.
