All my teachers were dumber than me. You vying for that spot too?
“The battery in a _____ weighs:
A 3000 lbs
B The same as a 1980’s Chrysler minivan
C The same as a late 60-70’s Chevelle
D All of the above.”

Substituting:
“The battery in a 3000 lbs weighs:
“The battery in a The same as a 1980’s Chrysler minivan weighs:
“The battery in a same as a late 60-70’s Chevelle weighs:
1.5 ton
Killing off the designing of efficient hybrids may have backfired, que?
Just so you know.
“Yes it does but it’s a net loss”
But a smaller net loss and saves wear and tear on brakes.
Yep.
A recent review of the F150 Lightning showed the towing range VS a Standard F150 Diesel. The trailer was pretty close to max weight rating.
The F150 Lighting only towed the trailer the equivalent of 4 gallons of Diesel fuel.
It’s completely impossible to use an EV to towing.
I guess I just lost my shot of sitting alongside your teachers.
didn’t pose much of a challenge.
“The F150 Lighting only towed the trailer the equivalent of 4 gallons of Diesel fuel.”
Which diesel truck gets 35 mpg while towing 7000#?
Missed it by 35 seconds, LOL!
“I see you are into childish name-calling instead of factual discussions.”
Childish name calling is one of the staples of FR. You’ve been here long enough to know that.
“Childish name calling is one of the staples of FR. You’ve been here long enough to know that.”
I have been called every name in the book here.
I don’t know what you dreamed up.
Point is it didn’t get very far. Hills, weight, and wind resistance were the biggest problem. Then when you get to the RV Park you have to choose between recharging your vehicle or running your RV.
I guess you could use a generator but that’s kind of defeating the purpose. In wintertime it would be 1/3 that but the diesel would keep humming along like nothing changed.
This is extreme but it shows in a crystal clear fashion how poor battery efficiency really is. Those mileage ratings are pure garbage. There are way too many exceptions to the rule.
You ducked the question.
“This is extreme but it shows in a crystal clear fashion how poor battery efficiency really is.”
But still more efficient than the diesel getting 11 mpg.
“I don’t know what you dreamed up.”
Just using your numbers.
The batteries were dead at the same distance of 4 gallons of diesel?
“The batteries were dead at the same distance of 4 gallons of diesel?”
Yes.
