EVs are losers, except as glorified gold carts.

Maybe you got it right the first time - gold carts.

An F-150 EV can't tow without losing most of its range, and is prone to dying for no reason. Silly to spend a hundred grand for that.

Previous winners of the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year™ (NACTOY) awards were the Chevrolet Bolt and Chevrolet Volt so they’re really picking some doozies.

Diesel generator in the bed would work.

The Lightning ws demonstrated to lose a TON of range while towing a heavy load (a Ford Model “A”).

Basically, a toy for the wealthy.

The Lightning will probably get a price upgrade to match the battery upgrade too.

By the way, what model EV do you drive?

It is my retirement dream to cruise on “floating petri dishes” and drive around in “glorified golf carts.”

There’s a shock. It’s almost like the awardees were pre-determined or something.

It’s not an EV. Why don’t you trade it for an EV?

I posted that to you months ago and you keep repeating the same question.

“and drive around in “glorified golf carts.””

That would be an upgrade from your present.

Ford’s F-150 Lightning electric pickup won for having the shortest range before having to recharge for many many hours.
