Ford house had a 3/4 ton cargo van on lot. All electric - looked nice, but range is 140 miles. Not sure how any business can use that for deliveries, pick-up, catering, etc. Rivian van used by AMZ has only 150ish range.

Meh. The number of ev’s around here appears to be increasing regularly.

FL is very EV friendly, what with being flat and hot.

What will save the EV market is when Biden or a future Democrat President outlaws internal combustion engine cars.

Just as we suspected:
A 2023 Gallup poll found that 71% of Republicans would not consider buying an EV, and a 2023 Pew Research survey found that 70% of Republican or Republican-leaning Americans were unlikely to consider one.


Seven percent of Americans, up from 4% a year ago, report that they own an electric vehicle.

The most obvious reason for consumer disenchantment is the hassle of charging EVs. Few drivers are willing to plan their lives around finding a charging station and waiting around for their battery to top up. During the nation’s recent Arctic blast, motorists found that getting a full charge took even longer.Feb 2, 2024

Estimates suggest that the batteries for the Model S cost between $12,000 and $15,000. After labor charges, the total repair cost is about $20,000 to $22,000. For the Model 3, the replacement cost around $15,799.27, with the battery alone costing over $13,500 and labor costing $2,299.27.

I’d love to engine-swap a Tesla roller. I read recently many are insurance write-off because of high repair costs.
