So if...IF....the infrastructure was there to support charging like at gas stations, would y'all still be hatin it as bad as now? Just curious, as it seems that is the root problem talked about. It's more than that, even though the reality is the infrastructure isn't even remotely there & won't be for many years. You've got the wait time to charge, l can gas up in 5-7 mins if l don't need to piss. Reduced towing distance vs a gas fed. Price...the biggest liberal proponent for the electric truck stated that you would have to add a $10k to add a battery to get 200 miles towing. Now we're up to 80k when you can get a gas fed for half that & get 100-200 miles more range.

You know Bob, thats a very good point. What about insurance costs for EV's vs. a fossil fuel car. Can an insurance company log in and track your every movement both where you go, but also watch/record you from the vehicles cameras? That would be a HUGE invasion of privacy.

I'm not opposed to an EV. If I didn't own and tow a boat I would probably own one for 5-6 years and dump it before it needs a new battery.
I'm trying to talk the wife into one so we can flex when around my liberal friends.

I'll go so green for the green I'll be rich! If they tax my EV by the mile I'll tow it with my truck to the end destination. Heck I'll tow a generator to charge the EV.

The Jolt seems to be a problem with programming that makes them catch on fire. Tesla has had a problem but only when they are in an accident and the battery is physically damaged. They will eventually get away from the fire hazard as the technology changes IMO.

China loves our green insanity since we agree to not use a natural resource they don't have.
We're idiots. Took a long time to get us to Stupidville but we have arrived.

I travel quite a bit and I never see Tesla's/electric cars on the highway only around the big cities.

Didn’t say I liked it but a 3.5 sec 0-60 in an 8000# truck is definitely hauling
