At our coop C store there us always line ups.the attendants put through the vehicles in minutes..
So how many chargers would be required to do the same?

Plug in every night in your garage. Coops will be dead. 120v is wired into most office space parking lots already 100 amps of service needed for 2 vehicles in the typical garage. Most residential services won't handle the load. Will take alot of copper.

Ads show big cables..not 110 dinky cords.
Vehicles need to charge as they drive..no need to plug in then.

Haha they already have that technology, its called hybrid and 10 yrs after its development still has virtually no market penetration.

Ford cancelled their fusion hybred.
So guess this will be another dumb idea if consumers don't fall for it.

As a business decision, buying that truck would rank in the top 5 for stupid.

The ideal 3/4 ton truck for rural customers would be aluminum body, tilt hood, choice of aluminum flat bed or regular box, options radio and air conditioning only, keeping electronics to the bare minimum, rear airbags with electric clutch on compressor with front and rear factory air couplers , cummins engine or if electric powered have the option of installing a Webasto heater with 20 gallon tank for winter survival and 22.5 tires.

I know it would be expensive but you would only go through 2 or 3 in your farming career and that's probably why they don't manufacture them.

I think that's the only way that electric vehicles are going to be able to penetrate into cold northern climates.

Electric heat is an energy hog.

A small tank of diesel, even 5 gallons, would go a long ways for supplemental heat. If you had a coolant system like a proheat, you could even wrap the batteries to keep them warm.

Or spend $70k less for the vehicle and efficiently burn a stable, storable liquid.

0-60 in 2.9 seconds thats supercar stats. Also individual wheel motors would make for the most capable 4wd possible. 500 mile range in day would take care of 99% of my driving needs. Say you stop for lunch and plug into a super charger for an hour. Might take it to 800 mile range which would get me to Pocatello. Lets say its half that when -30+ still pretty respectable.

The vibrationless, quiet, yet high performance experience of electric might change a few opinions. Especially when your gasser is eating it's dust.

Who else here has made the switch to virtually all cordless power tools? My half inch cordless impact has the same or better specs that the best air impact. Haven't used an air impact in so long.

Have to admit the performance numbers are impressive. Electric motors are almost 100% torque immediately.
