There are a lot of people in rural America with long distance, high towing capacity needs that won't be able to use EVs (or afford a new vehicle at all) for a long time.

The F-150 Lightning has a 300 mile EPA range, with a 1000 pound load. If that's not enough and stopping for a 15 minute charge every 290 miles is not an option, then you really need an ICE :)

  It doesn't work like that. 1000lbs is not a very large payload and you will not get 290 miles of range from 15 minutes at a quick charger. Even a Tesla supercharger (level 3) only gives you 170 miles~ after 30 minutes, and that's on a smaller vehicle with a smaller battery.

    Not yet, not now. CCS maxes out at 350kw. Add 2-4 of charge ports for larger vehicle and you get 350kwh in 15 minutes.
