And the ability to keep the truck at 80 mph without ever worrying about range. Which is why a pure EV truck designed for actual hauling will never work.
- 1970-01-01 10mo ago>Which is why a pure EV truck designed for actual hauling will never work. So there are 5 other "pure" EVs with class IV or V hauling capability for sale, and many SUVs. What does "actual hauling" mean?
- ActorNightly 10mo agoHauling capability is being able to tow safely. Thats the bare minimum. The other big thing is how often do you have to stop for gas. If you are towing a car trailer for example, you have quite a bit of drag. No matter what the power train is, your mileage goes down. Then you introduce things like mountain passes into the mix, and your mileage goes down. With EV you have to stop and wait to recharge, and at the mercy of the chargers being available. If battery cells and interfaces were standardized every single gas station had ability to swap cells, then it would work. But we are far, far away from that.

- ActorNightly 10mo agoIm saying it will never work in the sense of it will never beat out gas/diesel/hybrid options.
