Would be great if it applied to me. It doesn't that's my point.
I have to drive long distances, and often have to tow 8000lbs for 250 miles, which no electric truck can currently do on one charge. And with a 35 foot trailer behind me, I'm not fitting in any charge station anyways lol. Not with current layouts.
Then factor in the fact that most people are priced out of owning homes due to capitalism. Which forces you to slow and expensive chargers in the public.
It's the future for sure. It's just not ready for the reality of 30-50% of Americans.
It's literally cheaper for me and far more effective to use E85 fuel at $3 a gallon than to get an electric truck.
But I long for the day that changes.
