Breitbart here presents a report on Youtubers who compared an electric Ford F-150 pickup and a gasoline engine GMC Denali Ultimate Edition to see how far each could tow a trailer.
The results of the electric Ford pickup remind me of the promises made by the COVID vaccine manufacturers: wildly exaggerated and probably more harmful than beneficial. As the video shows: you’d have to be a moron to buy either knowing what we know today.
At the start of the trip, Ford’s onboard computer calculated the vehicle would be able to travel 160 miles (257 km) before needing to be recharged. The reality: only 85 miles, and that under ideal highway conditions! Imagine hilly country, in the wintertime. What a joke.
In summary, by the time you’d reach your destination (if ever), your vacation would be long over. Gasoline, and especially diesel, leave electric vehicles in the dust.
Communism, COVID vaccines and long-haul e-vehicles: all deliver just the opposite of what their makers promised.
i found it rather amusing that the ford designers, knowing that frequent stops to recharge would be needed, created a mini pick-nick table center console.
It’s not just range. I want to see battery integrity information in very hot climates on asphalt roads and parking lots. We also have the ensuing chaos of all brands forced to develop EVs at the same time by EPA dictate which means 10x more mistakes, recalls, fires, and “fix-it-later Tony” efforts….with high voltage and very expensive power plants parts and service. Consumers are last in the priority list for safety and expenses with govt. driving the train wreck again.
I feel sorry for the poor bastards in the DOD forced to use electric vehicles on operations (except for maybe the electric motorcycles).
I would think that owners of all electric cars or trucks would be best to rent a gas powered car or truck with which to take a vacation.
EVs were very helpful in our transition from external combustion to internal combustion engines that took place 120 years ago, they are an important historical note nothing more. Mrs Benz had an electric car, that’s why Mr Benz invented the modern automobile.
