    My personal opinion is that a full electric vehicle is too soon for our US infrastructure. Some days for work I am on the road 100+ miles and some days 5 miles and idle time with the AC blasting. If I need to refuel it takes me less than 10 minutes with an ICE.
    I would consider a hybrid and think that is our next best step, but these lithium batteries are rare earth metals and there are only a few mines in the world with lithium. If we could get the sodium batteries (or something that is not rare) to the level of lithium batteries it would make the batteries much cheaper.

      Actually no it wasn't because it's hodge podged not built from new for specific electric function so it's expensive that's why they loose 100k on each one.

    • @Jon-dr4fb

      The frame is stronger that a standard because of the support structure of the battery pack itself.

    Hey Scotty has anyone given you any information on the amount that their electric bill has gone up after having an EV ? I bet they haven't mentioned that cause the amount of the electric bill increase exceeds the cost of running a comparable gas powered vehicle. If you have any info can you mention it sometime?

    To each his own; buy what you like because it's your money. But if I am buying a truck, I'm buying a truck. Not grandma's caddy with a bed. I don't like creature comforts on my truck, it just takes way the enjoyment of driving a pickup. And I wan't my truck to be the best at what it was designed for. No focus on seats that are like hospital beds. Just my opinion
