I still cant see the EV taking over, folks who want to tow a trailer up to Canada or the Yukon will be shut off by the fuel requirement.
High up front cost, for a vehicle which inherently limits the ways it can be used.
Someday maybe, but a Mr Fusion from Back to the future is still the best choice for a clean running vehicle. Maybe in another 50 years.
Agreed. Short term I think you are bang on. A decade out though I doubt it. Cost parity for passenger cars will be by 2023. Cost parity for premium high performance sports sedans is already now. But a truck is anybodies guess. I think we’ll know more in a few years. Battery tech is changing so fast. Charging infrastructure too. My guess is there will be a DCFC route to Alaska and the Yukon within three to 4 years. Probably both Petrocan and Tesla. There are already 3 Chademo/CCS stations in the Yukon. Now they just have to close the gap.
Thanks @Residender!
Best news so far. I was about to write off the Alaska National Park leg of my trailer camping bucket list. Now I may just have to wait a little bit.
Although I also anticipate that buyers of Tesla semis will start demanding charging stations for their trucks to reach the northern most end of the Alaskan highway, lol.
