It seems as though many people that read this forum think that EV's are not here to stay. They are - they are everywhere already. There are large vehicles that are electric, like buses. They are on the street now. They are more economical than ICE Vehicles, require less maintenance, need to be taken off route less for fuel, and can run longer routes. Look at Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc, they are all on the EV bandwagon. They run their vehicles into the ground with tons of maintenance, the EV promises less maintenance and better performance. This past week at CES in Vegas, John Deere and other heavy machinery companies introduced both EV and Autonomous vehicles. Yes, they are coming and will be here very soon - if not already. The issue with EV's is that the technology was introduced before the infrastructure was put into place. But, that is changing fast. Charging stations and infrastructure is being installed at a very fast rate everywhere, both the government and private companies are installing these now. Many gas stations will add EV charging stations over the next couple years. So, there will be places to drive through with a trailer. The cool thing about EV's is they can be retrofitted with a wireless charging pad, so the vehicle just stops on top of the charging station and the vehicle charges in place. That is how buses are doing it, delivery vehicles will use this method and before long so will every EV. In Sweden they already have an electric highway that can charge as you drive. In addition, companies are planning ways to buy your extra battery to power businesses. You charge at home but don't need all your battery, sell it back to the business while you are parked, and charge again at home. An EV owner can make money because in some areas electricity is cheaper at night vs during the day. These are not pipe dreams, they are here now and being expanded daily. That F150 or Silverado can not only take you somewhere enjoyable on the weekend but it can take you to work and back during the week. So, if your 60 or under, you will be driving a EV before your driving days are up. Might even be letting the EV drive for you. That EV can detect trailer sway faster than you can. It's being tested now, or has been for a few years.

YEP !!!I agree 100% this is not a flash in the pan this is tomorrow !!!
