I'm still concerned about the range. Will it be able to tow 6500lb, 300 miles with the heater, OR AC running full on? Then be recharged and ready to go again in 15 minutes. That is what it will take to make it a viable option to a regular TV. IF it could do that. It would be a game changer
Not there yet. Not even close. Would need 300+ kWh battery and recharge time will be an hour minimum.
May never quite equal liquid fuel for what you want because you do not carry both sides of the chemistry with gas/diesel. To burn and pollute the air is still free. Your engine pulls in almost 15x the weight of air as compared to the fuel you burn.
I would suggest that an electric vehicle has a larger carbon footprint than a F150. however, That was not the question. I am more concerned about getting to where I want to go in a timely manner On this thread there has been talk of a so called 1/2 ton vehicle. I was wondering IF it would be practical to use for a tow vehicle. apparently not.
