Why waste time sitting around waiting for a charge when you could be back on the road? Again, you aren't fooling anyone but yourself. Feigning ignorance isn't the win you think it is.

More accurately he pretends not to get it and pretends people that do long drives more than once a year don't exist and wishes to virtue signal.

You are really playing fast and loose with the facts here to try and deny reality. I fully understand that people often charge only up to 80% for battery longevity and my point remains the same. This means they are stopping more often. The fact is you are forced to spend more time sitting around waiting for your vehicle to be fueled up than you will with gas. You can massage the numbers and pretend people like to hang out at charge stations to feel better about it but you are only fooling yourself.

Interesting that looks like it will be a winner. Better than the Powerboost or Lightning.

If you are going with a hybrid does the F-150 Powerboost not check off enough boxes? How much towing and what kind of speeds and acceleration does the ram get in EV mode?

Yup that thing would get tariffed to a $30K+ car and wouldn't make sense to the consumer.

There are plenty of companies losing money and struggling on the transition to EVs. Pretty much any auto manufacturer not named Tesla.

Ummm there is no difference in meaning between saying "planning their next vehicle to be an IC" and "likely to switch back" it's the same thing. If you are likely to switch back then you at least have a tentative plan for your next vehicle to be an IC. The real reason they won't run out of customers is government mandates.

That also speaks to vehicles being built better and lasting longer. My previous vehicle lasted 18 years without any major work being needed.

What's not to get? You add a huge amount of time to your trip by having sit around a charger every few hundred miles meanwhile you can refuel and continue on your way in 10 minutes with gas. Then there is the availability of chargers. The charging station network can get the job done but one has to be careful to plan it out properly for some long rural stretches. The same can be true with finding gas out in the middle nowhere but not quite as bad.

Given the amount of time you have spend there for a charge people will likely will continue to plan out their stops. I think the gas station business is going to morph in a charging station with amenities for all the bored people business so it will be about planning what you want to do while it charges and how safe is that area.

Governments are passing laws to force new car buyers into EVs in the 2030s hopefully competition from Ford and others can help keep prices down.

You missed a few zeros on that number bud. You think the US is going to nuke the southern border or are they going to blanket all of Mexico?

Name some specific nation states and how nuking would be the solution to their conflict. Not every country has nukes.

"safe enough" would be better than lying that it is "safe". God forbid an extra word be used though. We can't have silly things like informed consent to worry about right?
