I’ve had a Ford F-150 Lightning for about 6 months and ICE vehicles viscerally feel poisonous and clunky. The responsiveness, torque, quiet, low cost of use, low maintenance and just how clean they are (no poisons spewed) is just something I can’t give up anymore. There are still problems with range and charge times specifically for a truck but we are very close. A doubling of the standard range and a halving of the charge time would make ICE irrelevant in the truck space outside of very long distance towing.

I'm looking forward to the new Ramcharger (new plug-in hybrid truck, not the old SUV). Hopefully Stellantis gets its act together.

They're actually working on using the ramcharger powertrain in a new wagoneer. I'm so excited for that.

The new Chevy Silverado EV has a massive 200kwh battery and 275kw charging. That’s going to be an absolute minimum of 300 miles of range and more realistically 400-500 miles per charge.
