I like the concept but a little to early for me, will be lots of bugs to eliminate. need better batteries an shorter charge times.
its coming like it or not!

Change for sure is on our door step and can only imagine in the next 10 years what us Ice Age guys will look like. Just look back at 2011 and ask yourself did you think a 700HP factory made within reasonable pricing would be available some 5 years later? So you really have to accept the ICE AGE is truly just what the name implies we are the Dinosaurs of the next decade. And not that I want it but the governing bodies of the world will make sure it comes to be. The amount of money being spent for the Charging Stations Infrastructure is massive being just Ford alone is adding like 64K fast charging stations and not even including the likes of VW who I believe wants like 100K charging stations. The manufactures are not going to invest in the said mentioned and R&D or their manufacturing to only sell a portion of their production vehicles as electric. Bye Bye Ice Age performance being sure the electric assist will be here for awhile but 10 years of knowledge and experience in todays world is like 25-30 years previously.

As much as the Government pushes green green green
I d like to know where all the tax money will come from when gas / oil sales plummet

The road that electric car drives on needs to be maintained

What I see is all your travelling will be monitored & billed back to you accordingly

Toll roads for all electric vehicles

Money will have to come from some place

Drive by the mile right around the corner which the greenies will love to deter people from driving which’s equates to less energy needed.

Already in place in parts of Europe & GB + extra fees/taxes if you drive in certain 'congested' areas that rise and fall based on time of day.
They will also implement higher tax rates for recharging during periods of high demand or when there are grid issues (shortages) like what we saw in CA last summer & TX this past winter.

If 0-60 was in the 3s they’d have my money already. Tesla puts performance first. That’s how you’re going to attract the rest of the market.

Mine for that coal fast and furious bitches, and get on building a lot more of them coal burning plants to produce the energy, then run a few million new miles of lines, no biggie. 😉

Don't fall for the PR. TAX will be TAX. nothing free here. When you plug the thing in it will cost you dearly! They are not going to give you nothing! Everybody acts like electricity is free. It's not. Look at what it cost for your house every month.

All this "change is coming" stuff cracks me up. I'm still driving a 20 year old 4Runner LOL. If you don't want an electric vehicle there will be plenty of options for the rest of our life times.

I noted in that other thread, the 4.4 while it is awesome for a truck is not enough to make me consider first adopter guinea pig status.

Gasoline Stations will not disappear anytime soon since the adding Charging Stations along side fueling Stations will be the new norm as time progresses. But the A hole Greenies will do everything they can to eliminate ICE production and distribution. Its already happening in Europe and even state side. But for sure ain’t going to be a major challenge to gas your vehicle anytime soon.

Will they also be adding Bed and Breakfasts along side the Charging Stations?

Rooms rented by the hour, and hookers available for your entertainment while you wait for it to charge.

You know, electric is starting to sound pretty good after all.

There you go...If they get the charging times to less than an hour, then we're all good.

An hour is fine actually...40 minutes Banging, 10 laying there till I can walk again, 10 to shower...
