I plan on buying one when they come out with a midsized truck. Low maintenance and the vehicle will last a long time. Better to charge it at home and not have to worry about going to the gas station where everyone takes the gas during a shortage. By the way how was that new electric F-150?
According to which car you buy. The higher the pricetag, the more miles you can drive, or better and bigger battery storage. There's a 21 Nissan that has 226 mpc. My 2006 Civic gets 297 miles per a full 11 gallon tank.
The big issue at this point in time is ONLY where will you charge the car? There aren't many public car chargers except at Whole Foods, as far as I know. If you're visiting a friend who doesn't have a car charge at their house, how will you recharge your car. There just isn't much access.
For now, only hybrid vehicles are simple to own/use. In five years, I'm guessing the environment will be completely different: It will probably be equally easy to have an electric car as a gas vehicle. And there will likely be incentives to turn in your gas baby.
Oh, the comment about stopping to get gas. Yes, but you stop, get gas in 10 minutes and you go again. If you stop to charge, you have to charge for several hours. They will ALSO have to create fast charging vehicles too. Those don't exist yet either.
@EnglishEuropean Honey, by the time you're 65, if you can't come up with a few good points, it's time to order your coffin and check yourself out! Ha ha!!!
I have a hybrid and the gas mileage alone is worth it. I fill up about once a month if that and thing is quick and agile. $30,000 price tag 0%apr on the loan…come on just perfect
@captain_voidwalker Once these things get popular there will be discarded batteries all over the place unless the government buys them back from people.

Hell No! Can you imagine how many times you'd have to stop to get more electricity? What a screwed up idea.
You have to stop to get petrol.
How many miles can you drive the electric car when fully charged? And how many miles for a car fueled by gasoline?

@Screenwriter That's a good point.

Nah, the grid will collapse at the present rate
Best advice buy uranium because the nuclear family might be dead but nuclear power is the future
of course I would love to have one
It really was a nice looking truck. Maybe not for a work truck but it is nice.
yeah I know, I like these cars, they're fun, and I guess men like them, they look masculine
Nah... An all electric Ford F150 isn't the worst idea in the world, but I would rather have biodiesel than electric.
Maybe, so far there is no way to charge it where i live

Nope. Look up how much the batteries on electric cars cost. And a good battery lasts what 5 years tops before it can't hold a charge anymore.
Yes, that is a concern. I don't know if they can be recycled so that people get money back from old batteries
They can't
@captain_voidwalker Once these things get popular there will be discarded batteries all over the place unless the government buys them back from people.
Not with the power outrage I experience often. Need to invest in solar power which won't be cheap to install.
The problem with solar is that it does not work at night.
Exactly.
I still haven't even figured out how to set the valve lash on those 'legtradigical motors yet
I drive an electric car now. I love it! It's quick off the line and just zippy.
No. I thought about getting one several years ago, but I chose not to because I heard that the batteries are really expensive to replace.
Not really because there’s no electric charging stations where I live.
my garage would have to become the gas station
Y’all need to get off your fat arses and walk for once in your miserable lives
Can't wait for nationwide rolling blackouts and a few wars to acquire all the minerals needed for the batteries!
I Love the idea of electric car But only if it is true Co2 minus... other wise what the point. Co2 the thing to look at.
@exitseven That's retarded. Have you ever thought about charging the fucker? Enjoy your oversized golf cart, us Men will be driving diesel.
Not really, if I'm honest. I've seen an argument that the batteries are bad for the environment but I don't know how true that is.
Nah. I'd go for hydrogen power when the time comes. It's far closer to normal petrol than electric power.
Simples...
No. I hate electric cars. Feels like crap driving it.
which one have you driven?
Telsa and mini. They suck.
The engine doesn't feel right like a car with gas.
wow, I heard the Tesla was good.
