The guy at my work with one says it definitely eats his battery life. Though he lives about 30 minutes from my work, he’s saving about 600 a month in fuel (he had an F150 before this). And he has solar panels on his house that also charge his truck with leftover power that he sells back to the power company. He said he’ll break even on the truck in 3-4 years based on fuel savings alone then from there he’s in the green. He doesn’t tow much, just two jet skis. IDK how the battery will be in 3-4 years though. ---

I’m surprised his solar panels can charge the truck. 30 min, that’s only about 50 miles round trip I’m guessing? That is only about $230-250 a month in fuel for that commute at 18mpg. In winter he is using about $12 in electric daily… 50-80kwh for the same round trip. Summer should be about $8 daily in power. Not really that much better then a gas rig TBH unless you’re truly getting free power ---

Probably. Also stupidly expensive. That’s my biggest gripe with all these electric cars, they are almost impossibly priced for the average person. Even an entry level EV is unrealistic. Part of me thinks that this is intentional, hindering the ability of Americans to travel independently, but another part of me thinks it’s just because the technology is unsustainable and not a true replacement for ICE. ---

these arent bad.
