I am impressed with the specs on this new Ram 1500 REV.

What they are not telling you is what the range is with a towing load.

Only guy I know who has tried towing with an EV said his battery dropped visibly as he went. Way less than 1/4 the range.

An EV commuter vehicle is reasonable.

Stopping once every hour or so for recharge on long trips sounds like torture, especially if one has to wait to get on the cord.

Conventional vehicles get 100% of range back in way less than 10 min refueling time.

While home recharge of a commuter car is convenient, it’s not so good for distance work.

Nothing about a truck with a 75-100 mile or less towing range impresses.. pissers

Cold temps and hills also drastically affect EV's.

A brother in law told me his Harley only had a 75-100 mile range. Here in West Texas that would make it useless. Was at a service station and a guy filling up his Harley was concerned about the distance to the next town.

How is the electricity generated for "fueling" an EV?

Oh yeah, it's typically coal or natural gas. Never mind.

What a SCAM we've been sold.

Saikat Chakrabarti, AOC's former chief of staff blunder out this truthful quote before departing his role.

“The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all. Do you guys think of it as a climate thing?Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”
