Biden test-drives an electric Ford pickup truck

[Flash]

Battery cars are a dumb idea. Something only stupid Libtards would come up with.

GM is going 100 percent electric by 2030


They don’t think it is dumb

No they won't.

They say they will but they won't

Why would they give up on 97.8% of the global market ?

They see the future of their industry
You don‘t

No, they see more and more government control. That's what fascism is. They, like their German for runners think they can buy the beast off.

Didn't work for the German corporations, and it won't work for GM.

If that were the case, they would lobby to stop it and not do it until it is mandated

It already has been mandated, or didn't you get the memo?

What's truly funny is if you want to have a vehicle to drive you better start building nuclear power plants at the rate of one a month to handle the load if all of those EV'S ever come to pass.

The power grid in this country is just barely able to handle the power consumption for the homes, businesses and factories we have now. We saw what happen in Texas during the cold spell when electric heat put a strain on the grid.

Just think that everybody that has one of the faggotmobiles will need an additional 7KW to charge the damn things. Just think that if millions of people need that power because they were stupid enough to buy a faggotmobile.

We are talking a tremendous strain on the electric grid that is not here now.

In physics their ain't no such thing as a free lunch. They are transfering the energy they buy at the gas pump to needing that energy at the power generation station, plus the generation and distribution inefficiencies.

You may be giving these Moon Bats too much credit.

They are hell bent on turning this country into a Socialist shithole and as we know they will lie, cheat and steal to do it.

However, I doubt they are smart enough to understand how fucked up this country will be if they screw around with the energy supply. Probably in their minds we can have an economy strong enough to pay their welfare bills by only using solar and wind energy and driving around in these faggot electric cars. Yea, they are that stupid.

Are you in denial that Joe Dufus is a lying piece of shit and that it is quite possible he was pulling one of his well known little scams?

Once again a republican theory of fraud, but they don't know how it was done, who did it, or despite needing a huge group of people to carry out that conspiracy, not having a single witness to it.

I thin k EVs have a place.

For a lot of people the daily drive to work is less than 40 miles and an EV works really well for that and for driving around doing errands etc.

I don't know how much you can haul with an electric truck but I would think the range would be greatly reduced and the recharge time doesn't make it practical if you want to cover any longer distance.

 

[meaner gene]

When you can go from empty to full charge in about the same amount of time it takes to fill a gas tank today, EV's will have completely arrived. Until then, these will be a novelty and won't replace gas engines.

That is like saying that until a restaurant can deliver a meal as fast as McDonalds, they will be a novelty.

Not everybody needs to be able to refuel quickly, in fact most drivers refuel their cars once a week. Which would be easily replaced by recharging their car every night.

Just think about the way you use and refill your cellphone.

thats funny,, cause its dems that are attacking people for having a different opinion on things,,

It's funny, it's republicans that are attacking people for having a different set of "alternative facts" on things.

I just see them giving a different opinion,, its dems that are attacking for that opinion,,

First, Ford demonstrated their F-150 lightning, was capable of towing 1,000,000 pounds.
And electric vehicles are meant to replace most of the market, not all of it.

That is why the electric F-150 is a game changer
Once the most popular vehicle in the US goes electric, the charging stations will come.
Can no longer claim there isn’t a market

They have been saying that for years. So far the infrastructure is not adequate. I heard the price of that truck is a little less than the Tesla which is 75K or more. The kind of folks that drive f-150s won't have the bucks especially if Biden and the Democrats continue to ruin Trump's great pre-fake pandemic economy.

Chicken and the egg
The F-150 is a game changer.

The infrastructure will come. Biden is already funding it in his infrastructure bill

When you can go from empty to full charge in about the same amount of time it takes to fill a gas tank today, EV's will have completely arrived. Until then, these will be a novelty and won't replace gas engines. Seriously, who is going to invest in a work truck that takes hours to recharge when it's needed instead of a few minutes to put some gas in a tank? Now, if there's a way you could quickly and easily swap out battery packs at a filling station, that could do it, but these things are large, heavy and very expensive.

The Blue Bird electric school bus gets a full charge in 6-8 hours of charging time.......between the morning run taking kids to school, to the afternoon route, is about 5 hours......

If you drive 50 miles for each part of the route, you are talking not having enough charge to drive kids....and that is if you don't forget to plug it in....

Everybody can have a different opinion. Republicans are the one attacking people based on "alternative facts".

As I said, people can disagree on whether it's "hot" or "cold.

But when a democrat says it's 90 degrees out, republicans would claim it's only 80 degrees out.

thanks for proving my point,,,

A million lbs?

I highly doubt that.

The truck comes with 2 options one with a tow rating for 7700 lbs and one for 10000 lbs and each has a 1 ton bed weight capacity

BUT Ford does not say what range a truck with a ton in the bed and pulling a 10000 lb trailer will have.

Similarly to route duration, ..., it is found that on average school buses travel 73.46 miles,

thanks for proving my point,,,

And thanks for proving mine.
I agree that democrats suffer from differences of opinion.
But republicans jump the shark by believing different "alternative" facts.

Video Shows Electric Ford F-150 Prototype Towing a Million ...

Ford conducted a demonstration in which an all-electric Ford F-150 prototype towed 1 million pounds of rail cars for 1,000 feet. Ford then loaded 42 F-150s into the rail cars and the prototype pickup towed a total of 1.25 million pounds. That's 625 tons.

 

[meaner gene]

WOW, now you have Biden driving a LEXUS.

That's why the steering wheel has an "L" on it.

If you live in a big city and only needed a vehicle every once in awhile to get from one part of the city to another then they may be something to consider. However, don't expect to drive it 800 miles to grandmother's house for Thanksgiving.

I sure wouldn't buy one here in Florida.

maybe its you that has alternative facts??

how about you let them have their opinion and you have yours since it cant be proven whos are the alternative facts,,

Pulling rail road cars on tracks is not the same as pulling the same weight on a road. That was a meaningless stunt with no real correlation to real world use.

And like I said Ford has not said what the range of a fully loaded 1 ton electric truck towing a 10000 lb trailer will be.

It's all well and good that a truck can tow 5 tons but if the range of the EV is significantly reduced then all that pick up truck is is just another daily driver.

Exactly my point.

They have a place and I think for a lot , even most people, an EV would work quite well for daily driving but not for long trips

and you have the nerve to accuse others of alternative facts,,

the picture is to show how some test vehicles can have two steering wheels,,
