- This is my Ranger. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Porsche took their Taycan from NYC to LA, 2,834.5-mile journey, and only added 2 hours and 30 minutes to overall trip due to charging needs.the powerboost....i would be happy to give up 600 pounds of cargo capacity and 2k of the 12 plus k towing capacity for 100 miles electric range....
and that is coming.
the super duty systems will be interesting.
and using the bronco and expedition hybrids boondocking will be awesome....the power these have for overlanding and expedition rigs is just awesome.
long range hybrids are where its at....for the next 20 years.
i have no use for all electric if i were to only own one vehicle. thats retarded. i want options......in a traffic jam in a blizzard.....i want options...trying to escape a storm....i want options......out in the wild....i really want options.
the all electric for commuting....no problem. most of us have more then one vehicle. and an all electric for the chores is perfect.
so yes....electric vehicles of all types are going to rocket in production the next 5 years compared to 10 years ago. its only been 12 years with the teslas...
and these machines ford and gm are putting out are crazy......that hummer is out of control beast from hell.
if i could afford one i would buy it.
for a round towner. gonna be a minute before they are worth wandering the country like i do with one...
Porsche just proved that stopping to charge an electric car won't kill the great American road trip
Porsche sent one of its electric Taycan sedans the 2,800 miles from Los Angeles to New York and spent less than 2.5 hours at charging stations.

The Blizzard/stuck on highway in snowstorm story was fake. Car and Driver did similar test and kept cabin at 65 degrees for 45 hours.
How Long Can an EV Keep the Cabin Warm When It's Cold Out? We Found Out
Our Tesla Model 3 can keep its interior at 65 degrees for almost two days max, losing an average of 2.2 percent of its charge per hour, which is barely less than a gas-powered car.
