I’ll buy an EV when a truck has the looks and performance I want, with a 500 mile range, and is reasonably priced (50k).

Then you might want to look at the new Hummer. The range is not 500 miles but not bad. As for looks and (whoa) sheer performance, it delivers.I’ll buy an EV when a truck has the looks and performance I want, with a 500 mile range, and is reasonably priced (50k).
If you're buying a new Bronco now, that truck should be available before the Bronco reaches the end of its service life.I’ll buy an EV when a truck has the looks and performance I want, with a 500 mile range, and is reasonably priced (50k).

I need it available before *I* reach the end of my own service life.If you're buying a new Bronco now, that truck should be available before the Bronco reaches the end of its service life.
A) let's not make it political, thats just gonna get the thread shut down.They’ve squashed repeated attempts to bring more natural gas to the east coast.
the Hummer is ugly and nowhere near 50k.Then you might want to look at the new Hummer. The range is not 500 miles but not bad. As for looks and (whoa) sheer performance, it delivers.
We will see how the 2022 (expensive) electric F-150 performs, and if it’s reliable.If you're buying a new Bronco now, that truck should be available before the Bronco reaches the end of its service life.
Exactly, no rush for EV, but i’m not anti EV.Full Electric vehicles are a lux item and will be for a long time. When technology allows for cheaper and more efficient batteries and lighter then it will be under 50K. I say in another 20-30 years and maybe we will see affordable electric vehicles for the masses.

B) what about what @wjfawb0 said has anything to do with LIMITING natural gas? From what i read its that Natural Gas is cleaner than coal.
Environmental activists have tooth and nail fought efforts to bring more natural gas to NYC.A) let's not make it political, thats just gonna get the thread shut down.

1000% of Everything associated with renewable energy is financially out of reach - UNLESS SUBSIDIZED BY FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS (which are borrowed from China). In fact, unless someone finds a stash of dilithium crystals, renewable energy might not EVER become mainstream.Full Electric vehicles are a lux item and will be for a long time.

I agree, but hefty resources have been leveraged at this for decades...'energy storage' is the Holy Grail of our times.It will take a leap as it always does.
Where does electricity come from? Answer that and I agree with you, electric cars are not any better for the planet. An electric Bronco sounds like an oxymoron to me.Calling an electric vehicle "Zero Emissions" is an outright lie and people are gobbling it up whole.
I have nothing against electric vehicles, ran RC cars much of my life. They have some really cool technology and are probably great commuters, just quit spreading the lie.
**Not directed at the OP. Just my pressure relief valve going off.
I didn't make any comments about whether or not people were fighting against natural gasEnvironmental activists have tooth and nail fought efforts to bring more natural gas to NYC.

This same blocking is happening all over the east coast. There was another group suing to block a new pipeline from crossing underneath the Appalachian Trail hiking path anywhere from Georgia on up to Maine.
I’m not making this up. It is IMPOSSIBLE to move to an all-electric automobile environment without a huge increase in the available electricity. It’s the end of the discussion.
people block all attempts at offshore wind, natural gas pipes, new nuclear technology, windmills on top of windy hilltops - ANYTHING.
what shall we do? Revert to walking across the country? Canoes and footpaths along the Columbia river? Horses and buggies?
If we’re ever to make the change then the people who claim to want the change have to stop preventing the infrastructure necessary to change in the first place.
You can't even get 500 miles per tank on an ICE powered truck. Most vehicles go about 300-350 between each refill. That is a bit more practical and you can recharge it every night at your house.I’ll buy an EV when a truck has the looks and performance I want, with a 500 mile range, and is reasonably priced (50k).
My f-150 3.5 ecoboost with 36 gal tank ALWAYS gets 500 miles per tank, usually over 600.You can't even get 500 miles per tank on an ICE powered truck. Most vehicles go about 300-350 between each refill. That is a bit more practical and you can recharge it every night at your house.
