The original towing video: Towing with my Ford Lightning EV Pickup was a TOTAL DISASTER!

EVs suck. They're too complicated, too expensive, too hard to keep running, battery tech isn't there, limited range, etc...
There is not one EV charging station in my town, nor in my whole county, I think.
I don't know of any in FW, but apparently you can charge it at home in only 15 hours through a 50A dryer plug. It looks like the cord is $700.
It looks like a 440V quick charger will run about $5,000 + install. It looks like a 200A main electrical service is the minimum required. You will probably get an 80% charge in about two hours.
The automakers have lost their minds. What a clusterfuck.
So, somebody will be paying ~$70,000 for a truck that's only good for being used as a light-duty second vehicle, with a gasoline/diesel truck STILL needed for WORK. Mfgs have lost their minds....

Yeah, pretty much accurate on all points.
I wonder if the home chargers will come with a separate "smart" electric meter on them so the EV knuckleheads can pay their [electric] motor fuel taxes?
I sure never thought this is how the country was going to go down. They waited long enough to make sure all the real men were too old to do anything about it and the youngsters were too feminized to be effective.
I can't imagine many of the Vietnam through Gulf War vets that I know/knew putting up with this shit. The few remaining are too old/crippled up to do much, as am I.
