I'm sure plenty of people think an electric F-150 is heresy. I went through the McDonald's drive thru the other day and the teenage boy running the window complemented my F-150 and said "At least it's not one of those bad electric ones". I then told him mine was a hybrid and that it was faster than the Raptor. That shocked him. Not sure I changed his mind about electric cars in our quick conversation but maybe little by little minds will change.

Humbug Scoolbus posted:Is it wrong that I want to get an El Camino and drop one of the new electric crate engines into it? That's the long term plan for mine. Basically as soon as the transmission will need a rebuild is when I'll bite the bullet and do it. What I haven't been able to figure out is if the fuel tank location will be adequate for a battery pack or if I'll have to get more inventive. 100 miles of charge would be enough for me.

After doing some more research, I will agree that EVs cause less net pollution than ICE vehicles. However, initial cost of the vehicle, the limited range, long charging times, and lack of dedicated infrastructure mean that I won't be buying one in the near future.

However, initial cost of the vehicle, the limited range, long charging times, and lack of dedicated infrastructure mean that I won't be buying one in the near future. I think one would serve 99.9% of my needs (other than not being able to charge at my rental home). But, one thing I've been curious about and didn't look into, does the battery capacity drop over time like it does in, say, every phone and laptop I've ever owned? I'd hate to buy one that meets my needs +10% and then the capacity drops to the point where I can't take it to visit my folks. I also assume that one gets less range in the cold during winter?

Actually I'm a huge EV proponent, diesel is just what is more thermodynamically efficient overall right now as a ICE powertrain  All fossil fuels need to go away at the end of the day.

As an ancillary bump, VTG introduces a small squirt of nitrous oxide at the right time to get the Turbonetics twins spooled up quicker. The unorthodox '09 breaks out an attention-getting 1,730 horsepower at 7,350 rpm.
