Speaking of this, Ford has a extended range electric vehicle SuperDuty Truck under development. It has a coyote 5.0 liter v8 gas engine powering a huge generator, that powers the electric motors. Will be expensive at least as much maybe more than a Supeduty with the HO Diesel.LOL. Good luck
Pretty simple really. People do not want to be forced to change what they are accustomed to. It's not that EV car/trucks are terrible. People just can't comprehend how that isn't government control if they are completely trying to take away the gas option. It is a freedom thing IMOWhat is inferior about an electric car vs a dino juice car in those situations? Both are going to hate flooding. If the area doesn't have electricity, you aren't charging or pumping gas.
If you make the argument that you can have cans of gas sitting around, well fair enough. Probably a completely valid point if you are prepared.
Are EV's going to perform worse in flooding? I actually don't know the answer. I'd be interested in facts.
What I don't understand is all the negativity vs EV's.
Your odds of getting stranded in an EV in an emergency situation are much greater than with a gas powered vehicle. Just about every location has a gas station or somebody with a can of gas.What is inferior about an electric car vs a dino juice car in those situations? Both are going to hate flooding.

Oh I would take one. They look fun to drive and might make some sense in urban areas but the idea that they’re sparing us from climate change is ridiculous. The battery production alone causes horrible toxic pollution.I couod blow that argument into a million pieces...but instead imma just going to say if EV's work for you great. I've less than zero interest in them amd wouldn't take one for free if I had to actually drive the gawd damn thing.
Some threads remind me of my Nebraska background and not necessarily in a good way.
I have one and it's a blast. But I also have a diesel ride and two others that are not EVs.Oh I would take one.

Sorry youre wrong all the time and facts get in the way of your feelingsSome threads remind me of my Nebraska background and not necessarily in a good way.

He'd let you know but, ya know, hall monitors...I hope @TampaBaySkers is OK. I know he loves his EV.😒
Is he still in Shawshank fighting off the sisters? I tagged both you guys when I was in timeout last week trying to shorten my sentence.He'd let you know but, ya know, hall monitors...

JC like a gas car performs so much better in flooding.. So much idiocy in this thread.What is inferior about an electric car vs a dino juice car in those situations? Both are going to hate flooding. If the area doesn't have electricity, you aren't charging or pumping gas.

If we are really worried about electricity demand being a burden, then all crypto currencies should be shut down.Electric cars are basically a scam. With the amount of electricity demand already skyrocketing due to the enormous requirements of AI.. heck Microsoft is restarting up 3 mile island.. you can be sure that other tech firms will invest in nuclear power stations as well. The price of electricity could far surpass gasoline.. however a gasoline engine configured as a generator operating a peak efficiency 100% of the time to make electricity sounds like the best way to do the electric car.
Are you related to @scopeandtime?Have a bunch of Cleetus's in this thread which showcases the sheer brilliant stupidity of bum**** Nebraskans.

No es bueno!“If you own a hybrid or electric vehicle that has come into contact with saltwater due to recent flooding within the last 24 hours, it is crucial to relocate the vehicle from your garage without delay,” Palm Harbor’s Fire Rescue posted after the fires. “Saltwater exposure can trigger combustion in lithium-ion batteries. If possible, transfer your vehicle to higher ground.”
“Electric vehicles that have been submerged in water, especially salt water, have a higher potential to combust due to the battery short circuiting.”

Toyota is now going hydrogen fuel cell.. and hybrid is just an interim step that is popular today. (I hear many ppl are not happy with their hybrids either).Toyota hybrid is the way to go
