    Is that the state where some of the Sheep herders got arrested for bigamy..or was that Montana maybe? Those states are close together on the map. Thanks.

    As all Earth Worshiping Hippies from Sunny CA know..electric vehicles only moves the smoke stack from the small amount of pollution put out by modern cars to the giant coal fired and nuclear electric power generation stations. Forget hydro electric since CA is using up all the water to grow almonds. Who knows it takes a gallon of water to make one almond? Think how much water is in a gallon of almond milk? Hydrogen fuel cells are the only thing that can turn mother earth into a man made Utopia similar to the Garden of Eden but leaving God out of the loop.

    Electric vehicles sound really great... if you live in suburbia AND you happen to have free or really cheap electricity. Raising unicorns for profit sounds really great too, if they really poop ice cream.

    Nope!

    I don't like most cars/trucks made after ~1990. Most newer stuff is a cluster**** to work on, I don't want it.

    Electric? ROFL!!! Where you going to plugin? Is triple AAA going to rescue you when you're SOL and stranded? What happens if there is a blackout or the grid goes down.

    I guess with the new F150 you could put a genny and charging system in the bed along with a big ass fuel tank......

    Some of you naysayers are missing the big picture on Electric Vehicles and by that I mean...GOVERNMENT TAX CREDIT INCENTIVES!

    A of now, potential tax credits for EV are at $7500 and proposed legislation of $12,500 tax credit per EV! Of course there are some hoops to jump thru to get the max but it can be done if you are creative.

    AND, if you are a small business owner, the current IRS Section 179 Equipment Purchase Tax Deduction PLUS the EV Tax Credit could make the Ford F150 Lightning one of the best returns on investment that you can make.

    For example, I ran the numbers on the the Section 179 Tax Deduction PLUS the EV Credit and the Ford F150 EV Lightning (List price $40k) and it would end up costing me only $16,000 after taxes!

    Considering the used car market is hot as hell, I could then flip the vehicle in a year for $30-35k and pocket a nice profit!

    More things to consider...
