Hybrid seems way more attainable.

Now this is something I could see myself owning. Has the engine and can run with that. Has some batteries and 87hp electric motors(2) that can do it or just provide assistance at cruising speeds . A battery that is charged with the braking forces. Why is there such a wild swing for the fences jump trying to shoot the gap into ALL electric, ALL the time? Especially when the charging is such an issue. And the battery tech for a large truck or SUV just isn't on the table and might not be for a while.

For now I'm pretty happy with the Cummins and the big block Chevy and their appetite for liquid fuels. And their ability to tow what I want, when I want for as long as I want.

About as much sense as someone with dementia in the White House who trades on the deaths of his own family members.

If they are exempt from insider trading, such as Congress, then yes..........

Aren't you free to buy whatever you want? I'm not buying an electric car.  When the Model T came out all the horse lovers said they wouldn't buy a Model T, looked what happened. :93: Without more Nukes electric cars are a pipedream. I think before its over(not in my lifetime though) hydrogen will power vehicles.

I think Cali is pushing ICEs out in a few more years so you will at some point be forced into electrical. But I agree hydrogen is the next viable vehicle power plant

gotta agree with Walrus

Nobody says you have to buy and electric car.  Makes sense for some, others not. 

I do like the idea of hybrid.

Took me a few trys.  I was trying to figure out if there was a bunch of illegal electricians, or what Immigration and Customs Enforcement had to do with electrical.

ICE. Internal Combustion Engine 

 Some of the other sites I frequent use this acronym. Sorry for the confusion

I think it was more due to this being the politics section, that that, was where my mind was.

Not for much longer, especially in California.
