    Do I need it ... No, but I want it. Rivian Truck

    This is all costs considered – cost of insurance, costs of repairs, initial price of car, etc. Not just the cost of charging. Just by coincidence, Hertz is selling off their EV’s and buying gas powered cars to replace them – that should tell you something. Rental giant Hertz dumps EVs...

    Driving an EV pickup

    Well, here is another horror story……and it’s an EV, and a pickup, and it ‘supposed to tow. Even Elon Musk admits he dug his own grave creating this thing that a 3 year old must have designed...

    Driving an EV pickup

    Solid-state batteries are the next big thing for EV’s – they’re “predicting” 500,000 mile life and 600 mile range. They are also at least 10 years away before they are ready for the average car.

    Driving an EV pickup

    Tesla’s are also a nightmare to have collision repair done - wait time and cost. Insurance premiums are much more expensive when compared to the average car.
