I didn't know you could order a reg. 'base' truck as what we use to call them. Never did understand why they quit making just reg. ol trucks for people like me to work out of without all the caddilac crap on them and sell them for half what they sell the tricked out road riding junk for.

As for the topic, the ONLY reason your communist party is pushing/shoving this crap is because China makes all the battery's for them! They can pollute till their hearts content making this junk while we restrict all of our company's to the point they go out of business with climate change crap as the vehicle to do it.

As for running out of oil, just the balken find alone has enough to supply the country for 200 years! But run back to the 70s and claim we have to do something as we have used up all the oil on the planet. Was global cooling back then instead of global warming. I imagine that's what it will be again if we have a few cold winters. ANYTHING works to gain CONTROL which is all any of this is about.

Electric cars will never be a viable source for transportation to any great extent. It's not going to be the way except for a very small niche like city dwellers. If people were serious about getting away from oil, the way to go would be hydrogen. Now that is an inexhaustible resource that can replace gas a probably even diesel. It could also be done in relatively short order. However, like most things, the powers that be do not want real solutions.
