My new EV requires pedaling.

 

A little more my style.

 

Are you up for a drag race?

When I went to a bike shop to get a helmet, an old guy (even compared to me) was picking up one very similar to that.

Looks off-road capable with those fat, knobby tires.
Or would that require a 3-wheel drive?

It rains a lot here and things get slick on the road from moss and slime. It also has the nice picnic basket up front.

I like the nice picnic basket up front and I own a small piece of a farm in Texas. I could use solar to keep it charged up for chores and for trips to the local fishing holes.

My neighbor has a quad, he purchased it here in Utah but I’m sure there are many others around. But, I found that he had the ability to transport things in a rear basket as well. Kool stuff.

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

“We took inspiration from the Model T – the universal car that changed the world,” said Doug Field, Ford chief EV, digital and design officer. “We assembled a really brilliant collection of minds across Ford and unleashed them to find new solutions to old problems. We applied first‑principles engineering, pushing to the limits of physics to make it fun to drive and compete on affordability. Our new zonal electric architecture unlocks capabilities the industry has never seen. This isn’t a stripped‑down, old‑school vehicle.”

Additional specifications for the midsize electric truck – including reveal date, starting price, EPA-estimated battery range, battery sizes and charge times – will be communicated later.

 

What's also interesting is that apparently they will be using a new assembly procedure, not the the standard single moving assembly line that Henry invented, to manufacture the new vehicles.

 

“We took inspiration from the Model T..."

By that he means Tesla

The Electric Pickup Truck Boom Turned Into a Big Bust
The companies behind “Ford Tough” and “Chevy: Like a Rock” that fended off decades of challenges from Toyota and Nissan misunderstood their customers’ needs.

Well, in contrast to all the negative EV posts on this thread (primarily from nsaspook who seems to delight in that), I'm going past a year now with my Ioniq 5 and am quite happy with it.
No problems, and the smooth, quiet, instant power makes it more fun to drive than any other car I've had (including a Pontiac GTO and a 240Z), and by charging at home, it's cheaper to run than one on gasoline.
Won't go back to one with an infernal combustion engine unless I have to.

 

I would probably be fine with an EV for 90% of my miles. But what do you do for the occasional trip of >800 miles? I’d have to rent an ICE. That’s not a terrible solution but that added cost has to be factored in.

 

I'm positive on Ev's as a choice, not a pie in the sky mandate. Freedom of choice is working. Let the market decide.
