[MR DERBY CITY]

Personally, I will be so DISAPPOINTED if all the TARDLINGS on this forum don’t have Electric tow vehicles by 2025 .......I mean if you TALK the talk, you should WALK the walk .....

My disability scooter is electric.. Does that ease the disappointment?

I can't wait to see/hear all of the excuses for lithium toxicity. It is going to make the internal-combustion engine look really clean.

GM announced yesterday, they will be all electric by 2035.

Electric vehicles are here to stay, whether we like them or not. Many of us are 65+, so our active life is on the countdown. That being said, I hope we all can have an active lifestyle for as long as possible.

My biggest concerns about electric vehicles are durability and distance between charges. Gas or diesel vehicles last well over 150,000 miles with very little maintenance involved. Plus we can go over 400 miles between fill ups in the average vehicle, towing not necessarily included, some many more (cars).

By 2035 I will be 85, so probably not driving much at that point.

My question is 2 parts - How is the durability of an electric vehicle and what is the farthest you can go between charging??????

Will we be able to recharge, use the restroom, get a coffee and a death dog with mustard in 15 to 20 minutes? I don't think so!

My daughter just purchased an extended mileage Tesla (332 miles), as far as durability, we will see.

I don’t know if any of the big 3 have all electric vehicles on the road right now. Seems most are hybrid and run on gas and electric. I rode in one of my friends Chevy hybrid a few months ago. It ran great and fast. Not sure on the fuel mileage. I can’t imagine a all electric dually that would be able to pull a big trailer for any long mile trips. I think it’s a pipe dream to be able to be no gas vehicles in 14 years. The technology is not good enough yet. I don’t even have a battery golf cart because of the charging and battery life.

My son has one. Had it a couple years now. He was over to the house last summer in it and brother John wouldn't even take a ride in it ! LOL ..In two years he has not spent a dime on fuel. Drives an hour each way to work. Plugs it into his garage charger when he gets home from work. Tells me he did not notice any change in his electric bill. So far, its never had to return to the dealer. Acceleration is amazing. I'm guessing, it's gotta be a 13 second car. Its so quiet inside its strange.
