I remember as a 9 year old kid, when I first got my hotwheels sizzler set. Charged up the car and let it rip, boy did it go real fast without gravity assist...until it stopped. Time to charge it again, whoopee. Then that got old when the charger batteries died...bummer. Well, back to the gravity track it was as I didn't have a job yet to buy more D cells, lol.
Last time I went fishing and camping I did not see any chargers in the boondocks I like to go. I guess if you always plug in for camping you can shuffle between your trailer and your truck, I don't know...
I'll stick with gravity...er, fossil fuel, myself. YMMVLast edited by Grandesigner; 06-03-2021 at 07:58 AM.

You beat me to this. I watched that video the other day and couldn't believe he was the only one that picked up on that. Good for Ford for doing the range number with real world implications. And I am impressed that it has the onboard scale in the bed and automatically adjust your range calculation based on load and what roads you are going to be on. It will be cool to see how this does when the guys at TFL get to test it.

The manufacturers are already in talks with Love's and Pilot stations to have pull through charging stations. Ford showed one in their promotional video with the F150 pulling an Airstream through it. Several Love's already have regular gas pumps that are pull through just for RVs. I'm sure there will be similar setups as the charging rates get increased enough. I agree the tech isn't there yet but it isn't far off. The good side to charging an electric truck/RV combo vs a car is that while your truck is charging you can hang out in your home.

That's my point about the tech not being there yet though. Two years ago is was four hours to get 80% charge. Now they have it at 45 minutes in a lot of cases. Once they get it to about 20 minutes or so for a few hundred miles of range things wouldn't be any different then now. I see people at Love's/Pilot all the time that may as well be having a picnic at the regular pumps.
