Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

My 17 year old truck when it was new cost half of what electric vehicles cost. I will switch to electric eventually but this'll probably take around 25 years.
Are you accounting for inflation? 17 years ago is a while
Ignoring the math on inflation and maintenance and fuel ...all make this seem like a disingenuous comment.
It cost me 10k when I bought it used and the cheapest electric truck is well past 100k. My point still stands. EVs are way out my price range.
While you’re absolutely right about the sticker prices, after 17 years of use, an EV truck (had they existed that long) would probably have been cheaper to own.
