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.

I'm on both sides of this. Had an EV for nearly 4 years and had to go back to gas for work (construction, moving/having tools, materials and supplies).
I cannot wait for an affordable small ev pickup. Even a not that affordable one. I just can't do $100k for an oversized monster like the Lightning. But give me a $60k Ranger/Frontier style (basically the smallest truck they make these days, without a full SUV on the front) and 500km range and I'm in.
I hate getting gas. I hate it so much.
Lightning is like $50k now. But yeah I get it. I just saw one of the 43574 Chinese brands made a small truck.
I'm in Canada, I do t think even a used bare bones Lightning is $50k CAD. I'll take a look though because last time I checked prices was in the spring. But it's still too big for my parking situation and a danger to pedestrians. I need a truck not an SUV with an exposed trunk.
