Ford is getting in bed with Tesla... surprised Stellantis or Gov't Motors isn't right behind them...

www.cnbc.com

Ford EVs will use Tesla charging tech in surprise partnership between rival automakers

Ford Motor will partner with Tesla on several charging initiatives for its current and future electric vehicles in an unusual tie-up.

It's funny I heard rumors that GM plans to keep pushing their mini-Duramax in their 1500 series for another few years, as Stellantis dumped their EcoDiesel out of their 1500 for "electrification"... Maybe GM is listening to their customers? LOL

Queers do not buy cars...they use public trans and bicycles and bathhouses.
LBGTQ do not buy V8 Mustangs or F150's.

EV's will kill all travel beyond 300 miles, and there will never be enough charging stations or grid capacity or batteries big enough ..only Hybrids can work out.

C&D did racing test of an EV car and only was able to manage one lap at full throttle at VIR before the battery ran flat.

Big Trucks will always be DIESEL and Passenger Trains/DIESEL busses will rule the Interstates.The military will continue to burn DIESEL and Jet Fuel.

I actually feel,that the libs should not be allowed to buy cars or get out of the cities except by public transportation, and never be allowed into Yellowstone, or west of the Mississippi.

They will eventually add a "charge while driving" option on the interstates. Then all long haul trucking will switch over very quickly (it will likely be driverless at that point too).

Basically it will be like wireless charging for your cell phone, but built into the pavement and longer range to reach a receiver on the bottom of the trucks.

That's not happening soon, but I think most of us will see it in our lifetimes.

Technically trains fall into the "hybrid" category.
The Diesel engine doesn't drive the locomotives directly. It powers a generator to create electricity for the traction motors. This allows for maximum torque at zero mph.

Instead of bypassing the logical step of pure-gas>gas-electric-hybrid>pure electric why can't we make more efficient hybrids?

What we need are the next step in Hybrids.

Built like the locomotives.

Current Hybrids are basically ICE drive trains with an electric motor bolted on.

What you really want is an electric car with half the battery replaced with a generator and fuel tank.

Hybrids are the most cost effective and cause less damage to the environment than fully electric cars. And they are the most convenient to fuel up if one has a plug in option .
