With all the talk about guys adding bigger fuel tanks to there trucks to increase range and make refueling easier a electric truck or class A will maybe in the 200 mile range. Then you have to stop and wait for the battery to charge. Not sure how many people want to twiddle there thumbs waiting for there vehicles to charge. I am not one of them.
Electric vehicles are just not main stream. On another note as the batteries get old they don't hold a charge as well to millage goes down. Neighbor had a Pris Hybrid and the battery went dead and he couldn't even start the motor because of the battery was bad.
I am just not sure why people think this is going to be the future of transportation.
