    I drive an EV already (Tesla) and put a deposit down on the F150. 300 miles will cover 95% of our needs as we don’t tow anything other than a boat short distances anymore. After owning our car for 3 years I can confidently say I will not own another gas or diesel vehicle.

    I totally get the range argument when it comes to towing. For those who don’t tow, one of the things a lot of EV owners find is that once you get into the larger range EVs it’s way less of a concern than you’d think. We have done lots of road trips, and charging has never been an issue. We actually prefer taking the car over the truck we have now (F150) for lots of reasons...one being that supercharging get us out of the car to stretch our legs and grab a coffee or whatever.

    Ford also patented a toolbox sized gas fired removable range extender that drops in the box. If they bring that to market it should take care of any range anxiety out there, including while towing. Total game changer IMHO. Fingers crossed they pull it off. Heck for most a rental service on that would work.
