  1. I notice that theses adds for ev vehicles don’t mention the costs of the quick chargers for your home. From what I’ve researched plugging into your 110v gets you 8 miles for every hour of charge. The fastest chargers are around $20,000” the average person will never be able to afford these things

  2. rivian a front end so ugly its own mother would bag its head
    bollinger whole truck is beyond fugly
    atlas good looking truck to slow though
    hummer useless for cargo Arnold is a libtard so who cares what he says, again not fast enough and no range
    fords just suck! non starter
    e10 useless but very gorgeous
    work horse maybe a work donkey with no range or power
    zh2 not a pick up although looks cool
    donglame Chinese non starter,
    ranger lame put it in a sport side by side
    Tesla tri motor smokes them all

  3. None of this even comes close to competing with th cyber truck. And if the military was goin to pick any thing they need to refuel it on the battlefield, hydrogen really? Also u know nothing about what a 50 bag can do!

  4. I own, and ranch off grid with the Polaris EV. Great work vehicle! 2, 3, & 4 wheel drive options, high, med, low ranges. Dump bed. Absolutely love it. Recharges on 2 hrs LP generator while generator is being run for other needs. Very doable. Love it!

  5. How is the Cyber truck, better than the Cyber truck? How dumb are you? Or did you just completely half ass, or phone this one in, like a lazy looser?

  6. Good luck Rivian. Ford pulled it's backing. — And good luck Bollinger with that price tag. I expect to see exactly three on the roads in all of California. — And that mind-numbingly boring fucking F-150. Ugh. – OK, the Colorado is badass. I would imagine it'll have a price tag that only the military can afford.

  7. I don't get all this electric BS. They never talk about the the pollution involved making these batteries and repairing them not to mention the toxic fumes and fire risks. The lithium mines they dig with Fuel/electric rigs you can see from the moon. its worse than you think! The world just needs road ways with eclectic in them so you can burn fuel or connect to clean power when needed. I guess this is just to simple to think a car that runs on both hummmm
