[QUOTE="1965mdpd, post: 1765310, member: 59055"] This is my first response on this forum. I owned a 2017 Raptor (special ordered) and am awaiting the Raptor R. The issue of EV's has several major problems and they are major problems. There is no infrastructure to support EV's more than a home charging station. The current administration has absolutely no program and no intent to development a national EV charging station infrastructure and if they did it would not be forthcoming for a significant amount of time. What is the true monetary value of an EV? What is resale value of an EV.? Will ther be a used market for EV's? Hydrogen is the green fuel absolute but there is no desire to pursue it because there is no profit in it. The cost of an installation of an EV home charging system for something that is no more than an errand vehicle is prohibitive to the average person who would not see a break even point on the vehicle in their lifetime. One last observation, the cost of electricity is now as high as gasoline so there is no savings to be had. When the batteries on these vehicles have to be replaced the owner of an EV will really suffer sticker shock. [/QUOTE]
