racer254 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Just remember, Practical electric vehicles appeared during the 1890s. An electric vehicle held the vehicular land speed record until around 1900. In the 20th century, the high cost, low top speed, and short-range of battery electric vehicles, compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, led to a worldwide decline in their use as private motor vehicles. They have been around just as long as ICE vehicles. So the next time some dipshit says something about horses and buggies, just let them know, EV's were here along with the ICE vehicles. If we thought electric was practical, the ICE vehicles would not have been used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Cost him $4 in electricity to drag the trailer 60mi to grab my new XCR. In my Escalade it would have been almost 6 times that in gas. Jeep a little better, but not much. Hardly used any of its juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Actually it gets better than it did stock on the highway at 60. The snowmobile trailer fucks it up real bad though. Floats around 10 towing which is way worse than when towing the Malibu or Ranger with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
