I still use gas for my push mower and my snow blower. Seems foolish to change. Been lucky with snow so far.
As for EVs, they have a place but I don’t understand making a truck, which is supposed to be a work vehicle, that is so limited. Take a few years and make it worth buying. The more they are pushed upon us, the more the pushback will be.
“Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice!
Then if you got it you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice“

And I'll say this again. The goal of the EVs was to purposefully create high priced vehicles so that the lesser people would eventually follow the TRENDS of the RICH folks. Remember when even the lowest earners aspired to own a Cadillac, or Lexus, or Mercedes?
These electric vehicle efforts will affect the climate not by ONE iota. But the TRENDS that were "hopefully" created by some new-fangled vehicle would drive people to WANT the latest creation.
I'm not a marketing expert, but I have studied marketing. The first thing you do is "create a need", then focus on convincing people on WHY they need this. In this particular case, it started out (falsely) as saving the planet. From there it evolved into boasting about how fast these flamethrowers accelerate, while at the same time ignoring the negative reports.
I haven't been inside any EV other than the Tesla Model 3, and I can tell you that if you were impressed with the interior of a 2002 Cavalier, then you will be impressed with that Tesla.
