FNG here. Agreed it is a flawed poll. I select "never" but that isn't so much true. Perhaps if an option was 20+ years, maybe... and even then so, I'd be more inclined to deal with a hybrid fuel/electric truck than full on electric. I have nothing to add that hasn't already been stated within the span of this thread, other than I agree with aforementioned points about electric charge times, and nowhere to charge up in remote areas, or what about disaster effected areas... areas like of which I live in, where hurricanes can knock out power for days or even weeks. Sure, in situations like that even gas stations can run out of fuel -- but that's why you can fill up beforehand and have a reserve supply of gas or whatnot readily available for that moment. Same concept with remote areas. If you run out of gas in the woods, you can fill with a gas tank you had in the bed and be on your way. You can't keep a reserve electricity to plug and charge you vehicle sufficiently. Also comes to mind the actual ability of the truck itself. I frequently overload and overwork my trucks hauling large amounts of scrap iron + trailers. I just can't see an all eclectic truck being able to take the abuse I throw at it without needing constant recharges which will no doubt cost a pretty penny. Yeah I know, they're developing all electric semi trucks.. though I'd like to see how that works out in the real world. I'm betting the overhead for keeping such a vehicle running and productive will be more than most are willing to bear. In 20 or so years, when the technology has been refined and gone thru the trials and tribulations, then maybe I'll give it a second look. But until then, I wouldn't even consider an all electric truck. again in the meantime, would possibly consider a hybrid, maybe. Also, hydrogen fuel? No way. I'd consider LPG or CNG beforehand. At the end of the day, I'm not old.. but you can keep all that extra techy electric BS. All this electric push is not much more than a gimmick.. combined with millennial need to be "tech-everything". I'll give up oil and fuel when the billionaires give up their private jets and helicopters. Internal Combustion or bust lol
