That's part of the plan....keeping people confined to 15 minute cities because these EV's aren't reliable for long distances.

Thank goodness I took high school science and physics classes in the 1960s, so I didn't have to blow $150, 000 to know these battery-powered dodos with wheels were already extinct when they hatched. 😎

He is not the only one who is unhappy about electric cars.

The greener it comes the more disasters we see.

I have been saying for years that every EV on the market is a loser.

[EllieMaes-Grandad]

Spent over $100k on a new car - without adequate research. One born every minute . . . ?

I don't feel bad for him at all. He bought into the con.

These things are giant chinese hoverboards just waiting to catch fire.

Any truck over 100 grand is a scam. EV or otherwise.

EV’s pollute more than ICE vehicles, just to make a battery. It takes tons of rare earth minerals to make the batteries. No way I’ll ever own one, Love my internal combustion engines 🙏🏼 Vroooom Vroooom 😂🤣

I'm still driving my 23 year old 2000 JEEP Wrangler with the 4.0L. It's paid for, great in the snow and fun when it's warm with the top down.

[jimharrow]

Should've known better... All EVs suck...

[MochaMan]

Gasoline will always be the Basic Necessity.

[mercuryboy]

And this man has a family. I feel for his wife and children, to have such a goose of a husband and father

[oliphauntsneverlie]

EV's as a niche market are fine but they are not close to replacing the internal combustion engine.

[ronhamm]

Who wouldn’t like lose two hours on your first stop of a road trip?! DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!!

[cannabiscatnip]

Just think if he’d had a the truck loaded and was doing actual work with it? That charge time would’ve dropped like a rock!

[kentuckyrain]

There should be a 30 day trial that you can get your money back !

Never buy "ford" and never buy "ev"!
