I have played with the idea of getting back into the game. Chances are that it won't happen, but never say never. IF I did it would be with a1 ton Dually pickup and a trailer with living quarters. What are the possibilities of having an electric pickup that could tow that trailer??? I can see me trying to pull into/or out of a charging station with that combo. Funniest home videos comes to mind.

Ford has an all electric F 150 prototype. They demoed it by towing 10 double deck freight cars 1000 feet. I'm as much a gas guy as anyone here and my house blows breakers on an air compressor so I'm not going EV anytime soon. Brian (T) says hybrid tech is good, but plug in has a way to go.
As far as the track goes for you, don't wait. Get or build a streetable racer like Al Young does with his Plymouth and run Sportsman. A Chevy wagon would give you sleeping quarters or tow a small trailer. I started towing a home built teardrop trailer to the track with my Mustang and went from there.
