Dodge going Electric

jmcarter · 01-31-2021, 09:23 AM

Washington and Oregon are experimenting with road use taxes as well, biggest hurdle I see is building the infrastructure to support all the charging stations. California already has rolling brownouts during peak season so not sure if more nuclear power is the answer, all kind of alternatives in discussion but for sure plenty of tax dollars spent as they take the inevitable 2 steps forward followed by 1-3 steps back. The Ford F-150 with the Pro Power options (all the way up to a 7.2kW output!) is an interesting twist at keeping gas powered vehicles viable. I’m currently considering picking up an electric car just in case world events and/or the current political climate continues unabated.
