Dodge going Electric

[Carguy49]

I last towed a race car with a 4-WD 3/4 ton Suburban and an open trailer. No problem, towed with ease.

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.

Look up electric cars catching fire while charging. Then decide if technology is ready yet.

Idiots in gas stations never catch their car on fire while fueling.

"Idiots" manage to burn down their houses and choke on cheeseburgers too! Most go into politics. Maybe what humanity needs to do is eliminate "idiots".

Have you ever seen a lithium-ion battery overheat and burst into flames in a cellphone while it's in the owner's pocket? Or in a laptop while it's on the owner's lap? Or in an EV while it's going down the road? There's stuff like that all over the internet.
The point being, it's beyond the users control. If a person can "catch their car on fire while fueling", then "it's" probably something that they are doing and it probably has something to do with idiocy.

FCA/Stellantis closed down the SRT division this past week, with its employees being moved into their respective "base car" groups from what I understand. I doubt we ever see anything like the Demon again

1. Please get back in to the game!

2. I am sure you could find an electric truck to tow with, I doubt it would have much range with the trailer.

3. I am sure charging would be an adventure!

I'm not sure if I should order my 2035 electric COPO to replace the 2019 yet. It ain't wore out, goes like hell and is the most fun I've encountered. Letric cars have their place but I hope the Gubmint don't shove them down our throat. If we could just let the people that need combustion vehicles do their stuff and allow the Letric stuff play by the same rules it would be OK. But I doubt it will play out like that. Gubmint don't work that way. Just sayin.........
