I don't want to de-rail this fantastic thread, but I'm actually pretty curious to see what RAM has cooked up for their EV truck.
Sure, they are late to the game, but it's been more or less "confirmed" that it will have some sort of a range extender, or maybe it will as an option. Maybe a small gas engine (aka Volt anyone??) that would power the battery to make range anxiety either much less or non-existent.
This, in my opinion, is the way forward.
We don't need huge humongous batteries just so we can get 400+ miles on a single charge. What would actually be more practical in my opinion, is something like the Volt, except with a bit more electric range, but still an available ICE engine so that range worries are not a problem. With this setup, most people could commute to work day and day out on pure electric. Want to go on a trip? Well then you use gas.
