600 miles isn't nearly enough.   I need to be able to drive from IN to FL on a single charge.  And the battery needs to be guaranteed to last the life of the car before I'd consider an EV.

Can you drive from IN to FL on a single tank of gas?

 

No he can’t unless he has aux tanks. 

 

lol.  My F150 could do it genius.

 

An F150 with a large tank has a 500-700 mile range. Jeffersonville IN to Pensacola FL is about 630 miles. You’d be lucky to get there. I don’t know where you live in Indiana but I suggest you hop into the F150 and try getting to Pensacola without getting gas. Should be fun. Try for Disney World.

Merry Christmas.

 

You could have just said “I was wrong, there are vehicles that can do it without auxiliary tanks.”

I l’d bet your 150 can’t do it. I gave about the shortest option and I don’t think you’d make it. I’d really enjoy to see you try. Start in Bloomington and you’re definitely not making it.

This is what makes you the worst kind of stupid & so enjoyable to prove you wrong yet again. You have posted in this thread:

“No he can’t”  without knowing anything about what he drives, where he’s starting, or where he’s going

An F150 range is up to 700 miles

From Jeffersonville to Pensacola is 630 miles

yet are still arguing about it.  What a doofus.  🤣

500-700. I’d bet money you couldn’t do it. Odds are ever in my favor. Where do you live in Indiana? Above Seymour your chances become zero. You’d be shitting bricks after 500. Sorry, shitting rocks. 😄 Also, doesn’t dbm live in Indy area. Not a chance. I doubt you have ever proven me wrong, though you won’t say who you were on the old WC, which is a bit cowardly. 

Regardless, Merry Christmas.

I was wrong. A large tanked F150 does about 500 miles if you drive like an old woman, and the hybrid can do about 700. Which is where the 500-700 mile range comes from. You can’t make it from southern Indiana to Northern Florida - about 630 miles. Do you need me to explain this simple math to you? Where do you live in Indiana? Where does dbm live? I can tell you about how short of Florida your trip would be and about where you’d run out of gas. Neither of you can make it, but you can get aux tanks for the old gas guzzler and make it.

Merry Christmas.

@mrhighlife Hybrid made much more sense.  Dems trying to convert us all to electric was just stupid, per usual.

Eh. I missed the part where I was forced to get an EV. Or even pressured. 

Nothing happened except capitalism. Its still happening.

@bradstevens Mcmurt?  Cougars?  Yikes.  I hope for your sake you're already taken and got your wife a nice gift.  Between cougars and your desire to drive a 70s pickup truck you have about as much game as GI Joe here arguing with everyone

How old are you Sharon?  Measurements?

Do you enjoy soccer?  Starbucks? Lawyers and/or entrepreneurs?

@bradstevens Are you a cave man?  You don't ask a woman those things in 2025.  Good grief.  Bovaconti never Starbucks!  No lawyers.  My husband went to law school but is in finance.  JD/MBA.

@mrhighlife 

The Biden Administration offers significant electric vehicle (EV) and clean energy incentives through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), including up to a $7,500 tax credit for new EVs (with strict North American manufacturing/battery rules), up to $4,000 for used EVs, and tax credits for home charger installation (30% up to $1,000) and other home energy upgrades like solar, heat pumps, and insulation, plus funding for public charging infrastructure

Biden finalizes crackdown on gas cars, forcing more than half of new car sales to be electric by 2030.

You are aware of the steps the Biden administration took that caused gas prices to spike I'm sure.  

You were pressured dear. I'm just afraid you weren't perceptive enough to know it.

That's pretty damn good. That is the most optimal estimations, you're not going to actually get those numbers, but still very good. My old 2007 F150 got around 14-15 on the highway if I was lucky. 

Good to see current tech is getting more efficient AND future tech is getting better.

Yeah, but physics always wins. Efficiency will only get you so far. Big iron is never going to get good mileage, no matter how much tech you throw at it.
