Re: Electric 3100

yeah like I would wanna pay $160,000 USD for an electric truck. thats $216,442 CAD money, plus transport fees plus border fees, plus inspection fees and other items, like daytime running lights etc.
I live in Calgary, it is cold here for, like, 8 months of the year. cold like turn the heater on kinda cold. it is currently -31 deg C, with a wind chill, etc etc. I drive for 5 or 6 hrs to get to our summer place at the lake, but we also go there in the winter, just came home from there yesterday. so, drive for 3 hrs, get in line for the charger station, then wait for awhile for it to charge, etc.
not for me unless there is a charger built in, you know, like the chevy volt had. a small gasoline (sorry, I swore there didn't I) driven generator that would turn itself on and charge as you drive.
not being negative, just saying thats why a lot of people don't buy the spendy electric cars.
forgot to mention, I need something that will pull a boat for 5-6 hrs as well......through the mountains.....
