Dude it's not a joke! There's always going to be gas, but at what cost?

It will be some time before electric vehicles have the range to replace gasoline vehicles. Also, the infrastructure will take a long time to put into place, not to mention who is going to be comfortable waiting hours and hours for a recharge.

There will have to be a major breakthrough in technology first and it's not here yet.

Now I could definitely see certain US states restricting/taxing gasoline-powered vehicles out of the marketplace for most people, more so if they live in mass transit-serviced cities.

Re: If you had the money what would you do to your truck?

I support the electrification of vehicles & everyone (else) getting one. Leaves more dino juice for me.

As for what I would do...finish the restomod on my truck with no obstructions. The list is too long to think of everything here.

Electric motors are superior in every way to ICE ...the only problem is power supply. Hp and Torque per lb is much better from an electric vehicle. Once a storage is licked...ICE power will be phased out.

If I could do just one thing it would be a Gear Vendors Overdrive on the back of my THM400.

But then people won't even have to fly off bridges to crush you. Careful what you ask for. Many people have trouble just driving on the ground!
