FORD Electric Pickup
by enorbet from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5J3Z1)
I just read a great article in Wired

regarding the new electric Ford pickup and find it extremely interesting. This thing does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and has the astounding startup torque common to electric motors, massive maximum compared to the rpms required of internal combustion engines.
The onboard battery system can power a common American household for 3 days. All this and the selling price is on a par with gasoline and diesel trucks. There are downsides though since Big Oil is so firmly entrenched in the fabric of our society that gasoline taxes are an important part of covering road maintenance expenses.
It's going to be fascinating to watch this play out whether we love it or hate it.
All comments welcome :)
