Current incarnations of the 250s/2500s ride like dump trucks across all brands.  I test drove them all, both gassers and diesels, before I settled on the F150 with the 3.5L twin turbo EB engine.  It's been a great compromise for a daily driver that also does some pretty significant towing occasionally.

Obviously I have no idea what the 2035 2500s will feel like.

So, I looked it up..........


In 2017, 80.4 million workers age 16 and older in the United States were paid at hourly rates, representing 58.3 percent of all wage and salary workers. Among those paid by the hour, 542,000 workers earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. About 1.3 million had wages below the federal minimum. Together, these 1.8 million workers with wages at or below the federal minimum made up 2.3 percent of all hourly paid workers.

1.8 million out of 320 million Americans

LOL. My next car is definitely going to be a Tesla. Their brand new Plaid+ Model S sedan is freaking gorgeous and has a 590 mile range on full charge, does 200mph and goes 0-60 in 1.99 seconds. Only problem is fully loaded it's about $156k.

Let's imagine by 2035 that say 75% of sales of NEW cars and light trucks are fully EVs, that could be a rough estimate.  The percentage of EVs on the road would be say 40%, and growing.  I've read various estimates, but we'd need about 15-20% more electrical power to the grid, at night anyway.  At night.

That's doable, normally, but our overall demand for electric power is growing as well, along with GDP basically, or close to that.  So you'd need more wind power, much more, just to stay even, not able to shutter coal and NG production plants.  You can scribble the math on a napkin and it isn't good.
