is that for real? it take six hours to fully charge and you can only drive for about an hour on the highway. I think they need to rethink their efforts to make the product more resonable.

and the point of a ranger would be...............................

but 500 pounds in the bed and lets see how fast it can go!

electric = focus
gas = truck

how much torque can you get out of a battery?

I think that they shouldn't make an electric truck until you can go atleast 3 hours. put that motor in a metro or something. I think that I would like a lil metro with one of them lil wind up keys. screw that 6 hour stuff. I could just wind it up and go

electric cars are quick, dont fool yourself...with a combustion engine you have to wait for the motor to rev to the proper rpm for maximum torque and hp, with the electric there is no waiting, all power and torque is instant...though not fun because there is no thrill with out a deep exhaust note that turns into a scream.

I agree with alaskanranger they need to get to the point where the truck is going to be more useful than be a burdon on the owner. I personally would not own a truck that took longer to charge than it does to run the battery down, but thats just my opinion.
