Open Discussion of all Things Electric Vehicle (aka EV) for Those Pro or Con, BE RESPECTFUL!

If I were a marketing person and could have my way for and EV (which I am not and cannot respectively) what I would request.

An EV pickup similar to the Rivan or F150 Lighting but with the addition of a propane powered generator. Think 5-7kw?

That way when the truck is needed for long distance or out in the mountains or away from power the generator would be run to recharge batteries and the generator could be run while driving long distances to keep the batteries charged.

But most of the time the truck would be a plug in EV.

Yes it is a hybrid of sorts, but one where the car is still EV and the "hybrid" is only used when needed to charge batteries. It would have to be engaged by the driver.

Similar in concept to a Chevy Volt. Electric drive train with a gasoline generator to eliminate range anxiety.

Pass. WAY too many moving parts for my personal taste. I also prefer the other benefits that come with 100% EV I've come to appreciate over the years.

Wasn't proposing that you buy one, was responding to the poster pitching the idea of an electric truck with a propane generator. Please pay attention.

Is there some reason you can't be respectful to others?
