1: It's cost is no more than what I paid for my 2015 Corolla.
2: It has the same range (400 miles) as my 2015 Corolla.
3: Gets a full charge on its batteries in the same amount of time as it takes me to fully fuel my 2015 Corolla.
Till then I'll stick with the proven technology of the Internal Combustion Engine.

Don"t forget charging stations everywhere in medium to large towns/cities and several un every city al9ng major highways all across America. Like with gas stations we have built in the last century or so.

Let's also not forget the safety factor. Lithium ion batteries have this nasty tendency to explode when you least expect it. Cars with internal combustion engines don't explode nearly as often.
Dblhaul:
I drive a RAM 3500 as my everyday transportation. Unburdened it gets up to 24 MPG, pulling a RV trailer or a flat trailer loaded with a tractor it gets 16mpg.
It will do either all day long only stopping for a ten minute refuel as required (33 gallon tank).
I haven't heard of a EV that can fit my needs yet.
3rd-try:
I have a '96 Ram 2500 (12V) Cummins 4X4 that in normal unloaded driving returns 22 MPG. But diesel costs more than Crown Royal these days so...

Yes, the Ram is a Cummins also.
I still wonder how the plants are going to get planted and crops get harvested with these electric tractors that need a recharge after four hours.
