Welcome to the party.........

1. If you buy the right one, it plans your route so this doesnt happen on longer trips. And during regular driving, you should be watching your usage like any gas tank. When's the last time you ran out of gas?
a. Nope, sure dont own one. Do have one on order that I might receive in late 23 or early 24.
b. Go right ahead, I like choice and am fine if you want that. I'll always have a couple around myself.
2. Well, if you think your opinion rises to facts. Better depends on what you want, of course. For you, maybe ICE is better, but you are not everyone.
3. I agree the Lightning F-150 is a crappy execution. Ford screwed up by choosing the path of converting the ICE f-150 into an EV. That conversion path means its less efficient than a clean sheet design would be.
4. My post related to the Tesla Cybertruck. Which folks mock for looking crazy, but those looks derive from a desire to both do truck stuff and be efficient. Exoskeleton, huge castings, structural battery pack. These design features let you use a smaller battery and get still get greater range.
5. Battery degradation is a thing, true. But not as much as people think. And we dont have data on newer designs, which improve over time so EVs made today should suffer less than older ones. A lot of people try and equate Nissan Leaf data to modern EVs, and they dont really cross.

1st off..... PLEASE learn to use punctuation. Commas are your friend.

2nd, what happens if your ICE runs out of gas?

3rd, if you're dumb enough to let your ICE or EV run out of gas/charge, you deserve to be inconvenienced just for being stupid.

Yeah, you call a couple of gas stations, let me know how that works out :) But in any case, if there are enough people stupid enough to run out of charge, there will be service to bring you some juice. Oh, look, people are already on that. Really, adding a Tesla Powerpack onto a few tow trucks would be child's play.

You probably should. Your posts take on the persona of a 4 year old. Besides having to re-read your posts multiple times to understand them, no one takes you seriously.

Agree... but every EV, and even my 2014 GMC ICE, has a estimated range remaining display. As it gets low, indicators start popping up. I don't have an EV, but I can only imagine it will start raising more urgent displays as you get closer to 'empty'. If you choose to ignore the displays and indicators, you absolutely deserve to get stuck.

Don't they go into a limp/turtle mode to reduce consumption of the last of the power so that you can maybe get to a charge point or at least off a busy road?
