No. I live in a cold climate and the battery life is reduced in cold weather. They don’t Have sufficient range in the winter if I have to go to Kenai or Fairbanks. [Reply]

Car batteries don't last too long in Phoenix either. [Reply]
Nope, not for me. I guess its fine if you live in a city and want to be cool. But they are nowhere near close to making one that will pull a 24 foot gooseneck, eqip with a hay hauler, 4wd one ton

City people and yuppies good for them
Electric drive motors would offer better towing performance, but the range and battery capacity needed to make it work isn’t there. It would be interesting to see a hybrid approach where you could effectively add on a gen set module if you needed extra range beyond what your battery could provide. I agree they aren’t that close yet so I’ll be happy with my Cummins until they get there. [Reply]
