So the contestants are now:
- Ford F-150 Electric Pickup
- Rivian R1T
- Atlis XT
- Bollinger B2
- GMC Hummer EV
- Tesla Cybertruck
But you can play Oregon Trail (it's energy.gov's travel corridor map for alternate fuels) in your EV though!
"The family and I wanted to head west and see Yellowstone in our Tesla but we were stranded out past Laramie. Grandma died of dysentery and we had to eat the kids."
That is a great looking truck, and 600 mile range is KILLER. But that infrastructure will take decades to catch up, I'm reminded of the old VHS vs BetaMax.... will the US go full EV or will it go hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure?
Gas, diesel, and now EV and HFC is quite a logistics cluster for supply and demand. I really think we're decades away from being weened off fossil fuels enough that the EV and/or HFC infrastructure will be feasible for overland travel.
Maybe that's the subtle, long term plan to corral us into the cities and their approved corridors for travel - "alternate fuel" availability once combustion engines are outlawed would put the back country firmly out of reach for mere mortals unless they escape the electric eye on foot.
Well the UK just moved their Gas and Diesel New Car Sales Ban forward to 2035. Automakers have 15 years to get it figured out....I'm sure other countries will follow suit and then as the dates near there will be extensions, but it's coming. I didn't figure I'd see car sales moving to all electric in my lifetime but it might just happen...

As for the "new" Hummer...the diesel, IFS, portal axle hmmwv was the last vehicle that truly deserved that name...everything that came after it was simply a GM pickup truck with a different body and badge on it. We'll see what GM tries to do with this new vehicle...unless they're angling to take on the Bronco or 4runner or Jeep (tall order), I don't see much demand for this vehicle.
Nope, $112,000 at first. Lesser optioned models at lower cost by 2024, I think.Are they still saying $80K?
