Democrats like North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper want all trucks to be electric. Tyler Hoover of Hoovies Garage demonstrates what this would mean for transportation:

Hoover tried to tow an old 1930s Ford pickup with his brand new Ford F-150 Lightning. The test didn’t go well, as the new electric truck used up way more range than expected.

He should have tried using the Model A to tow the Lightning. It would have worked better.

“If a truck towing 3,500 pounds can’t even go 100 miles … that is ridiculously stupid. This truck can’t do normal truck things,” Hoover says. …

“You would be stopping every hour to recharge, which would take about 45 minutes a pop, and that is absolutely not practical.”

But in a country run by ideologues, what is practical is not relevant. We must do what is politically correct.
