the electriv vehicle comments, I have a 5.9L v-8 in a 1500 Dodge
Ram to haul loads of construction and landscaping material. I just
can't imagine a electric vehicle that will handle that unless I haul
miles of extension cables.

Check out the engines on trains. If they take the diesel electric design
and adapt it to a pickup, it can be done. Cost is the issue. There are
large electric vehicles operating in other industries too. My guess is we
will not ever see it, but I'd never say it cannot be done.
