Tesla's truck is $10k less than a comparable F-150. Chevrolet's Bolt (car) is about $10k more than a comparable gas car. My Nissan Leaf charges in the 5 seconds it takes me to plug it in when I get home. I don't have to stand there and watch it charge. I also refuse to accept less convenience and less utility for higher cost. Which is why I'm converting my fleet from gas to electric as quickly as I can afford it (not very quickly). Honestly, I'm keen to convert my old Ford tractor to electric. I'm tired of schlepping gas from the gas station for it. Or roading it to the gas station to fill it up. Which I should probably do today - a storm is expected....<br>_______________________________________________<br>AT mailing list<br>AT@lists.antique-tractor.com<br>http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com<br></body></html>
