Joe Biden visited Ford’s test track and became the first president to drive the incredible lightening fast all electric Ford F-150.
He launched it from a dead stop to 60 in 4.3/4.4 seconds (some dispute). He deftly handled the car at high speeds on a very challenging open field.
Coolest. President. Ever.
Truck looks pretty badass too.
Biden isn't the coolest president ever. Full disclosure, he was my second to last choice for president. trump being my last choice. So I guess my opinion isn't the same as other people. However, coolest? Really?
That truck is cool. He's driving a very cool truck. I sure hope that people buy them.
I have driving a hybrid car since 2001. Until then I never realized how loud and how bad a regular gas vehicle smells. Wow. I was shocked I sat in that stench for so many years and didn't realize I had gotten used to it.
I'm not used to a noisy and stinky vehicle anymore. I wish more vehicles that aren't noisy and stinky were on the road.
The truck he drove has an 1800 pound lithium battery built into the chassis. China's Ganfeng Lithium, one of the world's biggest lithium producers, said on Monday it had signed an initial deal to explore setting up a plant to make lithium batteries in Argentina's northwestern Jujuy province.
Clean energy such as lithium batteries are not really that "clean"...

Child labor is also used in the production of lithium...

Thank you! I've been asking people for years how and where these massive, toxic batteries will be disposed of when they come to the end of their lifecycle. So far, no one has provided a good answer. They cannot be recycled.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you will go to your grave ignorant as you were in middle school.
Happily, the answer is yes -- the batteries that power electric cars (and hybrids, for that matter) can be recycled. Learn more about recycling electric car batteries.

Electric batteries for cars are recycled. Just like most parts for cars.
It's taken down to the core and rebuilt. Just like most car parts.
The batteries are recharged to be just like new.
They don't end up in the environment just like the rest of parts for cars don't end up in the environment.
When we traded in the first hybrid, the batteries were dead, it's the reason why we traded it in. Before the time I had finished the deal to buy the new hybrid, the dealer had those batteries recharged to new and had driven the car around the car lot.
Batteries that were completely dead and we thought the car would end up broken down on the road, were brought back to life in a matter of minutes to be just like new. No parts ended up in any land fill.
That very old and lame lie about batteries will always be proven as the lie it is but the conservatives continue to spew it just like they keep spewing already debunked lies all the time.
Hybrid Batteries. Our rebuilt hybrid batteries offer similar performance at about one fourth of the cost of a dealership. (979) 848-6868
