Total bullshit. The batteries are recyclable. As we transition to renewable generation, it will cost even less to fuel an EV. If you consider the external costs of ICE's they are far more expensive than EV's. Asthma, and other lung ailments are directly related to the burning of fossil fuel. The environmental degradation from mining coal far exceeds that from mining lithium. Same for mining and refining petroleum.Stupid people only look at the effects of vehicles on the economy and environment via how much it costs to fuel the damned things.
Intelligent people look at the effects of vehicles on the economy and environment via what toxic materials are used, what waste production there is, and how much toxins result in the use and destruction of said vehicles.
Batteries and their production are a hell of a lot worse and more toxic for the environment and economy than burning fuel.

Prove ithit. The batteries are recyclable

Add a mileage tax.Who believes the Feds won't jack up taxes at the electric outlet? Does anyone
believe that with the losses of state and federal taxes at the gas pump that they
won't go looking for a new source of revenue via electric charging of vehicles?
electric cars are a good thing

And the fellow with the EV pickup can charge his pickup for a tiny fraction of the cost of filling those two tanks.I have two 15 gallon tanks on my F-150 and it takes a tiny fraction of the time to fill those than it does to charge an electric.
OK, either we take the cost of maintaining our roads out of a user tax, or we take it out of the general funds of the Federal budget, state and county budgets. Which gets your votes?Add a mileage tax.

You know, most of us do not drive over about 40 miles a day. Aside from a trip once in a while, fueling an EV is hardly a problem for most of us. And when on a trip, Tesla has a large network of superchargers at present, and is enlarging it on a daily basis.While he's charging I'm still driving.
Can’t go as far thoughAnd the fellow with the EV pickup can charge his pickup for a tiny fraction of the cost of filling those two tanks.
If you're filling them two tanks on that F-150 everyday ... you're driving too much ... the only question is why you need a half-ton pick-up?
Who are you to determine how much someone else needs to drive in a day, or what sort of vehicle he needs to carry everything that he needs to take with him?
Whoever it is that you are addressing, surely his needs are different than yours. And my needs are different than his and different than yours.
For my part, as a construction worker, I may have to drive as much as 80 miles each way to a job site, in a vehicle that has capacity for all my tools, and once it gets there, is able to handle the bad terrain that is typical on many such sites. My present car, a compact sedan is barely adequate to carry me and all my tools, and it handles very badly on rough terrain. I have a Ford Bronco on order, due to arrive some time the middle of next year, which will probably cost more to run, but which will otherwise be much more appropriate to my needs.
That's only 160 miles ... are you suggesting that two tanks of gasoline won't take you that far in a given day? ... I can get 400 miles with just one tank on the Tacoma ... and the load capacities are the same ... 15 sheets of 1/2" plywood and you're not even 1/3 full HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW ...
The Tacoma is not better but the Toyota doesn't try to hide the fact it's apussy rigglorified motorized wheelbarrow ...
An EV is a horrible idea for you ... why are you even debating this? ... but why not the F-350? ... the mileage ain't that much worse ...
As I said, my needs are different than yours, and different from whoever you were addressing with the F150. I assume that he made a rational choice, that the F150 was the best vehicle for your needs. Apparently, you're happy with a piece of Japanese trash as the best choice for your needs. Neither of those are a good choice for my needs.
I don't need to carry anything as big as sheets of plywood, but I do need a secure, closed space in which to carry my valuable tools. A pickup truck of some sort (obviously, a Ford (the only remaining true great American vehicle manufacturer after Chrysler sold out to FIAT and General Motors was torn down and rebuilt Советских-style by the government), and not some Japanese garbage), with a securely-attached shell might be an acceptable solution, but nowhere near the best for me.
An SUV is clearly the best choice for me, and since I need it to last a long time, I need one that is built in the old-school body-on-frame manner, and not the weaker, newfangled monocoque style. That pretty much leaves me with two viable choices among Ford's current offerings: The Bronco or the Expedition.
You haven't explained why an SUV is better for you than an F-150 ... nor what manner of construction you're involved in that you never need to haul materials ... if your concern is NOT better gas mileage ...
Why should I? I know what I need to carry, and what I don't need to carry, and where and how I may need to carry it. I'm in the best position to judge what kind of vehicle is most suitable for this, and I certainly am not in any way accountable to you for my choices in the matter.
500 milesCan’t go as far though
