," where Rivian customers can exclusively charge their vehicles at various U.S. locations. Rivian currently has 113 DC fast charging sites and 34 additional locations are coming online soon, Caravano said.The all-electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV, which made its debut in New York this month, has a targeted range of 350 miles with a standard 168 kilowatt-hour battery pack. That number jumps to 500 miles if owners choose the larger 229 kilowatt-hour battery.
"We believe in bringing the right range of powertrain solutions to our customers and will continue to redefine the pickup truck segment. Our all-new Ram 1500 REV pushes past the competition in areas customers care about most including range, towing, payload and charge time," Ram CEO Mike Koval Jr. said.
A Chevrolet Silverado electric truck during opening day of the 2023 New York International Auto Show , April 7, 2023, in New York.Jim Farley, the president and CEO of Ford, told ABC News in March a second electric will soon be built at Ford's BlueOval City manufacturing campus in Stanton, Tennessee.Electric trucks' gargantuan size and massive battery packs have not gone unnoticed.
Another criticism of electric trucks: Range drops precipitously when towing. MotorTrend found the F-150 Lightning's range fell from 300 to 115 miles when towing a 3,140-pound camper. The magazine'sthe truck's max range was 100 miles when pulling a 5,260-pound camper. The R1T's estimated 314-mile range gets slashed by half when hauling a heavy load, according to reports.
Id be crazy to buy one. My truck has 220k miles .... 40k for a new truck i can buy 8,000 gallons of gas $5 and 19mpg is 152k. I can drive 13 years for that price. Lightning battery has an 8 year life n im sure its not cheap. I can fix almost anything on my truck myself
This claim is very hard to believe.
Bullshit!
No they’re not. Fake news.
Gov sponsored propaganda
If you are wondering why , owned by Disney, posted this article — they have a marketing partnership with electric vehicle companies. This is not news, this is an advertisement mandated by contractual agreement.
sure they are 😂
torque
I’m calling BS
Super expensive! Nah I'll wait like 10 more years
We’re basically China now. Propaganda ass news station.
Uhhh, not really...
Doubt it, just more manufactured consent.
Lmao
GMA ABC will always promote the fairy tale agenda regarding climate change multiple times weekly. Starts with GMA and continues with local and national news throughout each day.
Without a single shred of evidence to give this story credibility. Do you people just make this stuff up while eating breakfast?
This is state sponsored media.
🤣😂🤣
Tax rebates and government intervention in the auto industry. Thus government influenced free market.
PROPAGANDA & LIES!!
New York is 40th in truck shares. The states that must be won over are in the top 20 of truck shares. States like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Vermont, Oklahoma, Texas. The top 20 are going to be the money makers for Ford, GMC, Rivian, not podunk towns in upstate NY.
Fake news
I guess you could use it to haul your Bud Light.
What happens if we go to war with China? China makes 75% of lithium batteries for EV’s.
Bullshit. Can't pull a boat 100 miles. Junk
GMA Whatever!! Who can afford!!! Liers!!!
Nope
💩💩
Can’t say I’ve ever seen one.
PROPAGANDA
Which is superior?
BS
Forgive me if I don't think Kingston, New York is a hotbed of 'traditional pickup owners'
Yep not gonna happen I love my gas pick up
Bull Shit
There’s a % of Americans who will refuse to buy an EV truck just because. They don’t want anything that could be seen as “woke”. For most people though it’s about cost (EV trucks are not cheap!) battery range, and the ability to easily recharge as fast as filling up with gas.
Can you please disclose how much Ford paid for this advertisement?
Spent a lot of money on publicity
Yeah OK.
...said no actual man ever.
Not with the current price tags..
Did Ford pay for this advertisement or was it free?
No they aren’t
As soon as charging stations are as common as gas stations and you can fully recharge in roughly the same amount of time it takes to fill a gas tank, start kissing combustion engines goodbye.
Not this girl. I'm good with helping save the planet by having an electric vehicles for my certain luxury cars, (not Tesla tho), but man, my trucks, my bikes, my sports cars, gotta have that raw power, those pipes growlin' low & mean. There has to be compromise somewhere😊
State Media
This E-car hoax is a shame!
Government funded media spreading propaganda for the government.
This story is so dumb. The people writing this drivel have never been on the beach in a 4x4 and don't know what outback Australia is all about. Electric trucks will be owned by look at me posers that will be known by everyone else on the streets as try hards. Defund the ABC
And…they are only $84,192 Let’s buy 2 😜
Bullshit maybe for he, she liberals. Real trucks burn fossil fuel!!
not around here their not
No they're not
If you use a/c in electric vehicles, you can cut the range in half.
Yeah I don't think so
I can promise you. In my town of Ellensburg, no one drives an electric truck. Everyday, hard working Americans, aren’t going to shill out that type of cash/financing package to go “green”.
Those headlights are giving me violent thoughts
Fake news
Not true at all. Can’t go far before they need a charge. Time lost waiting for damn charge. No good in cold climates . No good in traffic jams. No good in desert areas. No good in mountain areas Cost of replacement batteries is astronomical
Ugly.
yea maybe like 10 of them lmfao.
What happens when the people who fervently wanted this have them? That’s really the only market there, those numbers will take a sharp decline once the pre-orders are fulfilled.
BS
Shid I’ve seen those Electric Pickup Truck prices $100,000+😳
Don’t believe these headlines are lies!!!
Electric cars.... TOXIC.. MACHIN
Y’all don’t know any people who own pickups that actually pick up stuff, do you?
Uh yeah. Not so much. I'd rather pay $60k for my V8 Gas Guzzling Suburban than one of those products of child labor. An EV? Heh. Lol... nope.
Perfect example of why you are fake news
Simply saying this won't result in its manifestation. Ford just said they lost several billion dollars due to EV unit
No thank you
Gross!!
Did the White House pay you to say that?
No they aren’t
Yeah lets see one of those tow a 5 ton excavator all day or up and down hills.
Now we gots no warmings!
No, they are not
Good grief! Those poor owners. Especially when they try to tow trailers and what not.
They stopped making “trucks” a long time ago
This is a lie.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. NO
Yea but what if you’ve got a toolbox and lumber racks and are carrying 1K + lbs of lumber up the canyons? How’s your range then?
Uh no
FALSE. Electric trucks cannot haul sh$t. Nor do they hold up.
fake news
Lol.... suburban soccer dad's that bought trucks cause they're 'cool' aren't traditional pickup owners.
I'll keep my gas truck
Haha, yeah no,
No, their not.
My husband, a truck owner: LOL NO.
Have any real people out on the streets confirmed this or is ABC full of it like usual?
LMAO, maybe in soy land
This is statistically false. One just has to look at yearly sales. The ford f150 is the top selling vehicle in the USA.
No…….they’re not.
If by “I commute to work in my crew cab F-150 and have nothing to tow/haul.” you mean “traditional pickup owners.” I’ll say sure. But for those of us that need to tow/haul anything more than, say, 100 miles: LOLZ false.
Think of an IKEA run from Des Moines to Minneapolis and back. What kind of range and how long to charge? How many charge stations?
Yeah. 12 hour drive to Wyoming and how many times I need to stop for 3 hours+ to charge? F off.
Saw zero on the AZ trails this weekend. Cords couldn't reach?
LOL. No the F they’re not.
NOT!!!
I'm waiting for the article that says the presidential limousine and all support vehicles in his motorcade are electric.
That's actually a load of crap.
They really aren't. I have no intention of going for something heavier, that I can't almost fully submerge, and that has the potential to fucking explode if I make the misfortune of scraping the chassis.
Only the ones that prepare omelettes and french toast for their wife's boyfriend.
This is called lying, ABC. Try the Soviet green propaganda elsewhere, maybe California, New York even.
Propaganda.
🤡🌎
Junk. Buy a real truck!
🤣 Sure for the people that don’t use their truck as a truck.
It’s not a truck if it can’t do work, these things are useless to the blue collar worker who actually need trucks
Electric trucks have a very limited reasonable use case. Electric trucks are popular with the fashion obsessed, the unreasonable, and the very small number of people who move bulky but light objects over very short distances with no profit motive.
no
Like hell they are, why you lying?
That’s a big NO!
lol
Owners and Users are very different.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who don’t haul anything or go anywhere
Lol, no
No they’re not
Stop lying Nobody in rural America is going to buy that crap
Sure when billy Bob can pull the camp trailer and haul his fat wive and kids for more than 50 miles without charging
LOL Bullshit.
96% of Americans can’t afford EV trucks. “From the bottom up and middle out” -Joe Biden
The author writes exclusively about EVs. No bias there, I'm sure.
Maybe in your cul de sac
No, they aren’t. Go to any job site, you won’t find ANY electric car or truck. Complete propaganda.
No they’re not
LOL! No, they really aren't.
They are absolutely not.
No they aren’t.
I’ll stick with my F-350 thanks.
Horse hockey
Absolutely not. I’d be all for it if was tenable, efficient, and functional. It is not.
That's a big steamy pile of bullshit.
until they learn they are being tracked.
Best car I’ve owned. 0-60 in 3 seconds too
Lol. Nooooo they aren’t
Stop your propaganda!
No. They aren’t. Stop lying to support your political agenda. They are good but they aren’t that good yet.
L O L Nope.
Real trucks can actually pull and carry things
Yah... That's a big NO... Go play your games somewhere else.
Total BS, the only people I see buying them drove cars before they thought this would make them cool. Fact.
Not in the flyover states that actually use trucks for what they were intended for
No they aren’t.
No, no they’re not
I don’t think this is right, cc: karl_diesel lol
Lol no
Y’all tryin hard
'We surveyed 20 people that lived in LA.'
This is the media equivalent of payola.
This sounds like a falsehood to me. Why are you promulgating falsehoods?
no. no they're not.
That’s an out right lie, I call BS on the governments offspring.
Hahahahaha Said no actual long time truck owner ever!! abc you are pathetic propaganda
Cap 🧢
Just like bud light winning over real Bud Light customers? 😂😂😂
Did Greta write this? 🤡
Yeah…. No they’re not.
*Paid for by George Soros.
My 1997 Toyota T100 has 447k miles on it. The original drive train does not leak, does not smoke, and is occasionally used to pull stumps. Recharge takes less than five minutes, and there are recharging stations in every little town. It's ugly, but I am long past caring.
Liars
fakenews
Those look like 💩
I doubt it.
That’s blatantly false.
Bitch, where?
Yaaa NO
You want to know why is called fake news
Stop your lying
This propaganda ....cough cough.... message was paid for by the Biden Administration, The Big Three, The DNC, and suppliers of EV batteries. Nothing to see here folks, move along. Move along.
no, no they are not
Not in this household.
More straight up bullshit from the “news.”
😳😆😭
Nonsense.
Ridiculous claim
Ok sure 🤣🤣🤣
BS. Not anyone that actually uses a truck.
Factually untrue
Not happening
Why lie?
Um... No
What are you smoking?
Let me guess. You polled one electric truck owner?
That’s a $80k+ truck you show there. No one in middle or lower income America is buying those.
Not propaganda.
I don’t know anyone who is looking to buy an electric pickup
Bull chit.....just more fake news
Bull chit.....just more fake news
LMAO! No, they're not. Especially THAT brand.
No they’re not good lord.
Not. 🫤
BS!
False
Oh? Ok
Good one
This is not true. First time owners maybe. People with ice pickups are not trading in for electric at scale.
B 💩
no they are not LOL
Propaganda in full affect
Lol, sure……
Hahahahahah
Funny, while driving to the gym today in my 3/4 ton Silverado, I passed a Rivian sitting on the shoulder with its hazards on. No thanks.
How many?
Misinformation
You crackhead.
No. Not even remotely.
LOL you people. No they arent. Not for working people. Bless your heart.
No, they’re not 😂
Traditional truck owners? Yeah..no they're not.
How long does the battery last when towing 10,000 lbs?
Lol. No.
Maybe city people who want to drive a 'truck'
Oh how wrong you are.
Always read the opposite 🤷🏻🤡💩🤦🏻
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I thought this was TheBabylonBee at first.
I wonder why nobody trusts the media? 🤔
Sure
Yeah until they start fitting actual diffs they're not convincing anyone, especially anyone who has a trailer/float tow.
...No.
😂Naw!
State sponsored media?
At least unlike electric cars which need to pull a generator on a trailer, a generator fits in the truck bed.
No. No they're not. Pravda news strikes again
No they aren’t.
No, they’re not! 😂😂😂
Don’t believe you!
🐴💩
By “traditional” truck owners they mean people who live in cities and don’t actually use their trucks for things trucks are built for
🤣🤣🤣...uh no
Narrator: No, no they weren’t.
😂🤣 yeah like those electric f-150’s right!? … oh wait…
Lol
Total lies they are junk electric already lost
I’m not backing that into saltwater.
Honda Ridgeline owners are not pickup owners
They are absolutely not. Stop it.
Fake government propaganda. is government control media.
“Electric truck” is an oxymoron
No, no they aren't.
lol no
lies...
Until the buyer figures out there is no national fast charging system so it is essentially useless for traveling outside of the local area.
wishful thinking when they can't tow a heavy load more than 100 miles please talk to someone in the auto industry before expressing your non-engineering wishful thinking
No....
Come down to Texas and tell the 'traditional pickup owners' here that, I dare ya
So let me get this straight: EV trucks accounted for 1/5 of a percent of sales last year, but in 8 years, EV sales will be at least 67 percent. Got it.
Have you seen Rivians stock ?
I live in an area where every driveway has a truck and not a single home has an electric model.
Only she/her owners?
no they definitely aren't
A lot of folks in the comments seem to think hating electric vehicles is a personality trait
Former Subaru truck owners.
LOLz false.
You wish
no.
What don't you lie about?
Nope
Come to Colorado and ask that, all lies!
LMFAO no. Tf 😂
BS!
Lol... LMAO even
Bullshit!
I want one!
Literally they are not
Haha, until you actually try to do 'truck' things....
Could you imagine trying to haul a welding machine around with that.
Lol, no they're not
Wow that’s a lie
The propaganda spout is leaking again
Oh... youre being serious 😆😆
Electric trucks stink. - signed 'traditional' truck owner.
So...where TF did you pull this fantasy from? Signed, somebody that uses a truck daily and around many millions of other truck owners nationwide not interested in EV truck trash. This is propaganda pure and simple. EV trucks are not ready for the big time, they're just EV swag.
Bullshit They don’t have the range They can’t tow shit
No they`re not.
Lol no
all the rednecks(traditional)i know that buy pickup trucks hate and despise electric vehicles due to the long charge times, limited range especially when towing, and also because they aren’t into having to call an IT guy whenever they need to figure something out with the thing.
Hahaha yeah right. We all know the battery on those things take forever to charge, drain sooo quick, and can’t haul sh*t . I’ve seen youtube videos where consumers have tested this stuff. Nice try though!
“This isn’t true at all.” “Lies lies lies” 😂
You need to buy an electric truck! Limited range, especially limited when towing!
Lol sure..
Just like Dylan Mulvaney is winning over beer drinkers?
Catagorically false.
Really cause I saw about 5000 regular trucks and not a single electric one today.
This is a lie.
That’s a lie. You just lied.
lol
That ought to spur outrage from the Bud Light “conservatives”.
Blow $80K+ on your EV, run out of money, and depend on mamaGov later in life!…. Sound like the plan!!
This is straight propaganda
ABC News supports elonmusk
No they aren’t
I doubt it.
Lies lies lies lies!! Let me see the numbers. 💯
Lie
Maybe for people not using them for truck stuff
🙄
LOL, is there any truth left in journalism?
🤣
There’s no way this ugly inefficient thing is going to win over traditional truck drivers. What a bunch of propoganda
ABC = Always Been Corrupt
Where?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
elonmusk I’ll say it again to you… service industry/tradesmen get eaten up by fuel. Don’t miss the opportunity.
No they’re not
Liar
No thanks
What stupid democrat propaganda.
Not even close, no won’t ever happen.
Party provided narrative hand written for abcnews to reprint with zero fact l I’m checking. I never met a pick up truck owner who would be caught dead standing closer than 25 feet from an electric pick up. Stop making shit up.
FALSE... But nice propaganda.
They'll regret buying an electric vehicle m
Nope never not ever.
No they are not
BULLSHIT 😊
😂 what a bunch of BS!
ABC is fake news
I just appreciate that they look different. Vehicle design had plateaued into a relentless sameness for so long I'm thrilled to be refreshed.
The world would be better off with hybrids. At least until the next power source is utilized efficiently. I'm a tree hugger with 40 years of experience in transportation, and the Toyota hydrogen powered car is being tested in India today.
NO They are Not .! .!
That's a lie.
And that’s a lie lol
Why do EV cars look weird?
I live in Austin, Texas I have seen quite a few. Also Tesla.
so not true
So-called 'electric' trucks, actually powered by coal/natural gas/nuke, don't have a long enough range, especially when a load is involved.
The democrat media and their propaganda is sickening. We won't buy your useless vehicles
What’s the true cost of producing an EV, and when is the environmental break even point? It’s actually almost 7 years, isn’t it? Tell the truth.
Okay. Meanwhile the issues: 1. Bola Tinubu's 1993 Narcotics Trafficking & Money Laundering Case, n $460,000 Forfeiture 2. 25% in FCT 3. Forged Certificate 4. INEC not following its guidelines 5. Shettima's Double Nomination 6. Election Rigging 7. Dual citizenship
Horseshit.
I live in one of the most 'green' friendly states and I can tell you this article is 100% false.
No, they are not. Stop lying.
This is outright propaganda. These are ‘leisure trucks’ incapable of what ‘work trucks’ do. What kind of traditional pickup owner are you talking to?
They they don’t do real work for a living with a truck. lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Not true.
They can afford them
Except they're not. This is a lot of BS.
This should comment section should be good
No they’re not 😂
No they aren’t
they are?
Lol..
Anyone who buys a truck is harming the environment. You should have to prove that you need it for work before buying one.
BULLSHIT!
That is a lie

The takings clause makes that really hard, especially in rich liberal communities like Boulder (see the light rail mess there). Oh well, mining third world countries it is! drewmagary There needs to be investment into more charging station infrastructure for any of this to make sense.
