I am buying a 2024 RAM 3500. I looked at EV pickup. I want to get where I am going. EV isn't the answer.

The build on today's vehicles is fantastic. My 2018 acts and feels like new. My seed farm needs a 1 ton. It will now have a 1 ton.

6.7 HO Cummins.

In the 18 I have that. @65mph I run 24MPG. I don't know how it does it and I don't care because it does it.

I am grossing around 28,000#. Today in construction zones @60mph I was doing 16MPG.

Hope my 24 will be similar!!

Yes that's impressive! That engine is an absolute unit. I read it has 1075 ft lb torque.

"The vehicles could operate a maximum of only three hours despite the real need being 12 hours. The Vice President of Mack confirmed that with the current technology, considering battery efficiency and their weight, it is not feasible to provide the Department of Sanitation with electric vehicles capable of snow removal – as stated on the website."

What Caused the Dramatic Drop in Lithium Prices?
. Lithium carbonate prices in China plummeted from $84,500 to $18,630 per metric ton, marking a 78% decline.
. The slowdown in electric vehicle expansion plans by manufacturers like General Motors and Honda contributes to the lithium oversupply.
. The global lithium market is not expected to rebalance and return to a deficit until 2028, according to industry forecasts.

I think EV's are great for certain people that live in a city or suburban area, don't need to pull a load and have a regimented daily driving plan. Wake up go to work, get off work, pick the kids up from school, go home and plug in. Makes sense if it floats your boat. I pull a boat 50 plus miles a day, haul lumber and actually work with my truck. EV's won't work for me, never will...

I don't think that they are good for anyone except industry people.
