Red Truck, Blue Truck…

This one earns a big gold star.

This one travels really far.

Say! What a lot of EV trucks there are!!!

Wrapping up our three part Taking a Trip discussion. Ben and Brent talk through what it would be like (possibly) to travel 750 miles one way from southeastern Kentucky to Orlando, Florida in an electric vehicle.

Using the published specifications of the base model F 150 Lightning, Ben ** breaks down the theoretical time and cost **it would take to make the trip versus Brent’s actual experience with his Supercharged V6 F 150.

We realize this is not a true comparison because we would have to make the same trip in both vehicles. That being said, even if we are half wrong, we believe this exercise and** the results are eye-opening** to prove the possibilities of EVs in small-town America.

If nothing else, **you can make a drinking game **out of the entire series; take a shot every time Ben says “theoretical“.
