    I was watching an English Reviewer trying different loads on a Motorway at 70 mph. He lost (Approx) 7% of his SUV's range simply by putting ski racks and a pair of Snow Skis on it. That was actually about the same as he lost putting 4 other passengers in it. Aerodynamics is really important to EV's. He scaled it up, and a Caravan ended up taking about 60% of it's range.

The Silverado has a 200+kwh pack and has been shown to tow a 6’ high 8’ wide 25’ long trailer loaded over three tons to go 220 miles on the freeway which doubles ford and is equivalent or outperforms the 3.5 ecoboost with the standard 23 gallon tank.

      Agreed!
      I sub to this channel because he covers ALL aspects of something and is honest about actual ownership.
      His review was honest and affirmed all the information I had already attained via independent research. EV's have poop range for towing. (Don't tell me I'm going to go 20mph under the speed limit while towing, it's not going to happen.)
      Infowars guy was CLEARLY an idiot, not knowing what he was talking about or clearly lying.
      I have 3 cars. I may replace my Focus RS with an EV. I may replace my SUV with a hybrid, but I probably won't replace my truck ever with an EV... This doesn't mean I'm against them, but just like was stated in the video, the cons are too far negative for the jobs I'm demanding of the vehicle.
      AND 1 thing not stated ever in EV reviews is you absolutely need a lvl 2 charger installed at your home location if you plan to drive an EV daily. That's an additional ~$1000 cost...

      You do a great job on your channel. Now, let's get dwn to the real topic both seen & hidden. This video was a TOTAL CYA deal. Trying to undo the massive bad PR damage that Jones created from thin air, using selected facts, ( as do ALL MAIN STREAM MEDIA outlets, daily, to lie to viewers). So now Hoov has to try to do a wrap of car review video so as to try to appease the Ford pple from totally ruining his present and future relationship with the largest truck manufacturer on US soil. It's rather comical to see how a guy that nobody including Hoov likes (Jones) when he 8s doing EXACTLY what MSM does daily to viewers by lying & twisting facts to suit there narrative. Like when WhiteHouse press secretary JKP lied 9 ways from Sunday about how Joe's gaffe of a tragic death of a woman in congress a month previous, was met by Our President asking where she is in the crowd during his speech. That part was not funny. What was funny was the circular loop of lies the WhiteHouse told to try to defend Joe Bidens inability to remember when pple died & how they can no longer be present for his press brief or speeches.
      Anyway, Hoov had to try to smooth this all over to avoid a future relationship with Ford, & although Ford Executives would never act mad about this PR nightmare, even Hoov had to ADMIT he uses clicking titles to lure in viewers & subs. So this whole thing was a TOTAL Public relations disaster for Hoov, Ford, & CLIMATE Change/Global Warming activist. & Hoov doing everything possible to distance himself from his own content by pointing out small nuggets of misrepresented info from his vid to Jones show. When we see the exact same things DAILY from our own Main Stream Media & WhiteHouse, & are just supposed to accept it as fact, when they present lies & twisted dialog as real reporting. So, in closing, for once, maybe...just maybe... the Liberal Left got a dose of there own medicine. Clearly this scared Hoov. Not cuz he did anything wrong. But because Liberal public relations was given to them what they believe they give to the STUPID AMERICAN PPLE every day. & now nobody likes it. & this could cost pple something do to the damage believed to be done to everyone involved.
      Welcome Liberal Pple, to the world of 74 million voters. Now ya get to understand how they feel when you lie to them daily on TV, youtube, & the internet in general.
      Nice review BTW, Hoov. Especially pointing out the seat materials on the Ford EV F150. Man, this really scared ya, looking forward into your own future. Well... lesson learned son. U want clicks, so ya use titles to get um. & now no free trucks for you anymore from Ford. Unless your awesome review in this video got you off the hook.. Don't worry. Americans have short memories. & politicians know this. Just gotta deny deny deny, till the next distraction comes along. Just think if TH-cam shut off your channel like they have thousands of others who accidentally did exactly what you did..?? Got the wrong pple upset at you. Those CLIMATE pple & Others will crush guys like yourself if you hadn't done all the hiding & fainting to try so hard to show how bad you act like you feel. Hopefully U appeased everyone and u get to keep the revenue from all those great clicks & new subs you got out if it. Cuz really, you win big time on this deal.. Nice Job... especially since it Clearly wasn't your intention.. 😆

      No, it doesn't, because he threw a fit because two groups he didn't like pointed out the catastrophic consequences of the coming EV only law. They were 100 percent right that this would hurt people, but Hoovie cries and calls it "political." Yeah, when you have a law outlawing something that is going to hurt people, it's going to be "political." But screw all the people who actually work for a living--rich Hoovie has lefty friends who won't like that he has exposed a major evil in a lefty law, so he has to cry.

      You already have that right; the thing is that your rights must be exercised. You and many other people subscribe to the idea that others will exercise your rights for you, but the reality is that you must assert your rights and stick by them. If you want to know what your rights are, look at what the enemy is labeling as "sovereign citizen" and mocking - they're pushing that propaganda to keep you a slave to them.
      For example, each state DMV is operating a massive fraud, because federal statutes define MOTOR VEHICLES as "a carriage...used for commercial purposes" in 18 U.S. Code § 31 (6). And yes, this applies in EVERY STATE because each state is subject to the supremacy clause of the Constitution for the United States...so it doesn't matter how states define "MOTOR VEHICLE" if it is in conflict with the federal statute, which requires "commercial use" to be a requirement.
      The other big scam is tricking you into believing that your car or truck is "equipment", thus subject to registration. Equipment is something used for commercial purposes. For most people, who just use their cars/trucks for traveling in private (i.e. you are not being paid to transport goods or passengers), they are CONSUMER GOODS (durable goods) which are not subject to registration. See UCC § 9-102 (23).

That is, he said he couldn’t do 120 miles which seems to roughly align with TFL trucks. Some people just can’t handle any suggestion that EVs aren’t everything to everyone every time yet. The fact remains that you can’t tow any useable distance for many people.

      I'm very sure that a Lightning EV can haul heavy trash to the local dump with NO PROBLEM.

Emphasis on the high speed (75+ mph) and longer distance. In a few years, the Lightning EV will probably cost less and have a higher-capacity battery option.
