1) It looks like a plain, regular truck 2) It can go 300 mi on a charge 3) It has a big ol’ tailgating/camping/cookout-ready trunk under its hood 4) If your power’s cut, it can keep your house lit and cooled for 3 days.

The F-150 is a mainstay of the American road, so having an electrified version that does more than the internal-combustion model *and* costs about the same is — as Joe Biden might say — a “big f––ing deal.”pic.twitter.com/o3K0j3RwE6
As for the price: $40K, which becomes $32.5K after factoring in the federal EV tax credit. For residents of states with their own EV tax credits, the cost after incentives could dip below $30K. https://electrek.co/2021/05/19/ford-f-150-lightning-starts-under-40k-w-300-mile-range-and-can-power-your-home/ …pic.twitter.com/YYcNSVUcLK

Holy shit—it can tow 10,000lbs! That’s more than a Mercedes M Class can tow.
Right?!
At the risk of putting the cart before the horse, we need a policy conversation about how to incentivize people to switch.
We do. I think the charging investments in the American Jobs Plan would make up a big part of that, providing reassurance that running out of juice is an incredibly remote possibility. But getting the cost down is its own incentive, and in this instance the price seems great.
