What are the duties for your f250? I have a 4wd, f250 long bed with a 7.3L
diesel and have considered a conversion if it would still haul a trailer load
of hay (about 12,000 lbs) from the field that is only 1/4 mile from the barn.
It would also have to bring 2,000 lbs of feed to the farm which
Do you have a thread on this site for the conversion? Did you DIY?

Frankly, I use my phone to call people. Of course, it is not a smart phone and
all it will do is call people. I thought that was what a phone was for, silly
rabbit!

There will also be a difference based on the load and type of trailer. Am I
hauling round bales of hay, square bales of hay or a tractor? Am I pulling a
flatbed, enclosed, are the wheels under the trailer or exposed? Not all
trailers and loads are equal, so for a manufacturer to rate their
Another thought; Ford, GM and Ram do not rate the mpg of their trucks loaded or
towing. You can go to some YouTube channels and see these trucks put through
the paces and check mileage. I realize that having some idea of the range is
necessary, but we owners are pretty clever. Do any of you
But I never doubted the ability of an EV with 2,000+ pounds of torque towing.
It is the manufacturers that will not rate their vehicles with a comparable
towing weight. Let me go out on a limb and claim that the reason for this is
that towing will greatly impact range. As has been mentioned
Thanks for the info. Right now, I am having troubles with my Bobcat skid steer
(Kubota diesel engine) and depending on the diagnosis, this may be my EV
conversion. A lot of what I saw in your gallery for the F250 will probably be
useful. I should be able to use only one 9" motor to run the
Here at work, we have some evs for moving equipment and boom lifts. I was under
the impression that the slow charge after the 80% level was for deep charging.
We have two trolleys that have been charged in this manner for 6 years on the
same batteries. I wonder if maybe the fact that they are

Nice looking truck, but meeting the demands of commercial operators will
require more than a 4.5 foot bed and 7,500 pounds of towing (that looks more
like a Toyota Tacoma). So what are they doing with those 4,400 ft. lb. of

your case, Geroge, you might look at a Tesla Y. It's about $54K + local

Touche mon ami, it is way too early for fighting over bragging rights, which
IMO belong to Tesla so far. But we need everybody getting on board to bring EVs
to the entire range of customers.

I have been increasingly discouraged with the progress of EVs in the US. For
crying out loud, I can't even get my wife to consider an EV. The atmosphere and
advertisement are abysmal, from both sides. And let's not even mention the lies
and ignorance of the politicians (whoops, there it is). I

And everyone seems to forget the downwash of the blades. These drones will be
unmanned helicopters capable of lifting hundreds of pounds of payload. The lift
required will cause substantial downwash that can be damaging and dangerous. My

But just charging batteries will not fill the need of such a large truck moving
massive loads, unless the mining company has a dozen of them charged up and
ready to cycle the work load throughout the day. I don't see that as an
acceptable solution for the company.
As I have read these posts
I am curious as to the title of the post "towing monster"? I searched several
other articles on line about the C11 and found not one mention of towing
capability. Great looking sedan with some interesting features, but go with
F150 Lightning if towing is your need.

You probably have a security nut. It will require a special tool, but not
knowing the manufacturer of the nut could take some time locating one.
