There always a solution to a problem. Just not always a good, or even palatable one.
Does it really need a conspiracy theory when it costs $200k?Pricey...but we haven't heard any conspiracy theory stories from 'sturgis' for awhile....
To be fair though, there are existing gas van based RVs that cost around that... I've seen promaster RVs and some Transit base RVs selling at dealers for $180k... Not suggesting that this is reasonable by any means! But the 200k price on a commercial RV build (if it's equivalent to existing ones) isn't too insane...Does it really need a conspiracy theory when it costs $200k?
They are flying off the shelves in China and Europe. I was surprised to learn that Tesla doesn't sell nearly as many as the #1 EV car company:When I fire up YouTube I often see videos questioning our desire for EV vehicles. It seems they aren't flying off the lots yet. Whether it is an RV or a sedan, it doesn't require a conspiracy OR a lack of support. It just requires a much lower price! I would happily give up half the range and double the time it takes to recharge if I could just find something that otherwise meets my needs and was affordable.
I wondered about that, too. Might have meant used.Where are you finding an F150 Hybrid for $20k?
There was a brief time when you could have actually bought one for $20k, if you were willing to be an early adopter and ordered ahead. Good vehicle, actually gets over 40 mpg in the city.There is a Ford Maverick truck hybrid that is in the $20k+ range. It's very well regarded and has a waiting list 2 years out.
I recently became aware of one brand in TX...REGENCY RV ULTRA BROUGHAM MOTOR HOME CLASS B+ - DIESEL RVS..high as he'll nice too but literally a mortgage lol. Check them out build your own and just solar up? 2000 worth of panels or more would cover a lot and then some lolI've been thinking seriously about buying a camper van or RV. I've been a little hesitant though as I wonder just how quickly (or not) electric powered vans and RVs will become common. I don't want to make a major investment and then be stuck with old technology before too many years have gone by. I noticed recently Tesla announced the Tesla Semi. I realize even as electric powered RVs become a thing, it doesn't mean they will be affordable.
What do you think? How soon will electric or hybrid vans/RVs be common? Is the possibility giving any of you pause on a van or RV purchase?
It's not electric.I recently became aware of one brand
