easily available charging stations
The power for those charging stations has to come from somewhere. I just don't see where they are building the capacity for all that extra usage?

I don't really care. I would be fine with an electric pickup as long as it had 400+ mile range and five minute recharge time

We use all wood for heat. The electric heat hardly ever comes on.

But of course the wood comes from the fuel needed to cut and haul it. In 2018 I bought a semi-load of logs delivered by a nice KW with a self loader. Then there was the chainsaw gas and a bit of pickup gas to haul the cut blocks 1/4 mile over to the house. I do split it all by hand.

At this point, I'm not going to be cutting firewood with an axe and a handsaw unless we live in an 8' x 10' hut.
