halfbreed works well in a car. Lose too much carrying capacity in a work truck. I also doubt that one could legally carry a camper with a halfbreed.
Electric shock: A new study found that EVs were more expensive to fuel than gas-powered cars at the end of 2022

Oh hell yeah. Electric walks all over everything for torque. The engine just runs a genny.
I think what’s being described is the towing capacity for a hybrid or electric vehicle. What it’s rated for from the manufacturer what it can legally pull.
Different 1Tons from different years (Ford Dodge GMC) have different weight ratings for Towing capacity.
A 1Ton with single drive wheels will have a lower weight rating than one with dual wheels (though they have the same drive train), & they’re all 1Tons.
I’ve never compared 1Ton full electric or hybrid weight ratings against Diesel, etc… because to the best of my knowledge none of the exist yet.
A pick up with a 4cyl will have a different towing capacity rating than one with a v8 or inline six…& they might all be 1/2Tons.
There are variables out the yin yang. Rear gears, stick, automatic, dualies, 4x4 etc. Lots of combos.
A Ram 3500 is a Ram 3500 no matter the drive train.
Is anyone building an electric (fully) or hybrid 1Ton truck for commercial or private usage? Is this all hypothetical?
I know we couldn’t touch the darn things (at least the fully electric) because of the limited range ourselves.
Oh Hell no! Thats what nakes the conversation absurd. Where are our options?
The 3.9 million square kilometres incorporating the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut is the first area in Canada to achieve 100% charging capacity, reported Blacklock’s Reporter.
“The department understands the importance of ensuring there is sufficient public charging infrastructure and is taking steps to understand and address needs, including in northern and remote areas,” the department wrote to the Senate national finance committee.
“There are currently 34 public electric vehicle chargers in the territories to service the seven electric vehicles, representing a ratio of less than one electric vehicle to charger.”
The department didn’t say where the 34 charging stations are located or who is driving electric cars, all seven of them, but in the Canadian Arctic they now have 34 public charging stations for those seven vehicles, according to the Natural Resources Department.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is on a tear. This week he trotted out the b-word — “baloney” — to describe Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s call for tariffs on cheap Chinese-made EVs threatening to flood the Canadian market and demolish domestic manufacturing. In May, the U.S. hiked its tariffs to 100 per cent from 25 per cent, while the EU has set tariffs north of 38 per cent. The Canadian government just wrapped a 30-day consultation on the issue, with a decision expected soon.
Tasha Kheiriddin: On EVs, Trudeau puts politics ahead of national security — National Post
Why is he not just taking a stand, siding with our allies, and safeguarding both Canadian jobs and Canadian sovereignty?
The federal government announced the deal with Volkswagen earlier this year. Ottawa agreed to provide up to $13.2 billion in production subsidies to the company over the next decade.
Worried about foreign workers, Conservatives demand details of $15B Honda EV deal — CBC News
Conservative MPs are pushing Ottawa to release details of its agreement with Honda Canada to build a sprawling electric vehicle operation in southern Ontario — disclosure they say is necessary to ensure Canadians get all the jobs in the multi-billion-dollar project.
Volkswagen battery plant to cost Ottawa over $16B: budget watchdog — CBC News
A new Volkswagen electric battery plant in St. Thomas, Ont., will cost the federal government over $16 billion and construction of the facility will bring with it a small economic benefit, according to an analysis from the parliamentary budget officer (PBO).

So why is Trudeau now using the issue of Chinese EVs to score partisan points? Why is he not just taking a stand, siding with our allies, and safeguarding both Canadian jobs and Canadian sovereignty? Oh wait, it’s Trudeau, & China we’re talking about…
Perhaps one should call Beijing and ask. The relationship between Trudeau and China is so extensive, it would take another column to do it justice, so I’ll just link to this excellent piece by Terry Glavin and let you read about it there.
Terry Glavin: Trudeau's Chinese collaboration has been in broad daylight all along — National Post
It's been his policy since he ran for the Liberal leadership
The news since the beginning of the month is that electric vehicle sales continue to soften, the cost of the global transition to alternate energy will be many trillions (yes, trillions) more than anyone has admitted and the measures implemented thus far, at great expense already, have had little impact on emissions or fossil fuel use, both of which are up in the past decade.
At least in the western world, the “green” movement has basically been a parlour game by “progressive” elites funded at great cost by consumers and taxpayers (who are usually one and the same people.)
Within the past two weeks, auto giant Ford has announced it’s converting a plant in Oakville from making EVs to producing oversized, internal-combustion pickup trucks because there is no market for the EVs and lots of demand for heavy duty trucks.
Quebec’s Lion Electric, which hopes to produce all-electric highway transports and buses, announced it was laying off 300 workers on top of the 220 it had laid off in February and April. Its shares are now in penny stock territory.
Umicore, an EV battery maker, suspended construction of its $2.8-billion plant in eastern Ontario despite $1 billion in subsidies from Ottawa and Queen’s Park.
And Northvolt, which last year announced a possible delay in the construction of its $3-billion plant in Quebec, announced in the last month that it was conducting a “strategic review” of its entire EV operations.
Now that wealthier consumers have purchased their EV toys and status symbols, middle-class buyers are not jumping into the pricier, less-reliable, inconvenient-to-charge EV market in the numbers government planners and environmentalists had predicted.
At a speech in Ottawa this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted the $33 billion his government has spent on EV battery and car plants (along with $19 billion or $20 billion from Ontario and Quebec) was money well spent. It will ensure Canada is at the forefront of the coming EV boom.
The past 14 days have been a tough fortnight for those who, like our federal Liberal government, have a cultish obsession with saving the planet through a transition to “green” energy.

Then along came Janet Yellen, the U.S. treasury secretary. Speaking in Brazil, where she was sure to attract less media coverage, Yellen claimed the energy transition, which the Biden administration fully backs, will cost globally at least $4.1 trillion a year for the next 25 years. Cumulatively, that’s well over $100 trillion.
That’s 3% of worldwide production of all goods and services every year just for the transition to alternate energy. It’s a staggering number and one that is unlikely to be reached.
