Could it be because of the weight? I was told EVs weigh a lot more than a standard vehicle of the same size due to the batteries. It’s part of why they are expensive to register cause the state charges by weight of the vehicle.

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

Here's something that a standard ICE powered car can't do, at least not for very long:

Same truck tows them all.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

My biggest problem with the EV"s is how quiet they are. I walk 4-5 miles every morning and with no sidewalks I'm on the edge of the road.  Those ev's sneak up on me and the dog and we both jump about 3" in the air when they whose past from behind us. LOL

I have to have quite a few vehicles towed that park in temporary construction no parking zones. Haven't had any tow truck drivers complain or treat EVs and different.

I had the key fob die on our backup diesel a few months back, that is as a huge headache and that is as just to try and get around the stupid ignition shutoff.
