This was my first time attending at the invite of one of my newest customers who is an electric truck chassis builder, Harbinger Motors. They are building last and middle mile delivery chassis’s. One cool feature they have is full drive by wire steering, the engineers were telling me the challenge of putting road feedback into the system.

Ford, Ram, and Jeep all have ride along areas where they demonstrate different features of the vehicles. The Ford Lightning truck acceleration was pretty darn impressive. Pushed me back in the seat pretty hard.

Since I was working and crawling under vehicles I didn’t really get many pics but to me the most impressive vehicles there was the electric Dodge Charger. I didn’t get to hear the banshee “exhaust”.

Other items of interest was the solar powered Blue Arc mobile charging station.

So vehicles below. The Charger, the Caddy Lyriq, a concept Lincoln, the 2023 Corvette Z06.

Cool Pics!
I think electric cars are definitely here to stay and they should be integrated into the consumer's choice of purchase.
The fact is that the US's power grid is not capable of charging auto batteries _IF_ everyone of us had one. Internal Combustion Engines should not be banned such as is the intent of crazy California and those that follow their crazy leaders.
