First you are comparing a truck with a car.
Also you never mention why gasoline is expensive, gasoline is expensive due to the government wanting us to go EV everywhere. Gasoline should be less than $2/ga for premium.
I understand why you are proposing EVs, but you don't see you are reducing your quality of life because of their narrative. Instead of being able to enjoy a sports car, now one has to drive a boring EV or compact size car.
Your only reasons are financial. There will be a time when EVs will be expensive to drive. They will tax your panels like they tax property tax. Electricity prices will skyrocket. They aren't going to make your life easier to live. EVs aren't the savior many think it will be, it will be the opposite.

Even comparing an 2.0L Accord that gets 26 mpg saves you about $280 a month for fuel alone. Doesn't quite pay for the car, but pays for about $15,000 of it.

You mean 0-60 in 2 seconds is boring EV (motortrend.com)?

I can easily hide solar panels. Try hiding a refinery.

There is literally nothing "they" can do to EVs that they can't do to gas vehicles. In fact, it's easier to restrict your freedom with gas vehicles by taxing gas or sabotaging a pipeline or refinery.
You remind me of the people who love tiny houses or the nomad types that build a van to live in. The make it sound like it's cute and efficient living, yet they don't want to admit they are downsizing their lives.
It's amazing that you don't agree in the slightest with anyone when it comes to your precious EV criticism. Also it's strange that you haven't questioned why they are trying to shove us into EVs.

Again, you simply want to live cheap. They will not make it cheap once they start taxing by the mile.

Have you never driven a car with a powerful engine? 99% of the fun is the sound and feel of the engine and going to the red limiter.

No you aren't, there's a thing called aerial view and it is continuously taking pictures of your property.

If the grid is down, where are you going to go, nowhere. Because there will be little to travel to, and you are restricted to your radius from your house and/or panels. Also there is talk in taxing people by the mile.
It's amazing that you don't agree in the slightest with anyone when it comes to your precious EV criticism.
Because your criticisms are not factual.
They will not make it cheap once they start taxing by the mile.
If they're taxing it by the mile you're going to be paying for it with your gas car too, on top of gas.

A '67 Camaro SS with a 0.650 lift Isky cam and a Holley double pumper. Fun to take around the block. Fucking stupid to drive to work. Freeway noise was annoying after awhile.

I'll plug it in to the solar panels just like any other day. They don't all require a grid connection to operate sonny. Maybe I'll honk at your trying to hand pump gas at the service station.
