Electric Vehicles Are Taking Charge

April 2022

In 2022 a range of manufacturers are introducing EVs for mainstream consumers.

Electric Vehicles Are Taking Charge

F-150 Lightning

Starting MSRP: $39,974

EPA range: 230 miles

Federal tax credit: Up to $7,500

America’s best-selling vehicle goes electric and blows minds. The line for one is long, though. The battle of the truck brands will revive when Chevrolet introduces the Silverado EV in fall 2023. Also, at the higher end of this market, the Rivian R1T is an EV pickup truck worth a look.

There is widespread consen-sus that the future, at least when it comes to what we drive, is electric. Carmakers have been falling all over each other with promised dates by which some or all of their offerings will be electric, or at least electrified in some way. But when is that future for you? Should you buy an electric now? A number of vehicles either for sale or coming to market in 2022 promise to shake things up. They’re neither tiny nor dizzyingly expensive, and they might tip the scales for some to try electric.

THERE'S more to Mairs & Power Growth than its name implies. The managers favor firms with above-average earnings growth.

Look Beyond the Tech Giants

I am hooked on a podcast called Acquired, in which two smart guys do a deep analytical dive, typically lasting three or four hours, on a single successful company such as Coca-Cola or Trader Joe's. Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, a pair of venture capitalists, are especially adept at explaining what's behind the success of such tech giants as Alphabet (symbol GOOGL, $320), the former Google, which recently merited 11 hours and 42 minutes of dialogue all by itself.

How to Pay for Long-Term Care

A couple of months ago, I wrote that many Americans significantly underestimate how long they could live in retirement (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec.). With the possibility of a 30-year retirement becoming more common, retirees need to plan for so-called longevity risk to make sure their assets last a lifetime. And the longer you live, the more likely you'll need to pay for some form of long-term care. That can range from assistance with activities of daily living to in-home care to a nursing home stay.
