I liked the “range up to 300 miles” part. Yeah, like under optimal conditions, which never happen. In the winter figure at least a 20% reduction in range right off the bat. In reality you’re looking at maybe 250 miles then get ready to set on your ass for 40 minutes at a “fast” charger so you can go another 250 miles.

I’ve got a RAM 1500 with the 5.7 motor that will get me over 400 miles on a tank AND takes 2 minutes and 53 seconds to put in exactly 22 gallons of gas and off I go. Build an electric truck that will do that at a competitive price and I might take a look otherwise they’re just an expensive virtue signaling novelty.

I have a couple of vehicles all of which take less than 5 minutes from getting out of the car at the pumps to driving away with a full tank.
