I understand your point and you may be right.
Many pickups are used commercially on construction job sites and in Texas in the oil fields to just get around and haul light loads. I don’t mean the Mules or heavy duty golf carts, I mean pickups in the conventional sense. Electrics will have a place.
You think of the past or the present whereas I am looking at the future. There is going to be disruption as prices come down and ownership costs are actually considered.
And I understand what you are saying as well. With government incentives it is possible that electric vehicles will play a larger role than if the free market were allowed to pick winners and losers. The future that you foresee is completely dependent on limited supplies of foreign resources that the USA has very limited control over.
