I just don't get why someone would want an EV truck.

Besides, even if you use it mainly as a car with every now and then truck chores, why get an EV that charges at only 250kW when others charge at 350kW?

However, if you get the 3-motor version it claims to have a 500 mile range (obviously if not loaded with cargo). But if it has a 250kWh battery, at 250kW coming in it'd take at least 48 minutes to charge it to 80%.

And that assumes the buyer is in a situation where an EV is good for them anyway.

To: Tell It Right

At current prices I pay approx $85 to fill my F250. I typically tow around 6k lbs and get 9-11mpg in town. Most days I travel 6-20 miles per trip so I figure the CT will save me a bit in fuel. I can probably top off the battery at home so no going to the SuperCharger station. Now I just have to wait till they get to around No # 1.3 million to get mine.

“I just don’t get why someone would want an EV truck.”

It’s jewelry, bling. A status symbol. A hefty virtue signal. Nothing more.
