The option-challenged vehicle offers a choice of two battery sizes for the rear-wheel-drive truck: a 52.7-kWh battery pack targeting 150 miles of range and an 84.3-kWh pack with 240 miles of range.

I don't think the technical details of the battery capacity/range are correct. The standard Nissan Leaf has a 40KWH battery with a range of 150 miles. The longer range model has a 60KWH battery with a range of about 240 miles under ideal conditions..

The difference is probably the vehicle weight.

I respectfully disagree. The pickup shape might cause it to lose range contrasted with a Nissan Leaf.

For example our BEV Hyundai Ioniq 5 has virtually the same EV tech as the Kia EV6. But the EV6 gets better miles/kWh than the Ioniq simply because the Kia is a small sedan shape, while the Ioniq is a crossover/mini SUV shape.

Add to that the possibility that the pickup might have a more powerful motor to carry a load, even if small relative to other pickups, and it might not be expected to have the same range or miles/kWh as a car. Much like a gas pickup doesn't get the same mph as a car.
