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.

I may have to eat crow. There does appear to be a big aerodynamic penalty for a square front end. The basic F150 Lighting with a listed range of 240 miles has a 98KWH battery..
