It's also my snowplow vehicle that can clear my half-mile gravel driveway on a wooded hill in Upstate NY. It spends most of the winter with heavy chains on the rear wheels.

How many feet of snow will a fully-charged "lectric" truck be able to plow before dying?

You may have invented a new EV term: "plow feet".

LOL -- There's at least one snowfall each winter that drops >2ft of snow on my driveway, often a few. Clearing 2 feet of snow, 10 feet wide minimum, for just shy of a half-mile, is roughly 50,000 cubic feet of snow to move. Don't forget, this is in thick hilly woods, there's no way to carry electricity to a discharged vehicle half-way down the slope. You CAN carry a gas can.

All-electric snow-plow pickup? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
