IMO EVs are generally a bad idea. In some uses, an EV is not as bad an idea (urban commuting) than in others but EV trucks don’t make sense to me at all. An fully-changed EV truck can handle a huge load because of the massive torque the electric engine produces but the massive energy draw will so quickly deplete the battery that the truck is not feasible for moderate or long hauls. Kind of kills the utility of a work truck when one its primary purposes is so compromised.

I'm sure the suburban owners who have pickup trucks without a scratch in the bed won't care.
