Ford seems to be the only one to get the electric truck thing right. It looks normal, it has great features, and they are already selling it.
Yeah but its useless when used as a truck. Hook up a trailer and the range plummets so bad it'll barely make it to the next charging station
Maybe but there is hundreds and thousands of pickup truck owners that never pull a trailer, or carry anything for that matter.
Yes and it'll probably be fine but they also take a serious range hit in cold temps too. A lot of people are buying them and not knowing all the faults they have, to this day a lot of EV buyers replace them with gassers. Lets not forget the largest elephant in the room - charging up in some sketchy area at night time
They for sure aren't for everyone, myself included. But I can see a market for electric pickup trucks and delivery vehicles. We have 5 delivery vehicles at my work that run every day. 3 of them could easily be electric. They return to the same spot every night, they run on average less than 200 miles a day usually way less, and when they carry a heavy load it is for short distances. Taking maintenance down to tires and electric cords would save us a lot of money. There is thousands of fleets like this that could go EV and have it make sense. Leaving more gas for the rest of us!
