???? What good's a pickup if you can't haul anything in the bed. Truck Camper owners ?? Not for U, for sure. https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/7/20953718/gm-chevy-c-10-e-10-electric-pickup-sema-2...

Towing 3 tons of trailer, or more, at 65 mph for 250 to 300 miles before a recharge is needed? This is an RV forum. If it can't do that under common towing conditions, then for us it can't do that.
If you are expecting 15 minutes recharge cycle from a nearly fully drawn or drained battery, then this is not for you.
There is nothing yet except speculation of a claim of 500 mile range. Again, it's not yet independently tested under towing conditions nor to verify the range under actual driving conditions.
My own benchmark as I want a Tesla pick up mainly for my RV towing, is a range of 300 miles.
I usually take my lunch coinciding with my gas up which takes me about 45 to 1 hour, then that's much I tolerate for the recharging. My other wish list is that campsites will have superchargers.
I don’t think I would need 300 miles if towing range as we would never travel that far without a substantial break. Maybe 400 kilometers max would work.
The truck will almost certainly have something like a 19 kw internal or dual 10 kw chargers so I don’t think DC fast charging would be required at a campground. A 100 amp service on site and a 14.4 kW EVSE would probably serve most peoples needs. Something like a clipper creek 60 amp unit on the campground post would be a good compromise. The campground could contract it out to a company like ChargePoint and have a profit sharing agreement.
