Others may have great success. Just like anything in life, you have to figure out if it will work for you. Do all the logistics and see where it leads. What is the most AGGRESSIVE most ROBUST demand you will put on your vehicle (NOT THE LIGHTEST, DAILY USE) ... and then find out if electric power can handle it, that is, the greatest demand you would EVER need from it, even if that need is for a very short duration. Then you have your answer.
I am late to this thread. But you bring up a good point.
What is the most intense usage required? Many don't ask that question.
They base their decision on normal or every day usage, however when it comes to safety and reliability heavy usage should be the determining factor.
Now heavy usage may not be as important in choosing a hybrid or EV however when choosing a tow vehicle, heavy usage is critical.
Maybe that's why we both have duallies:)
