Electric truck
We own an all electric and although I think they will be mainstream here within a decade , ( 5 years in Europe) I think the truck market is going to be gas and diesel for a couple decades yet. The physics and energy requirements of towing will keep the gas and diesel manufacturers in business for awhile yet. Now anything under 5000 pounds I would suspect will be mainly electric within a decade. At least 3 European countries will not allow the sale of gas or diesel vehicles by 2025 and I suspect the rest will follow suit. Probably take longer on this side of the pond but it will come. It will be the consumer that ultimately decides but the reality is, once you have driven an electric it is real hard to go back to anything with a tail pipe.
JMHO.
Did you look at the link? It's not all electric. It's a hybrid that can run total electric. It does have a tailpipe if needing a charge while driving. Payload is pretty low but it's a start. I like it because you can also use it for a backup generator for the house or to power stuff in the field.
