If you are from Texas...Cybertruck can power a house

This isn't a power the house question - "but"

I just did some work with a 2006 Dodge diesel pickup and goose neck flatbed. Due to the off road and back road nature of the work "miles" are not the same as highway.

A machine was moved to the location and back after the work. 2 loads.
10 loads of 8 tons +/- each of bales were moved in 2 mornings. GCW would be about 30,500lbs each trip. Don't panic this truck has done this kind of work for years.

In about 12 hours of hauling totalling 280 miles the truck used 60 USgals of diesel.

Let's say a BE "1 ton" 4x4 existed to compare, one with 300 ish hp like the Dodge.

Could it do this work in two 6 hour days, with an overnight charge - 12 trips at 30,500lbs.

I'm not sure how to convert 5 gals per hour of diesel fuel used into kwhr of BEV range...

No idea. But there are people on this board much smarter than me that I know can figure it out. I’m just an EV driver.

Currently I don’t know any company that builds EV’s even considering building anything like a pickup that could do that. There are at least 5 companies with EV trucks in either pre-production or concept status but they are all half tons. My guess is it will be a few years before we see anyone working on something like a diesel dually. My wife has a reservation for a cybertruck but the towing capacity is no where near even half that. I think it’s 12500 pounds but not sure. Your truck is a brute. That’s a whack load of weight.

Jmho.
