So who will be first with an electric pickup. And when.

I'm suprised that none of the big 3 have come up with a hybrid 1/2 or 3/4 ton. with start stop technology, and a (1)motor/ battery pack big enough to capture at least the energy from a 45mph stop. And (2) an option to capture the energy from a 1 mile 6 percent downhill run with say 7500 lbs in tow.

even start stop + option (1) would give a 3/4 ton diesel much improved in town mileage and (2) would help even on level road with slight uphill/downhill or coming to a stop, and be a definete help on hills.
