John, if you want an electric pickup all you have to do is write a check for 52 grand and buy it.
With 460 HP it has more power than any diesel or gas pickup on the market. First is already done. :H Just buy the thing.
Good morning.
Although it looks like it would be pretty functional for a contracter hybrids are not our thing and woukdn’t suit us very well. When the do come out with a 1/2 ton EV we might consider it depending on what we do in our next EV phase. We are all over the map. Small tear drop or Aliner we can pull behind a sedan or maybe a 21 foot Bigfoot more suited to a half ton. Or small class B EV. Whatever it is it will have to be supported by good charge infrastructure. Time will tell. It will be fun seeing who gets there first.
Until then we’ll stay with the big diesel pusher for snowbirding in the USA but that will be over in about 5 years when we retire at 60. So the manufacturers have a little time to invent their solution for us. :)
