There are a lot of Chevy S-10 conversions floating around (most
originally Lead Acid batteries, some converted to LiIon) if you are
willing to buy a used conversion.

I agree that seems to describe the Rivian, but the Cybertruck seems pretty
cheap for what you get. The cheap version is only a couple thousand more than
a base model F-250 and the mid priced cyber truck is similar in price to an
F-250 with similar features (all wheel drive, towing and cargo capacity)
Except for NEVs and Chinese vaporware, I haven't seen anyone announce an EV
pickup with a lower price than the Cybertruck, although several of them are
projected to cost 2-3x as much.
You'll probably have to DIY to get something cheaper. Perhaps pickup a wrecked
Chevy Bolt for parts and transplant them onto a 1980's Toyota pickup, etc.
I've been thinking of doing something like that with an old 4runner I have.

Hi Folks,
Ive heard of the bloated/pricy Cyber Truck and Rivian but does *anyone*
plan to make a small EV truck, like a old 4-cyl size Ford Ranger, Chevy S10
or Toyota? My 99 Ford Ranger (4-cyl 5-spd) is probably not going to last
much longer & need a ½ tom payload, about 2K lbs towing capacity (tow my
1600 lb alum boat+trailer)
Have a renewable energy day,
