P.s. One of the things I've been
One of the biggest problems that EV trucks have is the drastically reduced
range when towing. Using enourmous battery packs is an expensive solution to
this occasional problem.
I really think Chevy should bring back their Voltec system for use in small
SUVs/pickups to make long distance
Ford F-150.
Others, too, I think, but I’m not sure who. But since the Ford is the
top-selling...
I expect there will also be some fuel cell pickups from Toyota (I’ve
seen/touched a demo), and I would expect Honda, too.
Should be plenty of EV choices in not-too-long!

I think this may be one of the cases where conversation might work. Find a
totaled Tesla S and do a transplant. My Jet 750 worked well and basically it
was a conversation. Otherwise a Cybertruck is looking good. The cheapest would
meet your needs. Lawrence Rhodes

F150 is a big inefficient truck , not for me. I’ve had Rangers since the early
80s 30mpg so would make a more efficient EV (not the new big Ranger)

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,
Would a low-speed (NEV) work for you if it met payload and tow requirements?

Hi Folks,
Ive heard of the bloated/pricy Cyber Truck and Rivian but does *anyone*

or Toyota? My 99 Ford Ranger (4-cyl 5-spd) is probably not going to last
