They gotta stop with this pure EV truck nonsense.  It makes sense for passenger cars, but not trucks.

Just give us a PHEV
With 80km of range, and a gas range extender.

100% this.  Ram had a chance to be the first to offer that but decided to just copy Ford/GM/Tesla/etc.  I wonder with Toyotas expansion of the Prime range if it’ll make its way into their truck lineup.  Would love a tundra with a NA 3.5L V6 plus 300hp dual electric motors.

Base unit will be $100K USD. 

Since America is all about branding I can see Stellantis coming up with something like this.

They just announced they are going to be building electric airplanes.  No, I'm not kidding.

But you’ll only spend $7 to get to your cottage! Think of how you ever lived without an electric pickup!!

It is the amount of money these EV's trucks cost, it's the price of cheap flat. $80,000-110+ is foolish really IMO. remeber these were suppose to be work trucks not luxury barges, which appear to have happen. I wonder how bad the carbon is, compared to a regular ICE truck on these EV's pickups.

these truck are just for the CEO of some construction company,  they will never do any work beside go check on the guys in the field and bring pizza.   It's a novelty vehicle just like a Tesla Suv or the F150 lightning.

I do see quite a bit of electric F150 and mustang here in Calgary.

Yeah, if you don't haul anything to said cottage, and its not cold....oh, and if said cottage has a charger so you can get home. Sounds great.....  This ev thing is great for a DD beater to get back and forth to work, but leave the trucks out of it. I'm not stopping every hour and change to charge because I'm trying to haul our 8000lb trailer down the highway.

Well that's just the problem.  Our Federal government and the wokers that support it don't see the need or want you to be hauling a trailer or god forbid a boat.  Honestly, why would you need to produce so much carbon   Whatever the purpose, it's just plain unnecessary and I think you know that.

Rather, your peers expect you to travel in your Korean made EV shoe box from your high density housing complex to Starbucks and then maybe a quick stop at a fenced in dog park for miniature dogs and then back to your high density housing complex with collective EV charging from a NG plant.

No dash. Interesting
with the F150 and the Silverado EV pricing announced they cannot price is much higher if they want to sell a a lot of these

Still think my V8 truck hauling a trailer makes less carbon than these government twats that take a whole ass jet to something that can be taken care of by a zoom call. Also Korean ev....

Having owned an EV for 3+ years now (Given its first gen with no heat pumps and limited range batteries), I still think EV tech today cannot replace work trucks or even certain passenger applications like a minivan. Maybe in 5 years but not today.
That said EV tech today can still replace 50% of passenger vehicles we see on the road today.

For sure. Even a lot of work trucks don't haul much of consequence 90% of the time

Still think the plug in hybrid concept would have a good fit for trucks

Why would they?! 80% of the population doesn’t tow - not necessary…

ICE trucks will continue to exist, only downfall will be gas @$5/L - and that will bring the end of the truck era to everyone that thinks they need one but all they really need is a Prius

That’s not crazy…a F-150 XL Supercrew with basically 4x4 is now $54k!! That’s the entry point…incentives are gone with the wind…!

A well equipped Lariat, like I had and paid $55k for it, is now $76k…

Inflation is making 1/2 tons very expensive and only the folks that can $$$ are able to buy new now…

It’s possible things will change but as it is today - $80k to $110k for an EV truck is a bargain given where ICE prices have climbed to…

So, why do you have a Lightning, then?  Seems to me that a Mach E (which makes sense as an EV) would fill all your needs.  Not sure why you need a big honking truck if you're not doing any towing or hauling (which is what trucks are for!)

I still need a truck to haul 1/4 down, dirt, rocks, bikes, 4x8s, drywall, helping friends move...I am not towing but still using the rest of bed with minimum impact to range. So I still love the light utility I get out of my 1/2 ton.

if the Mach E fit a 4x8 sheet (like the Explorer does) I would have for sure considered one.

in the near future though, we will be for sure talking about the utility...but I think a lot of people won't be able to afford their 1/2 ton anymore - which makes the use case for the Maverick brilliant and the reason it exists...! that sweet $30k 4x4 1/2 ton is gone with the wind, if that's all you can pay...you can buy a Maverick now.
