Good points. So I wonder why Ford dealers are having a hard time selling EV pickups? Most likely it's still range anxiety, and will be for some time. Now, for a tradesman who never gets more than 50 miles from home, and has a Level 2 home charger, sounds like it's a good investment. That is unless he only wants a basic truck.
