This is more sensible than many cars. The article mentions that
charging is a problem. For cars, I use mine for some long distance trip
so yes, it is a problem when you want to do 1200 miles in a day and a
half.

Many trucks though, are used for work in a smaller range and are back at
the shop or home at night so you can just plug it in.

Funny to see the hood open and a bunch of stuff stored in there.

I'm not a fan of electrics but I really can't see it in a truck. The
batteries subtract from the payload and towing capability.

Four thousand pounds in the back, four hundred in the frunk
and a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. Suits the vast majority
of truck users just fine.
