Don’t underestimate the hand of UAW. They don’t want legacy to make EV’s in any flavor.

I gave a deposit to Ford because they pledged to start with the “working class” model. Years later they flip flopped and released the high end models first, and I bought a used Tesla with FSD its a spaceship

Fleet owners are smart, EVs lower cost of ownership translates into better profits. Fleets are non-partisan, business comes first. Legacy automakers have not figured out how to lower production costs, and dealer markups are a plague on buyers. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is moving to electrification of transportation and away from obsolete ICE and oil dependencies.

The Maverick is selling like mad and if they had an all EV model with good range that would sell too. Big demand for the Slate Truck.
Normal people don’t want a $70K Cosplay truck with 15 mpg.
Chevrolet’s electric vehicle Ultium platform could easily be used for a normal pickup for the people.

I think GM is starting to show a EV truck is closing into price ranges that make more sense. Also GM is solving range with energy, that’s how you do it with a has or diesel too. Once they start trying them they will realize the base rule you loss 50% of range applies to all power types (gas, diesel and electric)

Most pickups are ego toys that never see dirt. Real work trucks are capital purchases, decisions made carefully by business owners trying to scratch out a living. Equipment is non-partisan. Just please make affordable, reliable pickups to help US small businesses. EVs should be cheaper (30% fewer parts than ICE), and cost less to operate.

The folks who buy EVs don’t like pickups and the folks who buy pickups don’t like EVs. Who was the idiot who thought it was a good idea to make EV pickups?
