For electric pickups, I'm sure we'll see range extenders packs that you carry around in your truck bed.
They could even implement what that Israeli EV startup wanted to do, quick charge by physically swapping the pack.
If enough contractors use electric pickups, I could see a contractor supply shop also renting these range extender packs and swapping them for charged packs. A construction supply shop is a good place to do this, as it already has storage, loading bays, weight carrying equipment and people used to heavy loads.

- bluGill 8y agoThis truck has a 2000lbs cargo capactiy. All the contractors I know have close to that in the bed of their truck. Tools are heavy, as are the other building supplies they have. For a contractor doing repairs your value is the fact that you have the replacement part on the truck. That means you have bins of sensors, motors, valves and such sitting around because every 3 months you need each and the customer needs it fixed now. For a contractor doing new work there are less materials (that is generally delivered by a different truck), but you still have tools.
