Being 3 miles out in the fields and having battery go dead because you were pulling something would be damned inconvenient
- beatgammit 8y agoI thought the majority of the pickup uses were pretty short range, such as: - farmers driving around their property - construction workers bringing supplies to the work site - landscapers hitting a few customers in the same city Since trucks have a large frame, there should be quite a bit of space for the batteries. I'm thinking that many of the places trucks are used will have electricity available at the destination (construction site, farm, etc), or the total miles per day will be within the range of the vehicle (150 miles is probably more than enough).
- geggam 8y agoThat 150 miles assumes certain things. Like not towing 8,000lb plus loads around in less than ideal traction. Your mileage on a farm can sometimes be several gallons to the mile.
