But farms already have many vehicles for different purposes. If almost all of them could be electric that’s progress.

  They do, but they usually only have 1 truck which is what we're talking about.

    > they usually only have 1 truck Not even remotely my experience with farms. Maybe you’re only visiting lifestyle farms and dude ranches or something.

      Probably a regional difference but I grew up in rural North GA and the farmers that I lived near had tons of farming equipment like a tractor with a shitload of attachments (usually pretty old), a worktruck used for hauling, a fourwheeler or sidebyside for getting around on the farm, and a bunch of other odds and ends. They might have another truck that's really old that's for a project, but I'm imagining one of these guys buying a Ford lightning and I don't see it. Yeah, they usually are just hauling their goods up their dirt road to a stand on the side of a road, but they do occasionally make a long trip to sell some cows, pigs, or horses and I don't think they want to deal with midtrip charging. I'm not sure what kind of farmer you imagine this is called, but these guys are just called farmers in my neck of the woods.

    From what data source do you gather this? As a child my friend loved on a ranch. Multiple trucks and Jeeps. Where I live now there's a lot of farm and ranch land near the city. Drive by any and you'll see multiple trucks. Anecdotally, I'm highly suspicious of your data.
