Rocket equation. Batteries still don't match the power density of liquid hydrocarbons, so large, heavy trucks with useful ranges end up with large, expensive batteries. The Rivian R1T has a 135KWh battery for 314 miles of range and starts at $69,000, while the Chevy Bolt has a 66KWh battery for 259 miles of range and starts at $26,595. The R1T has a mighty curb weight of 7,148 lbs, almost three thousand pounds more than the notoriously oversized 2023 Ford F-150.
