I feel like the F-150 Lightning not beating the wankpanzer out of the gate has more to do with ford production bottlenecks more than actual popularity.
And people who wants big truck also don't care about ev's. It doesn't even make big noise and smoke.
I get the sentiment, but the braindead coal rollers are a pretty small minority. I don't doubt there's a demand for ev trucks, in fact the increased torque is pretty appealing, but one of the common concerns I've read is how towing anything substantial kills their range. This evaluation showed all trucks tested attaining less than half their non-towing range. Probably still enough for folks towing to the next town over and back, but it'd give me pause if I was hauling equipment to a worksite an hour or so away.
for me, I wish there were a reasonable sized, 2 door EV pickup with an 8' bed. I don't want an SUV with a tiny bed but it seems that even in ICE vehicles, they only want to make gigantic 4 doors with small beds. You can find actual pickups but they're kind of rare.
Yeah, I'm with you. I tend to agree with the idea that fuel economy and emissions regulations incentivize auto makers to manufacture the ridiculously huge trucks we have today. I'm super curious to see if smaller body styles become a thing again once this incentive starts to evaporate.
