Legacy AUTO companies have to catch up or spend a lot to develop
electric technology or be left in the fumes of the past....
Rivian truck in rough calculations will go 400 miles on a charge and
charging at home @ $0.06 KwHr and gets 2miles per kw so..
200KW x $0.06 KwHr or $ 12.00 per 400 miles.
Gasoline @ $2.50 Gal and get 25 mpg 400/25= 16 gal x $2.50=$ 40.00..
Even at $0.12 electric $24.00 still $16.00 less.... Per day of full use...

Who the hell comes up with the styling for these things? All it needs is a big Tonka or Ertl across the grill. Like the old saying "lots of good p**sy was passed up on looks" Interesting technology but not in my near future.

Starts at $59,000. You can buy a lot of gas for the price difference in a standard truck.
Range 400 miles on top battery in 70* weather...
So about 275 in below 0* weather....
Even with the coal about the same mileage with 2 tons....
Gotta consider the regenerative braking ....
My Bolt EV loses about 30% in below 0* weather...
About 166 miles with the lose no big deal...

Sorry BB but as of now you can keep your electric vehicles especially trucks, I left Ohio with full fuel tanks (66,5 gals of diesel) we drove East on 80 pulling our 38' fifth wheel( 23,000 LBS gross) stayed overnight in communist NJ and headed East through communist NY state and needed to refuel in somewhere in Connecticut (around 600 miles) I'll take my oil burning truck any day over anything as of right now, lots of power ( lots more of that to come once my warranty is gone ) plus I could have done that in under 10 HRS so If I was in an electric powered truck how long would it have taken me(HRS or days) to get to Connecticut?
I do agree that electric is fine for some vehicles under some circumstances but not all circumstances, People need to stop with their narrow minds and look at the big picture, battery manufacture( as of
right now ) is not all that good for the environment and I don't care what any leftwing tree hugging nut job says about it!!!
I do appreciate the thinking out side the box thats how we move forward but we are along way off from being completely off of fossil fuels!!!
I want you( BB ) to tell me what price you are (yes you and not someone else ) willing to pay for your renewable energy????

Barney; this is the math that drives me nuts. All the EV cheerleader sites assume magical 100% power transfer from the charger to the battery. Surely this cannot be. Looking around online I see that this is not lost on some Tesla drivers as they discuss it in their forums. Numbers are all over the map but it looks like you get battery storage of about 80 to 90 percent of the electricity you put in. Assuming these numbers are correct or at least close you would use about 225KW to put 200KW into a battery.Rivian truck in rough calculations will go 400 miles on a charge and
charging at home @ $0.06 KwHr and gets 2miles per kw so..
200KW x $0.06 KwHr or $ 12.00 per 400 miles.
Gasoline @ $2.50 Gal and get 25 mpg 400/25= 16 gal x $2.50=$ 40.00..
Even at $0.12 electric $24.00 still $16.00 less.... Per day of full use...

My electricity costs me $0.064 per KW, another $0.043 per KW distribution charge and $17.47 for the privilege of being a customer of my utility. Looking at some past bills I am paying $0.15 per KW of electricity at point of use.
For me it is more realistic t figure 225 x $0.15 = $33.75
This is not enough to make the EV more costly to operate per mile but you can’t totally ignore it either.

OK, remember the stoners GM fired for coming up with that abortion known as the Chevy Aztek? Well it looks like they found a new employer.

It looks like the trunk on my little Ford Focus is larger than the box on this vehicle they refer to as a truck.
Wonder if you could squeeze in eight bags of groceries standing up or four bags laying down.

Well Paulie, at least yours has a trunk lid in case it rains your groceries will stay dry.
I guess they didn't learn from the poor sales of uselessly small bed "sport trucks" ?
It would help if it were actually a truck that can be used for work instead of something designed for Yuppies for thier weekend backyard chore trips to Lowes.
Who wants to only be able to move two bails of hay, or only be able to carry half sheets of plywood, at a time ?
