I'm on both sides of this. Had an EV for nearly 4 years and had to go back to gas for work (construction, moving/having tools, materials and supplies).
I cannot wait for an affordable small ev pickup. Even a not that affordable one. I just can't do $100k for an oversized monster like the Lightning. But give me a $60k Ranger/Frontier style (basically the smallest truck they make these days, without a full SUV on the front) and 500km range and I'm in.
I hate getting gas. I hate it so much.
I heard the Toyota has planned on bringing in the Stout small pickup as a hybrid. We might get one of those in a few years once our Tacoma is too expensive to fill up.
I'll keep my eyes out. My other half has a Tacoma and loves it. I don't really but it's still one of the smallest you can get these days and it has been reliable.
The day Toyota brings the Hilux Champ is the day I buy a truck
If you are in the states then you will have to wait until they remove the chicken tax or you will never get an imported small pickup truck and neither will I up in Canada as our market is too small without the USA having the models too.
