That's a pretty vague question.
Would I buy a TRX that has a 1000+ hp electric motor instead of a Hellcat? Yes.
Would I buy a Ford Ranger with a 200 hp electric motor? No.

Nope not unless my occupation changes and I go back to working locally again. Ev is nothing but a additional headache for me working state to state.

Depends. Truck?, not any of the current offerings, but if I had a long commute with charging available I would consider some of the cheaper car options.

no way in **** I'd buy an Electric Truck. Look at the dismal results of the F150 Lightning (TFL).

For a fleet/work truck in town it would be an excellent option and more likley to pay for the premium in reduced maintenance and potentially 'fuel' savi gs depending g on utility options. For my current personal use maybe if it had a range extender like the rumored Ram Rav REPB concept. I would be very interested in a PHEV truck however as our PHEV Pacifica has been excellent in it's 1st year of ownership and allows us to make 90% of our trips on electric buy still take road trips without issue.
