Trucks are already expensive, and making one electric will only raise the cost, especially if it's an electric version of an existing conventional like Ford's pending electric F-150. One school of thought says that it's easier to "bury" part of the cost of electrification in the sticker price of a truck that already costs an average of  $51,000. The other school of thought is that trucks are already at the high end of what the vast majority of consumers can afford and that there's no head room beyond that.

br>rices.If electric trucks have an Achilles heel it might be at the intersection of range and towing capacity: It remains to be seen in the real world how much these trucks' range decreases when pulling something heavy. And a lot of potential owners live in places where a drive to work could be 50 miles or 천하카지노주소 more each way down roads where charging locations aren't exactly plentiful. Combine all those factors with use of the truck's battery at the job site and you could have a more complex case of range anxiety.
