seems like but manageable for most people
That’s not 150 miles of actual driving range, it’s more like 75-100miles of actual range.
They do say that they also offer a larger battery pack with a 240 mi range, but yeah, even so, it’s not gonna be a great vehicle for long-distance highway travel compared to a current ICE vehicle. Fine for a commuter, though.
Don’t buy a truck if you’re just a daily commuter, that’s just plain dumb. Get a BEV with much better efficiency and a tow hitch for the occasional needs.
A bacon egg vehicle?
Battery Electric Vehicle
But…it has a battery? What makes the difference?
This truck is also a BEV, didn’t say it wasn’t. I’m saying go buy a BEV that’s not a truck (and they all have better efficiency than trucks) that has a tow hitch instead of this if you’re just commuting.
Yeah, but you can’t get a new one at this price. You’d be pushing getting a used one with this range on the battery at this price.
Gotcha, I misread what you were saying and thought you were saying this truck and a BEV were different vehicles. But you just meant it’s not as good a BEV for someone that wants to commute. Correct?
Point me to an electric sedan I can buy for $20k and I will.

The truck form is just one of the body options for it. I mean, you can’t get it in sedan form, but the website configurator thing has options for small SUV and fastback.
All are tall models with shit efficiency.
I do have a concern about that; a lot of pickup truck missions are go-and-get-it. The best lumber yard in my area just happens to be about 75 miles away. Not a problem for my S10, right on the cusp of what this thing can do.
That’s 150 miles round trip, if you stop once to pee or whatever you can charge and boom, not on the cusp anymore
If you’re the rare person who does 3 hours of driving without stopping then… Well, you do you
I’ve done that by car, motorcycle and airplane. Did two 3-hour legs on a motorcycle in the same day, out and back.
My car doesn’t even go >200mi but I’ve driven it on multi-thousand mile trips with no problem.
I very much doubt their target market is people commuting to the office.
I want it as a commuter because it’s cheap and can be used as a weekend project truck. The second part isn’t necessary, but it’s nice to not need to rent one.
It’s 150 miles of rated range, presumably according to the EPA standard, just like every other EV is rated. The EPA standards have recently been updated to reflect more accurately.
Yes, and yet it is still so very far from reality when it comes to BEVs. It’s fine when comparing cars because it’s a well defined standard, but it’s terrible at indicating actual range especially if you don’t live in dry warm climate.
It’s really not. You can’t account for climate with a single number. That’s why standards exist.
A lot closer to 125 miles of real driving range on my 2018 leaf, and that’s an older car on older tech in not-quite-snow and on hills in the winter
