It's coming someday, but I will have to see independent research to show battery resource sourcing, especially the Cobalt, before I place any of my money into an EV.
It won't. You don't get the full 500 or so mile range on a full tank of gas when towing & hauling with your truck as is. An EV won't be any different. Doing more with your truck takes more energy, doesn't matter whether that comes from dino juice or electrons.


*edit*
Why the very specific concern of Cobalt sourcing?
