The EV trucks would basically replace the trucks that are bought primarily for transportation with the occasional Home Depot run or furniture moving task. Buyers requiring the heavy hauling and towing capability would still be expected to buy the 3/4 ton and up vehicles.

Don't you think that among truck owners, this will stigmatize EV trucks as "not real trucks", in terms of capability?
