It’s what I hear most often when the idea of EV pickups comes up. The premise is that they’ll be fine for people who only use their trucks for basic transportation, but as soon as you try to use it as a truck…”

I’m not in the truck market, and tbh if I were, I doubt I’d gravitate towards an EV truck, but at this point it looks to me that they are capable for short haul.

I am tied into the commercial vehicle market and do a lot of study on the progression of electrification of commercial vehicles, including infrastructure build up. Pull through chargers do exist and are growing in implementation, not at the rate of passenger vehicle chargers though. And, tbh, they are similar networks to passenger car CCS implementations which have sketchy reliability records.
