  1. The electric trucks look nice on paper (for a commuter vehicle, family vehicle, or light duty truck) but if you work with your truck, they don't usually work out for you at all. The media pieces are always talking about how electric trucks are so close to taking over, but that's really only true if applied to family and commuter use. there's a lot of years left for gas truck demand when it comes to work, there's simply so much energy contained in gasoline when compared to what you can store in a battery. For example, i couldn't imagine trying to tow any distance (camper, car hauler, box trailer, hotshot hauling) with an electric truck. That mileage they show on paper will be less than 1/2 maybe maybe 1/3... and the attention grabbing fast chargers that give you the 30 minute recharge are very rare in areas where they'd be needed for "refuels" when hauling. Not hating on the EV's, it's just reality and physics. Imagine a truck towing a camper with a 10 gallon gas tank? That's what towing with an EV would be like, you really have to know your exact next stop. The country needs huge infrastructure buildup to install big chargers in many thousands of truck friendly locations, and that's just to accommodate truck demands, not fixing wait times as trucks come in. Trucks leave a gas pump in 5 minutes, not 30+. Just a bit of reality, I think we'll be seeing gas and diesel trucks for at least 2 decades more, without those biiiig infrastructure changes.
