Oh no, no my friend
If you're looking to go greener, and not just trying to get the best mileage from gas, trucks are a GREAT place to start! They have the perfect setup for something a little greener:
Ranger conversion kits
There are many kits like that one out there. You can find a lot of info with Google
Regardless, if you're looking to be kinder to the environment, and don't mind giving up oil changes, filter changes, fuel cleaners, exhaust fumes, stopping at gas stations, tune-ups, and a loud engine, and don't mind a cheaper, more reliable, silent, truck that will hold it's value for a *long* time, then an EV conversion just might be something to look into!
These kits basically come with everything you should need, and if you're good with a wrench, you can do the conversion yourself. However, if you'd be a little weary, or just know outright that you wouldn't be able to tackle a project like this, there are also *many* shops out there who specialize in EV conversions. So don't think that it can't happen to you
