Range itself might not become such an issue as range-anxiety and the longer time to charge the batteries compared to filling a fuel tank. That's why I wouldn't hold my breath for a full-electric F-150 to become production-ready so soon. A serial hybrid with a microturbine powering the genset OTOH would make more sense, even though it might appeal more to fleet operators (who might eventually become able to trade "carbon credits") than to the average Joe. Even though the bragging rights are behind most vehicle choices, an average truck buyer is still too farther from becoming greenwashed to get a hybrid than a regular sedan buyer would be.
