If I had an EV, I'd never have noticed.
The Rivian and Tesla pickups should be interesting for the early adopters.
PS: with only short,local urban commuting,Spirit did 20.6 MPG,compared to 34-HWY.
With an EV truck I'd be able to harvest a bunch of those stoplights and stop signs,rather than lose all that kinetic energy to brake heat.
