Range is largely a function of speed, so that's very dependent on how patient the driver is or the willingness to impede traffic. 300km range probably roughly equates to a 120 kWh battery, or twice the capacity of the Chevy Bolt. For reference, the largest battery Tesla makes for their vehicles is 100 kWh. The retail cost of such a battery I would roughly estimate at $25,000. Start adding up the price of the truck itself from there.

120 kWh is probably about the right size for a pickup too, all things considered.
