Believe it when I see it.
I hope it works out for them.
But no one seems eager to make the first move on releasing an electric pickup.

Potential problems.
The biggest one I see with the concept of an electric pickup truck is level 2 charging is pretty much mandatory if you drive more than 30 miles a day.
It appears a large portion (as far as I can tell it's up to half of them) of electric car people only use level 1, they cry and whine so much about paying a few hundred dollars for a level 2 evse and a few hundred more for an electrician to install the circuit.
