All came from the manufacturers,best I can tell.
Ford has constructed an ( at least did the R&D) EV,beginning around 1909. In the 1990s,they constructed a BEV Ranger pickup to meet California's zero-emissions mandate.BEV isn't anything new to them.GM had their electric S-10 and EV1.Chrysler had their electric T-van.
What's new is,radical competition in the pickup market,which is an extremely lucrative,competitive,however,not necessarily technology-driven market segment.Elon Musk has changed all that.Aerodynamics has been stifled for almost a hundred years now (98-years).Cybertruck represents the 1922 Jaray technology hated by all stylists.It threatens the very existence of these 'Paris dressmakers',as Alfred P. Sloan Jr. referred to them.And unfortunately,unless the legacy carmakers mimic Cybertruck in 'appearance',they have no way to compete with it's performance.It's shape is it's range.
