In both cases maybe it helps people find EM in google searches if we are more explict about it.

Not averse to this.

Anecdotally, it seems the percentage of new members who are looking to mod trucks has grown more than any other.

Which makes sense. Smaller vehicles are maybe efficient enough that people say "meh, 35 MPG is good enough".

But a 20 MPG truck is still a serious expense.

It would be nice to have more EV modders, but I expect we'll get relatively few. Every EV has a dedicated owners forum and/or (far more likely) FB group. I expect most owners would just post there.
