I'm still befuddled why hybrid and EV technology started with econoboxes. Tesla had the formula correct to start upscale and work backwards. The cheapest, most efficient cars are the last you want to build with hybrid and EV technology. Who the heck cares if a car goes from 40 MPG to 50, when a truck can go from 15 to 25? A body on frame already has the spare space to locate the battery, a solution to eliminate the driveshaft, and an opportunity to balance the weight bias for better handling and ride comfort. It was a no-brainer.
