Electric truck and SUVs expect them to use up to 2x as much power as a small car like the leaf.
Fixed my lysdexia.

I expect the larger trucks and SUVs to be around 2 miles per kWh, and I expect that to represent about 1/3rd the cost per mile compared to the gasoline counterpart.

There shouldn't be major electricity production issues, as market problems can be solved with market solutions (TOU as one example). As I keep saying, EVs should help stabilize the grid more than destabilize.
