    The thing that would make it work for me is free charging at work, which would also be one of the customers whose junk I’d be disposing. $0 fuel costs.

    But the cost of the truck is just too much

      If you could get through a day without needing to use a fast charger, it might still work. Overnight charging on a slow level 2 is cheap. Needing to do a 20 minute top-up at a fast charger gets expensive in a hurry.

        Yeah it’s got a 300+ mile range, which is more than enough for me, even hauling. I don’t commute super long distances.
