The data found about 68 per cent of car shoppers in 2022 who did not own an EV showed an intent to purchase one, but that dropped to 56 per cent this year.

If they made a little EV pickup with a 2 seater cab, 6ft bed, basic backup camera and a 200 mile range for 20k, I'd buy one tomorrow.

This, an electric Ranger is 10x more useful than a crew cab Ram with a 4 foot box, super nova headlights and a 12L V8 un-tuned diesel.

There used to be an Electric Ranger, but the snag was that the range was so low that it was only sold for institutional / commercial campus use -- I think it had a 60 mile range, and took overnight to charge.

Oh man, that's what I want! My commute is 30 miles round trip and it's shift work so there is at least 10hrs of charging time between commutes.

Pick up a 10 year old Tesla -- they're cheap and they have lots of battery life for short commutes.

There was a rumor GM is making the LUV truck but electric. I'm not a bowtie person anymore but I would have a downpayment on one in a heartbeat.
