Gregory's ServerExactly. A small E-truck is the perfect use case for an EV. It doesn't need huge range, because it doesn't need to go very far.

 @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan This one looks interesting, too. :) Provided they manage to actually bring it to market. @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan I've started following this channel on YouTube that talks about these. Hopefully, they'll be on more solid ground than Kanoo. @Badger_AF @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan Cool vid. Interesting. I’ve been a huge fan of my 08 rav4, but it gave up the ghost last week. I was excited to get into a new rav4 hybrid. In general I’m happy enough, but it feels _massive_ in comparison to my 08. It feels like a proper truck, where my old vehicle felt more like a utility car. Just looking at the front end of it, and it’s a massive wall of metal. I could see the corners in my old car. Not this one, at all. @Badger_AF @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan It’s all anecdotal though. I guess it has very similar dimensions, so the content in the video doesn’t apply. But the cut and feel is just so much different. Truck truck truck! Ew. @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan I’d prefer they ditch the back seats and expand that truck bed as it’s too small to be useful for much. @colinaut @knowattitude @christa @sohan Agreed. And lower the price tag. Much. Say $25,000. Small cab, good sized bed. About 4x8 so you could lay plywood flat, (or 4x6, but you could put the tailgate down). Powerful enough engine to tow a trailer, but not too much. Range could be < 150 miles. Maybe extra battery modules you could put in the bed. @colinaut @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan I think the point is that it's modular, it's either a van or you remove the back one or two rows, open to the air, and it's a two seater truck. I think anyway!  @knowattitude @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan love the idea but base price of $49,999...not exactly small *and* affordable that and a serious lack of front crumple zones that aren't your knees is seemingly problematic to getting road cert no? @mastodonmigration @christa @sohan also an electric motor is good for torque it it'll haul good |

This needs to happen, somehow. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23757902/telo-truck-electric-pickup-annoucement
