EV Pickup-Makers Have Chosen The Wrong Targets. Evidence Mounts Cybertruck, Rivian Are Failing

From Torque News.

Evidence mounts battery-electric pickup trucks are failing in America. I am going to lay out sobering facts about battery-electric pickup trucks. It’s hard to see how battery-only pickups can be seen as anything but a failing effort.

We analyze Ford F-150 Lightning, the Tesla Cybertruck, Rivian, Hammer EV and Chevy Silverado EV.

As automotive expert and former Torque News EV reporter Eric Evarts writes, "I think the pickup-makers have chosen the wrong targets first (as they often do): Full-sized pickups expected to do full-sized work — with more than full-sized batteries. There are plenty of homeowner-grade trucks out there that could benefit from the efficiency of electric driving without the limitations inherent in battery range for towing, etc. Rivian seems a better example, but still way too expensive with the size batteries they’re using. I’m much more, more optimistic about what Ram is doing with its eREV. More of that, please!"

Silverado and Sierra Deliveries Are Minuscule.
Hummer Deliveries Settle in Under 1,000 Units Per Month.
Ford’s F-150 Lightning – Plant Closure, Five-Figure Sales Incentives, The Imaginary $39K Trim.
One of the disturbing Cybertruck metric is unfulfilled reservations. Fans who track the Cybertruck admit that about 97.5% of the online reservations have evaporated since deliveries began.
