Oh absolutely. Battery packs are the bane of every EV. But that will eventually improve over time as more EVs become common and the technology improves.
Personally, I would love to see them move away from lithium ion to something like graphene batteries that last longer, charge almost instantly, and are carbon-based so mass production won't be environmentally impactful.
What makes you think it's not a great truck?
I feel like 800-1000kWh is closer to what most households use per month. 300 seems like it would be no appliances, hot water heater, etc
Agreed. Most dealerships make get a vehicle around MSRP a pipe dream. Direct sale to the customer is really the only option.
With instant torque, regenerative braking, and less moving parts to maintain, it actually makes more sense for heavy duty vehicles to be EVs.
Pretty sure they weren't buying an EV truck for the sole purpose of being a backup generator. That's just an added bonus.
One of the points of getting an EV is to eventually get off of fossil fuels. If you're using a gas powered generator that defeats the purpose.

On top of that, gas-powered vehicles have had 100 years to evolve into the most fuel-efficient they can be. Imagine if we gave 100 years to EV battery technology.
