Large, heavy electric vehicles don’t make a lot of sense. The F-150 lightning was a neat idea, but smaller EVs make far more sense for personal vehicles.
Electric vans would be much better as a work vehicle.
This is a common argument, but the vast majority of people at home do not carry gravel or sand on a weekly basis. What they need is a rental truck for those items. The cost of 100k is ludicrous. Comparing to a rental truck you would need to be carrying raw material like that on average 2x a week to even break even with the payments.

Electric work trucks aren’t ready yet.
That torque though
I own one, and my experience disagrees with your conjecture.
Lots of people need a truck, not a van. You can’t haul a couple cubic yards of top soil or gravel in a van. I see dozens of Lightnings in my area.

I’m talking about contractors, trades people and people who do this for a living.
So 1% of pickup buyers. OK.
Some people actually work for a living, they don’t spend the day replying to email.
For that you use a $1500 trailer. The bizarre justifications for pickups are hilarious.
