Hey, I like the concept of electric vehicles, that I don't have to take to a specific location to pump full of energy periodically. It's quite nice in many use cases. In others, not so much, and that includes larger vehicles where square-cube law starts eating at the practicality. I was planning a huge solar system for my home, much bigger than basic needs because I get around a dozen multi-hour power failures every year and losing power is annoying, and part of the expense would be justified by the luxury of not having to worry about it. But the huge battery system I spec'd out is only a little bigger than the battery pack that's in Ford's new electric truck. That means enough power to run my home for a couple of *days* is consumed by an electric pickup in 500 miles under optimal conditions. If there's more than one person in the truck, the number goes down. If it's cold out, the number goes down a lot. If the truck's towing a trailer it goes wayyy down. Pretty sure off-road will also drop that enormously. It also means the ginormous solar system I was going to put up would only just about charge the truck in a full day, and wouldn't be able to run my house either. A solar panel will maybe produce 4-5 full hours equivalent of full-power on a perfectly cloudless day. So you'd need 40 KW of solar panels just to charge that truck.
