The problem with high-end, electric pick-ups right now is pricing and charging. Most are going to be over $75k with extended mileage options. The 700 mile batteries will require about 800v to charge overnight. The converters for that much power don't exist yet. Otherwise, a 120v. charger would take days. Not an option for storm chasing. None of these vehicles will be available until 2023 at the soonest.@Cyclone Cowboy how about the new 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid with a 700 mile range, add a topper and carry the gear in the back?

We are truly between the evolution of electric vehicles and gasoline-based engines. The biggest issue right now is charging. My father designed a battery system about 20 years ago that allows the driver to pull into a "battery station" and exchange a universal battery in seconds. I thought he was nuts. Maybe not.
