Electric pickup trucks have some disadvantages compared to diesel trucks, mainly in terms of cost and range. The cost of operating an electric truck per mile is estimated at $1.26, while the cost of owning a diesel heavy goods vehicle stands at $1.51 per mile [1]. Electric vehicles also have a limited range, meaning they may not be suitable for long trips [2]. Additionally, electric vehicles require frequent charging and may require the purchase of additional charging stations [3]. The lack of availability of charging stations in some areas may also be a disadvantage for electric pickup trucks.
