    As soon as someone releases a small electric pickup truck, I’m grabbing one and holding on to it as long as possible. It’s gotta have LFP batteries, though. Those last a long time.

      Slate is making one that should be out in 2027. Ford was supposed to be planning one, but considering how they’ve been flailing, i doubt we will ever see it.

        Not holding my breath for Slate. Alpha wolf has been on the same boat for twice as long with it’s “affordable retro EV trucks and cars” not one has hit production in 10 years since they announced it.

      I’m on the same boat, though I have a lot more requirements on what I want that electric truck to NOT include. I want a proper work truck that’s user serviceable - not a computer on wheels. Untill that, I’ll stick with my -07 diesel Navara.

        LFP batteries have about double the life cycle of NMC batteries. Both will last for thousands of cycles but if I’m looking for maximum longevity, I’m definitely going with LFP.
