Being able to make an EV truck is huge.

However, one does wonder how big the market really is.

So overall truck sales are up, EV truck sales are down. Not a good sign.
I'm guessing a big part of slow sales for EV trucks is the sales split between urban and suburban/rural buyers. Drivers outside of urban areas are going to be reluctant to go EV when they have much more limited charging infrastructure and they drive long distances more frequently. Add in the huge drop in range when you hook up to a trailer and it is easy to see why pickup sales might be slow.
