Towing a few times per year completely trashes the utility of an all-electric truck. I do have a big diesel (1T) bought just to be able to tow heavy things.
What I'd really like, no one makes: namely an electrically driven, so GOBS of low end torque, but with a diesel powered generator to keep the batteries charged. Give me 150mi of electric range (unloaded), and then a fuel tank big enough to pull a heavy load 500mi. Oh, and the ability to keep it plugged in at night so 80% of the time I'm not needing to use the diesel motor.
