Having 220v out the rear to say and looking like a normal truck will help a lot. There are a lot of contractors who buy a lot of trucks and not needing fuel or the trucks or generators(no longer needed0 is a huge win. Plus they check off every single checkbox for a truck, minus the perceieved distance anxiety.

They will sell very well

Not disputing that these will sell really well, but you can get the same 220v out the tailgate of an ICE F-150 today, without waiting 2+ years for the privilege.

Sure, but it's not exactly the same. For example, you can't get your 220v out of the tailgate if you're parked in a garage(or generally indoors).
