A few cents on pickups that often goes unmentioned, having recently shopped and bought.

1) Maverick is not that cheap one you add equipment and pay for gas, even on the hybrid.
If you drive enough, the Lightning ends up cheaper in a jiffy since it’s $4/100km.

2) Lightning drives a LOT smoother than standard F150 - independent rear suspension and lower center of gravity helps a lot.

3) Silverado EV looks great on paper but falls short - SuperCruise doens’t work in exit lanes, the seats are super thin, the door armrests narrow, impossible to get a topper for, charges like shit with AC on.

4) RAM tungsten interior is nice but honestly not nearly as nice as a Rivian. Rivian drives like a sports car with better steering feel than a 911 GTS. I mention these two together because they have incredibly usable interiors with space to store laptop, all adventure gear, keep it charged,etc.

5) Lightning ER, last time I checked, doesn’t qualify for a lot of incentives - even the Medium Heavy duty incentives.

6) Tundra is fucking terrible, even the seat bases are cracking in a year or two. Unreliability extends past the engine on this POS. Gas bill is terrible too.

In today’s world I really don’t see a scenario where I don’t buy an EV truck in BC.
Tesla supercharger rates at 30c/kwh mean even towing is $13/100km instead of $50 with a 5.0 F150.

- Interior? Rivian > RAM
- Towing? Silverado EV with 400km towing range and crazy recharge
- Overall usability? Lightning
