BEV trucks in Europe have huge issue with gross weight limited to 3500kg due to drivers license (B category - normal) being at that level max.
This ends up limiting their battery plus overall load is not great.

It will be literally compliance truck for entering city zones, etc.

hard to imagine how they could have made that front end any uglier, and the hood that high being so pointless.

Add a sunshade, and it's perfect 👍👍

On the topic of Rivian

Took it in for a new steering wheel today (free fix for a known issue) and picked up a new one while I was there. A bit small for family usage though

$0.59 a kWh is about right when supercharging / DC fast charging. Will vary by location and demand, but that's what I've been seeing on my travels.

That's 222 kWh at .58 cents per kwh, which is a lot of electricity at a very high rate. Imagine filling a 28 gallon gas tank at $5 a gallon... the cost of premium in California. Giant battery pack is going to cost more to charge just like a giant gas tank will cost more to fill
