I've been here about what people use pick up trucks for. I see most pick up trucks drive by with the bed empty or covered with one of those tonneau covers. Many are 4-wheel drive big V8 and are almost always empty with the nice shiny paint job still washed and waxed. I just wonder when the truck ever gets used for hauling something. I also wonder how the shopping bags stay in the bed and how they stay dry in the rain. I've been watching the trucks on the roads around here for quite a while. I always thought a van would be more practical. I guess the big SUVs have replaced them now. Rarely is there a passenger in the truck. That joke has been in some Disney movie years ago. I do agree that there is some overkill here.
Maybe there's gonna be a market for electric pickups. Since they don't haul anything in the plastic-covered bed anyway, they might as well have the green machine with the organic-veggie burning recharger engine. It wouldn't appeal to the Harley version truckers, but it would appeal to the soccer moms and the Prius crowd that would want to haul a refrigerator or a sofa home.
I'm still considering getting some solar panels that have an inverter attached to each 245 watt panel. They allow you to buy what you can afford and add panels as you add electric appliances/cars. If one is in shade for a while, it doesn't bog down the whole system because each panel connects directly to the grid at 220VAC.
