    That’s the fun part about electric cars. The batteries are warrantied for 10 years and the data and real life examples show they go much longer than that.

    Only repairs are coolant, brakes, and tires. Don’t hit/damage any of the sensors/electronics… they’re the expensive part of an EV. Self driving is amazing though.

    The used market is a great place to get a EV AT 3-50% off.

    rivian or Tesla is the only one with a truck bed though. I dunno where you’d find 2 feet of clearance in any vehicle without modification.

    My mache can pull a trailer pretty easily at the weights you’re describing.

    Sounds like you might be interested in this: https://www.slate.auto/en

    I don't know much about the company. I just know they're working on releasing an electric SUV/truck (it could be either depending on what you want) and it's supposedly going to be priced around $25k. They might be full of shit for all I know but that's the marketing buzz at least.

    Currently I need a small form electric truck with at least 2ft of ground clearance and preferably no giant nose on the front that small children can hide behind, with at least 100mi of travel on one charge and the ability to go 300mi in one day with full size charging stations.

    You want to go back in time and get the Chevy S-10 Electric from the late 90s.
