I mean, this is a factor I’m sure, but the reality is people want the big trucks. The big trucks sell. That’s the major factor. If this were the real reason the EV trucks would be small, right? Well they’re not, they’re gigantic. You can hava long and wide wheelbase without a 5 person cab, you can have an extended bed. You can have a long and wide wheelbase without a giant front end you can’t see over. The footprint doesn’t mandate a tall, luxurious cab.
Just because the market is doing something doesn’t mean the consumers are enjoying it. For some reason humans have to have the shiny new thing, whether or not it checks all the boxes. I’m sure the market is split on this subject.
And why would an ICE vehicle company change the wheelbase of a model just because of the drivetrain? You need to keep models similar to help keep costs down.
Yeah, blame the governmental entity that gets its hands tied behind its back by protectionist lobbyists and corrupt Supreme Court Justices, and not the the big 3 reaping the rewards. Just like the IRS and the USPS.
Actually, most of the nerfing and defanging of the three letter organizations has been pulling of their funding by certain leaning politicians. The EPA made the rules with the help of the big three, they are all to blame.
Not to bust anyone’s bubble, but you can thank the EPA and their MPG guidelines for all these stupidly huge trucks. Why we can’t have small trucks
