The Ford F150 Lightning sold like a lead balloon. Turns out those impressive range numbers go to shit if you're carrying anything heavier than groceries.
And that's just a pickup. Anything bigger like freight or heavy industry will run afoul of the square-cube law dealing with XBOX HUEG batteries just trying to last a few hours.
Maybe a mild Northeastern Yankee summer. Down South, the 100+ degree summers will murder the lifespan of batteries, assuming they don't just spontaneously combust.
Yep, without a tranny between the engine and the wheels, anything from higher speed and pulling weight to bad weather is gonna drain the battery a lot faster.

They also go to shit if its any season colder than summer.
Or if you decide to go fast.
My friend has an electric motorcycle and that's an ongoing logistical concern for him.

If you dent/hit the battery compartment with a small stone it can also explode!
Or any season warmer than summer
