No points to Tesla for beauty but the new GM, Ferd, and Dodge ain't purdy trucks either.
The instant torque of an EV is scary high.
On short trips the EV should spank everything else in power and acceleration... as long as the loads are really secured.

Internal combustion will still spank an EV truck on range.

It's all a trade off.
Score it on paper in four or more columns... want, need, cost, time to complete.
Then pick your poison.
