What's your opinion about electric trucks??

they are cute and fun
they have much more tork than a gas engine
they will do amaizing things for their size
BUT

they are only practlcle for yard use

the 40- mile range is reduced because it is used

because of size they are limited in volume hauled

you really need two one working one charging
kinda like having a family of 5 and one jet ski

you can buy a used golf cart for 1000 and convert it to a truck for 500 and you have the same thing.

I would see if I could rent or lease one for a month before buying.

just my .02

Buying a golf cart and converting it would be a great idea. This company is actually a subsidiary of a golf cart company and they sell pre-owned carts.. I might try to rent one just to test it out but in the long run purchasing one would be more cost effective.
