What's your opinion about electric trucks??

I like the idea of electric with all the savings and such but I wonder about a failure of all the specialized components on this ride.
If a part should fail, and we all know they will in time, what will be the cost to repair or replace parts? Can you even find parts? You must also consider when you have troubles you can't just drop the part on the local Napa dealer and be on your way.

Just things to consider. I like the idea but will it pan out? Good luck.

Yeah biggest thing would be the motor. Anyone have an idea as to how many miles I could get out of an electric motor before it has to be replace? I still have a lot of thought to put into this before I make my final decision.
