EV Pickup Trucks just aren't a very significant segment of the EV market. The entire EV Truck market in the U.S. barely outsold the Equinox EV (Ford, GM, Rivian, Tesla combined).
That the U.S. press devotes so much time to such a small part of the EV market helps to inform where priorities are too.
