An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

I’ve been clear it’s a work truck, not a status symbol
And I work wholesale auto auctions. I love EV I wish I could buy one.
But burying our heads in the sand and pretending it has 0 drawbacks is what got us into this fossil fuel mess in the first place.
I’m not saying your truck in particular is a status symbol, I’m saying trucks are status symbols and therefore generally expensive. If you’re in the US, it’s hard to find something like a Honda Acty and you’ll always pay for the machine to be oversized.
I’m also not saving EVs have no drawbacks at all. The drawbacks they have are, however, manageable. A car will always be a compromise, and the fact that electric cars have to be charged is something that can be dealt with.
