Why is snowplowing absent on all the EV trucks? Are they not capable of the heavy duty use or is the market not ready to buy them?


I'd imagine the weight and traction control would make an EV truck great for plowing.

Their marketing team must be based in So Cal and unaware of the use case. /s


Nah that's bad use case for it. Batteries don't work well in cold and all that extra weight would make probably halve its range.


I don’t often see vehicles advertised with snow plows? Aren’t they all aftermarket ?


The plows are all aftermarket but the trucks are sold as plow-ready or with prep packages.
