There are some DC charging stations in Mexico. I usually see farm workers towing 2 older imported trucks behind them. They take the US cash and buy stuff they can re-sell down there. Almost a ZERO chance they will take these for resale.

A lot of things went missing during COVID.

Looks like Rivian vans for Amazon.

That company may be simply getting ready to replace batteries.

Tell me how many Bolts are sold in Mexico?

I've owned many pickups and they were by far the most reliable vehicles. Simply the fact that they make a million a year and parts + support available everywhere.
Most people won't be able to switch to an EV yet. I can't use a F150EV like my 5.0L F150. Gas is just too powerful, too plentiful, to easy to carry energy to pull 8000#.

A truck in Texas with 100,000 miles on it is basically a new truck.

If a company has space, people and other support then they work there. Doubt the company is paying freight.

My Bolt payback is about 4-5 years against F150 gas @ $4/gallon.

The Rivian's and F150EV's around me don't use a hitch that I've seen. Just too much energy needed to tow.

Tow No! The Ford F-150 Lightning Struggled in Our Towing Test

We towed 3100-, 5300-, and 7200-pound travel trailers with Ford’s electric truck and didn’t get very far from home.

Dang tests.

Magically a fleet would do better? Explain how that happens. There is no way a typical maintenance person or contractor or whatever will be driving this truck in a manner to conserve battery.

EV owners need a lot of changes. Roofs?? Why the heck don't we have roofs?? I don't get it.
Placing EVSE's like gas pumps??? Why not. Why pull into a spot, why not just go alongside??
Did I mention roofs?

Shame the Rivians dcfc are only for the Rivian network.

I'd think that Tesla should make lower mega charging at truck stops where drivers can use 8 hours to charge.

Why would Ford use Maverick? Worst car from that time.
