Yes. I was hanging around with a homebrew EV club 10 years ago (I like all types of vehicles) and most of the conversions were small trucks with the batteries in the bed and ev conversion under hood. The sweet spot is still late 70's/early 80's trucks which are relatively simple, still made out of steel and are relatively easy to adapt. In the event of fire it is relatively easy to install a big lever and spring loaded connectors to ungang the battery connections.



i would love a vintage truck like that but totally updated inside + ev. Though they don't crumple like modern cars..

thanks!
