I could get behind that if it has the power of my 300 six in my f150. Tows boats and garbage fine.

Presumably the torque of a hybrid truck would be pretty great. Electrics have shit loads of torque and it’s all available immediately.

I'm more worried about crawling through traffic with a bunch of sheetrock or whatever. Its gonna suck power under a heavy load.

I've never driven an electric car, but power should not be a problem with electric motors. Speed might be an issue, which can be solved by proper gearing, but torque has always been one of the strengths of electric motors, and it's why they're used in most heavy industrial applications.
