Description: Pickup trucks have long been some of the most heavily polluting vehicles on the market today. And with so many pickups purchased and registered every year, Internal Combustion Engine pickups are a big source of pollution. Electric pickup trucks - like the Hummer EV, Rivian R1T and F150 Lightning - are offering customers an alternative to gas-guzzling pickups. But with massive battery packs, massive size and low efficiency - are electric pickup trucks REALLY greener? --------- Selected references: Environmental Research Letters - The role of pickup truck electrification in the decarbonization of light-duty vehicles: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac5142#erlac5142s5 Argonne National Laboratories: Energy Consumption and Cost Reduction of Future Light-Duty Vehicles through Advanced Vehicle Technologies: A Modeling Simulation Study Through 2050: publications.anl.gov/anlpubs/2020/08/161542.pdf ---------- Script: Kate Walton-Elliott, Winter Tashlin, Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield Presenter, Camera, Editing, Coloring : Kate Walton-Elliott End Credits, Animations: Erin Carlie © Transport Evolved LLC, 2022 This video was made possible thanks to the kind donations of our supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi.
