I knew this was possible. If it can power a house. Why not? They can make this work. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Thinks It Can Charge Itself

Sounds like the world's most inefficient heater element!
Seriously though- Electric heavy duty vehicles cannot come fast enough for me.
I would love to have something like this ol boy pictured below... it is an all electric con ed truck.
Currently my lift truck is an f450xl with the v-10. The fuel efficiency is 6.4 mpg (truck is just over 16000 lbs).
It is a ridiculous waste of fuel- the hydraulics are all electric powered, they went away from PTO a few years back.
The exhaust when I am working is annoying as hell, and it attracts every mosquito for 10 miles around.
An electric version could be loaded down with batteries and actually the weight would be a plus- more stability.
I only need a couple hundred miles of range per day maximum.
