This. Just this, so much. How much would a battery, an electric engine and safety shit cost?
I've seen conversion kits for old trucks under $10k. So there's your answer.
Unfortunately said kits are often lacking in range unless you're willing to fill your truck box with batteries, because you can't really retrofit a "skateboard" style battery.
