Even for someone like me, who doesn’t want, let alone need, a pickup, the idea of a cheap electric truck is certainly compelling. The tiny EV workhorse from a new company partially funded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will start at around $25,000. Factoring in the federal tax credit, assuming it doesn’t disappear under the Trump administration, the diminutive pickup could drop below the $20,000 mark. But there’s one high-ranking Stellantis official who doubts people will actually settle for the spartan version.
