I also think range and charging will be a big issue with electric trucks, existing batteries just don't hold enough energy for heavy duty use.

The mileage on my diesel certainly suffers when towing but even when hauling a 12,000 lb trailer I have around 300 miles range depending on the terrain, and I can fill it up almost anywhere in 15 minutes.
