My F150 5.0 V8 will go over 700 miles on a tank of gas, but that's reduced to about 400 when towing our trailer. For me that's very acceptable for a long road trip, and when I do run low there are many gas stations to choose from and fill back up in 10 minutes.
The electric truck may be useful for the person who has a boat and only goes to the local lake launch, but not for a cross-country or even 2-3 state trip. As for a battery class A, I suppose they could use an on-board gas powered generator to keep it charged up longer but then what's the point of being electric? Even a whole roof of solar panels is not going to help that much when draining batteries to pull 13,000-30,000 lbs.
