Actually a pick up would be the hardest vehicle to produce if you want some range.
An electric motor is ideal for a pickup (or even truck/bigrig etc) but they are very inefficient vehicles so they need a huge battery to be practical, and that makes it very expensive.
I estimate to make a pickup with a 250 mile range you'd need twice the battery capacity from a p100d or so.
