I'd like to have a kei truck for doing my local driving but because of safety
concerns they're not legal to drive on the roads here and many places in the US.
I hate these big, tech filled, expensive trucks. It seems like there would be a
market for simpler trucks more like those we used to have with just enough tech
to make them more fuel efficient and safe. I don't need a screen and all the
bells and whistles and I suspect there are a lot of folks around who feel the
same.

and I suspect
You only suspect? I can assure you there are lots of people who feel the same
way about 'yank tanks' here. It's upselling - costing the consumer more money,
in this case, to pay for a higher running cost. There's no advantage for the
consumer.

Sure there is. How else would you know who has the smallest dick energy?

Just to really annoy the people who feel the need to have yank tanks, I think
an electric Kei truck would be perfect for my local driving needs.
Be careful talking about dick energy, pulse, some 'mericans take it personally
and want to rant at you.

On a positive note, let's have a wish list:
1. Hydrogen fuel cells.
2. Lawn mower size petrol engine to power converting water back into hydrogen
and oxygen, can also be plugged in (mains and rapid charging).
3. Solar panels mounted under roof racks with a wire mesh to protect the
panels.
4. Comfortable seats, like a 1980's Rolls Royce (you
have to ride in one
of those!).
5. Long suspension, can handle the same bumps but more comfy ride (copied from
Peugeot).
6. No surplus electronics as in Quasi's post above.
7. Like Toyota Landcruiser, Yaris 4WD (as sold here in Australia), Land Rover or
IENOS, plus a family sedan.
8. Range of 900kms assuming 90kg adult with no luggage.
9. No lithium Ion batteries.
Any additions?
