How Long Until There Is An Electric Pickup In Our Future?

It wasn't that long ago when the idea of fully electric cars had some pundits saying it would never happen, but they are here. And now, with the presidential election behind us and the Obama administration likely to continue to push toward more automotive electrification, it seems more likely than ever to see added investment in that direction.

Automotive News is reporting that it's likely President Barack Obama will continue to push for the his target of 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015, less than three short years away. If that is going to happen, electric vehicles will need to evolve away from cute-car anomalies and move into more mainstream designs and vehicle segments. And that means pickup trucks.
