Also assumes the trucks arent carrying anything... Which is something trucks are known to do.

A fully loaded Silverado 2500 could literally do as much damage in a single trip as an EV does in a year.

yea, it's wild to think about it. An empty Silverado that takes the same route to and from work as a Corolla will do as much damage in a week as the Corolla does in a year. Imagine if they had to pay their fair share.
