> a fully charged 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck has less energy onboard than a regular F-150 with four gallons of gas in its tank.

This is misleading because of how much less energy efficient a gas engine is than an electric motor.

> Equipped with single-speed transmissions at the front and rear motors, the Lightning can't just downshift into the meat of the torque curve like a gas truck does, so passing maneuvers at highway speeds require patience and planning with a heavy trailer.

This doesn't sound right either. Isn't the reason that ICE vehicles have transmissions and EVs don't that the former have very narrow power bands, but that the latter basically have peak torque from 0rpm all the way until peak power, and then have peak power from there all the way until redline?
