GM exec says electric trucks still make sense despite weak sales

GM vehicle products SVP Jaclyn McQuaid said electrification has a "huge application" in trucks, citing off-board power for job sites and homes plus gains in battery energy density and range. Electric truck sales haven't met GM's expectations, and no timeline was given for LMR batteries reaching its pickups.

• McQuaid drove a Silverado EV for a year, called its range "incredibly impressive"
• Key argument is off-board power for a job site or home
• No timeline for LMR batteries in GM's electric trucks
• Next-gen trucks will get GM's new central computer
