For the average consumer? If I need a truck I can rent one for $50 for the day, or just have Lowe's/Home Depot deliver it. If you're actually towing something you just cut the range by 50-70%.
For all kinds of work applications this could be a huge windfall, think city utilities, cell phone companies, contractors, small-size inner-city delivery, etc. I see the private market as secondary without a lot of utility at this time, but the commercial market for these things is going to explode at some point. Almost every place with trucks that sit in a yard overnight is going to figure this out soon.
