I wanted the newest truck I could afford. I didnt want some old POS. When I bought it gas was cheaper (less than $2). I dont need a 3/4 ton or bigger truck so a diesel was out of the question.  
The only electric trucks Ive seen are baby trucks- S10’s and Rangers and theyre useless for hauling since the batteries take up bed space.

Race gas is not a necessity.
