Not exactly what you're describing, but the F150 Lightning has a feature called 'Pro Power Onboard' that provides up to 9.6kw of power on 240v and 120v outlets in the bed. This is plenty of power to run a welder, air compressor or other item that would have traditionally required hauling around a large generator.
To your point, however, this is just a stopgap b/c a) it requires an expensive inverter that is otherwise completely useless on the truck and b) the power is still somewhat limited. As a result, there's not much incentive for a manufacturer to create high power electric tools that could take advantage of this ability because the market is extremely limited.
It does seem like something that will naturally evolve, however. I'm looking forward to a nice electric log splitter that actually has some guts.
