    How about watching the video first?

    Battery banks, "mega pack" on site to have power banks available in case "the power goes out".

    Same with electric vehicles.
    The power doesn't always go out once trucks are back, parked and topped off lol.
    What if power goes out at 5:00pm and trucks get back to fill at 6:00pm haha?
    Could play "what if" scenarios forever.

    Tesla work out lithium batteries horrible performance in the cold yet? I'm not talking like 32 degrees cold I'm talking like -30 below cold which is seen regularly around me. I think they are great for in town short hop stuff, but for a lot of other stuff there is a lot of work to do

    Our city water rates went up 19% a few weeks ago. Which is probably nothing compared to what electric rates are going to do when all these electric vehicles hit the roads.
