"Vehicle weight limitations—Natural Gas and Electric Battery Vehicles (Sec. 422), which adds to existing vehicle weight limitation exemptions vehicles powered primarily by means of electric battery power and clarifies that these vehicles may exceed the weight limit on the power unit by up to 2,000 pounds."

So another case of the government picking one technology over another. And doing all it can to make one more attractive and one less desirable. Instead of letting each stand on their own merits.

I am sure some companies service some pretty localized areas and they would probably be fine. I don’t know how they run things nowadays. Back when I worked for roto-rooter In Albuquerque, I also did a short stint with American Leak Detection) we ran all over the city and foothills and went as far as Moriarity out to one of the Indian Pueblos west of Albuquerque. So some nights 170-200 would have been fine but other days not even the 300+ range would work. We were also allowed to take the vans home because the yard was to small to park them all. I lived in Moriarity so I would be killing what a bunch of the range just getting into town lol. Now I think the company just would figure it all out in the long run. Maybe each stop a service plumber or HVAC person would make they would be able to plug in. Hopefully it is all sorted out before the big leap is made. Lolol

The big question I have is how in the heck am I going to wake the dead with the Jakes on a cool clear 0600 am Sunday morning with an EV? They going to be like the Harley electric bike and add some artificial sound? Lol

I could say the same about you, but I'm no longer going to indulge this line of conversation.

No. You post data and are firm it’s the gospel. Others post opposing data and you say they are moving the goal posts. You are a crazy person.
That link I posted was a Harvard study. I don’t like Harvard or their culture but it is a study nonetheless. It is contrary data. WTF else would you call it?Last edited: Dec 30, 2022

Typical. You were shown that your one sided viewpoint/opinions/data are not the gospel so instead of accepting the fact you are wrong you chose not to engage. That just solidifies my argument. Thank youIH9300SBA, Savor the Flavor and Jubal Early Times Thank this.
