    I think they're a joke. Heavy, no range, takes tremendous amount of power to charge them and a very expensive battery to replace down the line.

    No, thanks.

    Maybe for some little puddle jumper trips around town or something, or as a yard mule, yea. I saw an electric yard mule, that thing was cool.

    No offense but you don't have a trucking career yet. You only have a career of asking questions. Get some seat time somewhere, anywhere, and a lot of your questions will begin to answer themselves.
     
    JolliRoger, ducnut, TripleSix and 26 others Thank this.

    OK that's it. You started too many weird threads. Your age is in question. I need to see your identification.
