    The only way they could fix leaking injectors cups, perhaps this one comes with miles and miles of power cord .

    I read all the BS press releases about electric vehicles, from Chevy Volts, to Tesla's, to this. They NEVER say anything about range, weight, time to recharge, how much electricity it will take to recharge. The technology is just not there and they are being totally opaque about it.
    It is exactly like all the hullabaloo that came out with LNG and CNG trucks about 10 years ago. How many of those fill stations are in mothballs at various Flying J and Pilot truckstops?

    If they will produce that huge number of giant equipments then lets hope they will build up more than enough numbers of charging stations and electric chargers too.

    If it would be in boom then these people will not take time, they want $$ and using the latest technology they will be high in the market.

    The company I’m leased to built a CNG fill station six years ago when they had a fleet of CNG trucks.

    Guess how many CNG trucks they have presently............none.

    The CNG fill stations now are just white elephants.
