pure electric trucks arent very practical yet,
unless they build those fast chargers in every truck stop

At WOT the Tesla can exhaust it's battery in less than 4 minutes! Done, dead flat! Think of that next time you tow up a big mountain with your RV!

except maybe some powered by natural gas or vegie fuel.

The two VIA trucks PG&E has been trying out cost about $400,000 total, Meisel said.
Sorry wrong again. My diesel is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cleaner. Around 50% of this countries electricity comes from coal. Energy producing, BIGGEST AIR POLLUTER in the US. This is a fact. LINK

Im totaly puzled why the Big semi tractors dont already use this technology as the electric motors have way more torque right from the get go,so it wont even need a transmissions,,
Two reasons. One is mega buck cost and the other I suspect is power. Notice the guy does not talk about HP. Why not? Hmmmmmmm????????

Delivery trucks and the like. Yep, like I said, works great. Out on the open road? Batteries suck!
