I want one!
Hi All, 500 mile range loaded to 80,000 pounds. 30 minutes to recharge to 400 mile range. It may be self driving, too. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1113863_tesla-semi-500-mile-range-lowe...

Well, I only skimmed the posts here, but roughly 50% of a barrel of crude oil is cracked to gasoline and 10% for Jet-A. You crack a barrel of crude for your jet fuel, you are going to get gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil for heating plus other light lubricants. Jets aren't going solar or wind power ever and gasoline engine technology is getting better and better, mostly due to auto racing. Don't lose sleep or money over your automobiles. Go camping!

Gas and diesel engine is patheticaly ineficient at maybe 35% while electric is 99%..
Now add all the polution and enviroment destruction diging for fosil fuels and 7 milion human deaths every year due to the same polution and it doesnt look all that great..
Jets may never be electric but small planes already are,the advantages are just that good..

Good luck with that. I'm a pilot and probably the only one on this thread that lives 100% off-grid solar. I know the reality. ;)

What is reality,,you recharge bateries and you go,,or fly as the case maybe,,whats the difference in watching the fuel gage or time left in bateries..?nada..
Bigest diference is cost of flying,,my money is on EV..
Like they say in the army..good soldier doesnt need luck!:p
Burning fuel reduces weight as you fly and also reduces the landing distance and stress on the brakes at the destination. The energy used from batteries weighs noting, the batteries do. Put some of the money you save on EV into learning to fly then get back to me.
