- This hasn't been mentioned yet - but wonder if constant heavy discharge, followed by fast charging, will take a toll on battery life. Much more so than an IC engine running high duty cycle.
I'm far from anti-EV, in fact, I believe 99% (not an exaggeration) of commuting should be done with EVs.
But the fact is battery technology is not quite there yet to support heavy duty-cycle. The motors are, and have been ever since GM introduced the first diesel-electric locomotive. 99.9% of rail freight use electric motors for motive, the <.1% being heritage steamers.
As soon as we have reliable 1,000 kwh battery packs, with negligible Peukert factor, then bye-bye ICs. Me Again wrote:

I have seen those up close and personal but usually in command and control operations or large mobile dental/medical clinics. Even movie production housing etc. An electric Tesla semi would work good in those situations.- All I can say about those 57' 5th wheel with the axles near the rear, one will have to learn to really swing their corner wide.

I’m counting 4 slides....just on one side. Sorry Chris. From what I remember I don’t think it will fit in your driveway dude. :).8.1 Van wrote:
