EV alternative for light/medium duty trucks
So much wheel spinning on EVs, what if they are not the right path forward? The biggest problem with renewable power and EVs is storage, the second is storage, and the third is storage. Another pat...

Tell us that minivan belongs to your spouse. Most men would not drive one, and certainly not want to be seen loading it up at HD, or Lowes. Actually SUVs became the popular soccer mom rig, as they wanted to regain self respect. :)

LOL. Back in early 80s, in the same bodyshop, brother was repairing a wrecked late model half ton GM pickup. Quitting time, we would turn to a early 70s GM station wagon, building for demolition derby. Now by eye we could tell nothing about the strength of steel used, but brakes frame and all suspension parts on SW, looked to be as least as heavy duty as the PU.
OT. Years back, the contractor called "Put trucks on hold, give us time to dry the site" Now I had faith we would work, know it is hard to round up drivers once they scatter, "I'll buy breakfast." 5 of 7 had regular cab PU, 1 had MC, the other had a mini van. I suggested we all ride together. "No! it's a mini van, I can't haul this many of you big MFs!" We took 3 PUs (Later learned he was living in van thru week, going home on weekend)
