Basically what the article says is to get the range up to acceptable standards one has to buy a huge expensive truck with a huge battery that takes longer to charge and costs just about as much as gas engine to fuel.
So what's the use?
To rideshare or deliver successfully requires maximum uptime and near unlimited range only depending upon the availability of the driver to stay awake and attentive.
Waiting up to 18 hours for that one busy session or trip so one can make some decent money is a real pain in the arse, I know I did it for 5 years for Uber, 7 days a week.
However one doesn't get to do that with most EV's because of the size of the vehicle delegates the size of the battery this reduces its range.
The argument this guy has is entirely correct, we need smaller batteries that carry the same capacity as larger ones in EV trucks.
Right now the only thing that is feasible is the gasoline molecule. 😆
You know they figured this all out decades ago when they had electric golf carts and figured the battery technology wasn't quite ready yet to scale up to regular vehicles, but here some people go and try anyway making a political issue of it and thinking it's going to change the world for the better, well it hasn't.
Not everyone can use these small zippy little cars with their short ranges and can't carry a dam thing but 4 children. Uber drivers need space, range and maximum uptime because all it takes is that one good trip to make ones day, week or even month.
Now you see we all have been lied too.
