I’m glad they’re quoting full and not empty. Probably not enough for over the road but would be enough for local work. -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 09:00 1
- The mandated 11 hour max day effectively limits a day's drive to ~700 miles - TWuG Nov 25, 09:08
So, more potential fiery batteries of death? -- nm - decline Nov 25, 08:51 1
- Probably fewer since the battery cells will be part of the structure instead of as individual cells epoxied into packs - TWuG Nov 25, 08:57
