A few years back, I visited the Permian basin and roamed around the active fields. The place was buzzing with white pick ups most of which were carrying only one man. The loads if present were small.
That is to say, all pickups and probably most job site tasked pickps don’t travel far and are mostly carrying light or no loads.
Electric trucks can definitely fill the jobsite niche. As production ramps up, the cost will decrease. Tesla will be the prime disrupter
Electric trucks can definitely fill the jobsite niche. As production ramps up, the cost will decrease. Tesla will be the prime disrupter. There is a big difference between one of these...
And one of these...
Electric job site trucks have been produced for decades and the prices have been going up not down even with increased production. Sadly, the price of the batteries which are the largest expense in producing either have not been going down with increased scale of production... they have been going up and up and up.
Wish in one hand and poop in the other and see which one gets filled the quickest.
