..and that is exactly the market they’re aiming at. It could be a giant one, too.
Ah, not quite the market they’re aiming at. The huge market that could benefit from this? Intracity fleets. Delivery trucks, city utility trucks, street maintenance trucks, etc., etc. Most such trucks only travel short distances from their base and can be plugged in to charge at night. They don’t tow long distances either.
This could reduce the operating costs of your city’s maintenance departments and hypothetically reduce your tax bill. :P
