—> Do they have a kit to convert my Sierra 2500 HD and tow 13000 lbs 700 miles in a day?

I was in a board meeting two weeks ago…

The president of the country’s largest truck stop manager was asked when they would add charging units for electric semi-trucks

He said they had no plans to add any.

1. Prohibitively expensive
2. Each would require the energy it takes to power 1400 homes in order to deliver a full charge.

And that right there is the plain reality of it... Besides the fact that with the additional downtime to recharge, perishables will be already perished during transport by the time they get delivered.

They already have to ship it all not ripe yet and green as it is.
