“. That’s not what you see in the EV industry right now — especially for trucks.”

Why would I believe someone that doesn’t know that EV’s have regenerative braking.

I know all about regenerative braking. I also knew enough to point out that you misrepresented the capabilities of the system described in this article.

If regenerative braking performed the way you described it, you could drive a truck around with your foot on the brake pedal at all times -- and use less than zero energy. That's ludicrous.

List of Electric Truck Makers

There's a whole lot of "Betamaxes" out there, dude.

From a conversation with one fleet manager last year whose company bought a set of prototype EV trucks for testing: "We won't buy another one of these things for years. The company that made the six out there in our yard right now is already out of business, so we have no idea if we can even buy replacement parts to repair them."
