The new Graphite Battery just went into production which cost a fifth of what a lithium does, weighs much less, takes up less space, recharges in 10 minutes to full charge and has 5 times the density (output) as the Lithium Ion.
That means that 25K EV today has a 10K battery and has all the bells and whistles the Talking Heads tell you you need. Now, take away the AC, build it light enough where Power Steering and Power Brakes are not necessary , make it dumber than a box of rocks but keep the roll cage with safety equipment. By building it with a roll cage construction you save money and weight and protect the occupants. And it's much lighter than the Gas or conventional EV.
Yah, I know, you aren't capable of building this and you believe no one else is because you can't do it but you are one arrogant SOB. Even Tesla says they can build it if the right batteries are available for 5K. Guess what, the first set of batteries ARE going to turned over to the various EV makers including Ford, GM, Toyota, Tesla, etc.. And all of a sudden, the long haul truck becomes a reality.
You have been asleep at the wheel. Wake up. 2024 happens in less than 11 months.
