The logistics look real scarry!!!
How many tons of batteries will a 7 ton truck need to drive 100 miles?
Are there sufficient materials in the planet earth to mine and produce billions of batteries?
How long will the driver need to waste time to change or charge his batteries?
How will the electric grid cope with producing enough power to eliminate CO2 emmissions?
If petrol and diesil are banned how will the power plants generate their power?
Power stations are only 50% efficient whereas diesel lorries are about 75%?
Hydrogen gas is not liquifiable economically; so what do we do now??
