So one truck has a 5.9T battery and another truck has a 3.6T battery. Two trucks combined 9.5T batteries with a combined level of 1.6MWh. That alone is a lot of battery materials having to be dug up. Multiply that by how many trucks and how much material will be needed to feed all those trucks. That's just the start. Plus the charging required for 1.6MWh, plus the relatively short life span of those battery packs.

Wonder how much it costs for replacement battery packs and where will spent ones end up not to mention of all those still good to go diesel trucks thrown away simply because some think it is another planet saving incentive? Poor planet.

Also wonder how these trucks will be charged with everything else EV when the reliable existing coal fired systems simply disappear and those not so reliable renewables are relied on? Wonder also about how long before renewables have to be renewed due to short life span? Undoubtedly taxpayers to the rescue yet again in continuum. AIMO
