    ""The Tesla car battery is about 360 kgs and costs about $15K (roughly)
    A Tesla car loaded is about 2000 kgs (2 ton)

    Now lets look at a B Double"


    Its fully loaded weight is 63 Ton or 31.5 times that of a car.
    This, IMO, means that a B Double battery would cost $472,500 & weigh 11.34 ton"

    If that is the sort of logic you use to make up your conclusions, how do you expect people to give them any credibility.

    While the weight is a significant issue, a quick google search shows you are way off the mark.

    I do agree that battery tech is not there yet for longhaul vehicles and may be a long way off before it is economically viable.
    No need to gild the lily though.
