  1. I doubt the switch to dc would have been beneficial

  2.  @turbojoe2  if the truck has a backup battery 10% of the truck it’ll be plenty, no need to be dramatic

  3.  @turbojoe2  30 kWh, not 30 kW On a truck that does 0-60 mph with 80k lb 20 sec. 30 kWh......

  4. Bolt?

  5. In Europe it’s just two 16A 230V lines, we also use that for induction cooking

  6. Electric vehicles existed before ice

  7. The statistics disagree

  8. I doubt it, because it’s not that great

  9. Nah, too inefficient for consumer cars

  10. But unlike gas cars you can often just charge your car at home or work...

  11. Same!

  12. And where are we getting the hydrogen from?

  13. Some cars do, and generate up to 5 kWh a day, not exactly what you need to travel far

  14. Even supercapacitors hold a relatively low amount of charge

  15. Or he can just give you some charge

  16.  @turbojoe2  I’m pretty sure he literally talked about the cost in this video😂 Tesla talks about less than 2 kWh/mi, which means that if you wanted an additional 15 miles you’d only need 30 kWh. A Tesla model S, just a passenger car, already has a 100 kWh battery. The idea is not that strange

  17.  @turbojoe2  with an average of 7 miles/gallon, a truck would only drive 60 km with 20l, right now we’re already able to charge a semi to 25 km range with half a car battery, we’ll get there

  18. Like people only charge at fast chargers

  19. No it isn’t?

  20.  @markchisholm2657  I very much know of the skin effect, I just have not seen much movement at all to dc. Would be cool though

  21. With the current range of EVs that is not feasible

  22. Just dc/ac, not voltage specific
