So our old 3-hours to Sacramento, hour lunch and load, 3 hours back in a single day would be a three day trip, with two over-night stays, because the distance is 161 miles. A local grower is already running into this issue trying to get produce from Fresno to Carmel/Scotts Valley. He can only haul 70% because of the battery weight, and has to stop mid-way for an overnight charge to make it. (because of the grades the range is much shorter). The LIE that is all things EV is insidious and perpetrated by evil people.  |
Next they will turn the farms into solar farms.
