So you foresee a time in the US where the railroads handle the bulk of the
cross-country shipping like they used to? Because that's pretty much the
only way I can see EV semi trucks not being used for over the road
operation. And if full day rate charging is cheaper than the cost of a tank

Peri,
The problem is that you'll need far more locations to charge EV Semi Trucks
than just at current Truck Stop locations, because quite often drivers stop
to sleep at rest areas along the interstate highway system. We actually do
need a massive upgrade to the grid to compensate for the
Why wouldn't folks make use of the time needed to charge their car by doing so
at a charger at their favorite store? They'll have to be inside it for a
certain period of time anyway.

There are adapters out there that can convert between the Tesla plug and the
J-1772 Standard (both ways, in fact), so those models that support either of
those are covered nicely. I'm not sure if there are any that would allow use of
the Supercharger Network for US vehicles that use CCS or not.
Rural and suburban drivers might have the option to charge at home, and there
might be businesses willing to allow employees to charge at work, but for urban
EV owners, public charging may in fact be the only option. Just my opinion,
though.

Michael,
I have seen LFP cells in a smaller cylindrical form factor with a rated
capacity of 5000mAH, so I suspect that's what Elon is probably working with.

David, V2B is vehicle to building and V2x just is used for a generic reference

It's a neat concept that's straight out of the 1980's television show Knight
Rider. And currently, the capability is an extra cost option, last I checked.

My two cents: given a choice between a temporary power outage or possibly
losing my home, I'd take the power outage.

What Ford conveniently wants people to forget is that they also had an Electric

I'm looking for a source for 48v batteries for an E-Motorcycle project I'm
going to work on this winter. I would prefer some form of Lithium chemistry
battery, with somewhere between 20 and 40 kWh capacity. Any suggestions?

My two cents? Good for the Tesla owner, boo to the toy driver.

David,
I agree that solar only vehicles don't make sense. But, solar assisted BEV
"hybrids" that can charge from either the solar panels on the vehicle while in
use or another source at night might be something to pursue.

All of this assumes that the person shopping wants to be in the store long
enough to make plugging in worthwhile. It might work at a place like Walmart or
a similar big box store, but may not have the expected results at a smaller
grocery store.
