On the photos page

plywood extends beyond the end of the tailgate.

might be way too much weight aft the rear axle and that can make
driving too exciting for most people

that is to say loss of steering control when you need it most

they might need to make a cantilever that pops up and which would
apply the weight forward

might reduce the number of sheets but it is a good trade off



Good trade for what? I see very limited use advantage over a gas
powered truck. The payback is just not there.

Exactly! It reality, it is a coal-fired truck.
Electric vehicles have a much higher life-long carbon footprint than
gasoline powered vehicles. From manufacture, to shipping, to
replacement of lithium batteries, to end-of-life, to disposal of the
lithium chemicals in the environment, etc., etc., etc., electric
vehicles are much worse for the environment than internal combustion
engine vehicles.

Them add up the lack in revenue due to the loss of gas tax revenue and
it is easily proven that electric cars are a big scam and waste of money
and horrible for the environment.

Maybe a century from now, things will be different. But right now, it's
a giant scam being played on the public.

In the states they are coal powered. Here in ontario they are NUKES.


Or water powered.


Or not powered.
