My chiropractor is gung-ho on EVs, drive a Tesla, solar panels on his office roof, all he wants to talk about. Brags about heating and cooling the office, charging the Tesla for all his travels and selling power back to the energy co.
When I bring up battery manufacturing and use of precious metals, plus recycling issues, sidesteps the subject.
HD trucks, told him I'll stick with my Duramax. "Oh, I guess an EV would have too much torque for you". I ask range towing 7,500lbs. "maybe 300 miles". Ah, ok, when I hook up to go, it's usually 600-1,200 miles. Where is there a charging station to park a 54' rig for an hour?? Or over night??
