Dutch,
Got one of those battery trucks in the planning. 500 miles at 81,000#.
That's gotta get you excited if, It's real. Real world. And charging would be reasonable in time, money, location.
The cars can charge on a simple house 110/220v line. Bet these will need more than 100/220v to get it done in a reasonable time. I'll let Pepsi work out some of the "first year problems", lol. But, if the dam things work as advertised, where do I sign up? Talk about a money saver.

Yeah.
Cars?
People don't know enough about electric drive systems to even begin to understand the longevity thing.
Cars, buyers of news cars aren't interested in them running forever. Most people buying new cars want new cars. They chase..whatever, And don't run them into the ground.
In a truck? Holy schizzz. No oil changes, no filter changes, routine maintenance becomes inspection and chasis lube. You could cut PM intervals, better watch the equipment, And spend way fewer hours annually doing it. $$$
Monitor bearing temps and amp draws and most issues are easily foreseen by the operator or a simple computer warning.
In these days of expensive diesel/labor and schidtty engines, these truck will go like hotcakes if they work out half decently. For delivery/terminal to terminal work, the gains will encourage companies to work through a lot of issues as long as they believe there will be success.
Bet they would need a substation to handle the power demands of a couple LTLs in close proximity.
Sure might be interesting. I can envision those LTLS setting up charging stations near terminals, some truck swapping scheme paying shuttle drivers. Head bumpers swapping trucks at charging terminals.
We shall see. Wright boys gotta break the gravity barrier, before Yeager can break the sound barrier.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

For sinus sufferers:
If you are doing a sinus flush, add a tablespoon or two of xylitol to a quart of saline solution.
Xylitol is the sugar found in some trees, such as birch. It prevents bacteria from forming colonies/clumps, which is bacteria's defensive mechanism.
If you buy Xlear nasal spray, that is what you are getting, but much more expensive.
Xylitol is typically available at health food stores. You can use it as a sweetener, but go easy on it. It creates a lot of gas.

Glad you’re feeling better.
I’m curious about that test that quantifies viral load that is done in the office and not in a laboratory.

You really want to take aspirin with Covid. It has its own anti viral properties but way more importantly it “lubricates” blood. Anti coagulant and anti inflammatory properties. People get strokes and heart attacks from Covid. Aspirin is proven to help with these issues. As for ivermectin it has few if any side effects. If you have worms you’ll get diarrhea. The only side effect it had for me was it knocked out my Covid symptoms in 8 hours. This +10 worked twice for me last year. You can lead them to water but......mb
