I wonder how the weight of all these batteries and motors will will affect the loading capacity of these vehicles.

Given that the battery of one of the american models metioned in the clip above weighs in at 1.2t - then surely our whole licencing system will have to change...

The latest 4wd24/7 episode on YouTube discusses this from the Australian prospective. I'll watch it in full later today to see what their outcome is.

4WD 24/7 Arsetrailia will change their tune when an EV sponsor jumps on board.

Like all YouTube 'influencers' they can be bought.

I found Shauno's comments a bit disappointing on this episode.
The range is not there yet, but tech will change.
Studog and Rocket Rod on a new rival show put it better.

EV is not the future.
It's a temporary fix to an imagined problem.

Hydrogen is most likely the answer...

Yes. Yes . Yes.

Disappointing that it took you six pages to realize.

Invest in Hydrogen. 20y from now you will be a rich man.
