Also, before the "hurrr durrr we'll build more fast charge stations", how about places where power is provided by generator? i.e every camp (logging, mining, fishing, industry) job ever. I'd just love to see the genset requirements of charging heavy equipment and trucks.

Also, the time factor. Sure you can in theory fast charge a car in 20 mins, but a piece of equipment? A one ton truck? probably an hour at least. Operations do not have an hour every 4-8 hours to charge stuff, it's 10 mins every 10 hours to fuel machines and change operators.

Sure, replace your average civic or corolla, or crv/cx5 with electric vehicles, I think we'll always have ICE trucks and sports cars.

These are the exact problem innovators will have to solve.
