Also tesla weighs what? 800kg? and an 18 wheeler ways how much? nice thought though. One day... @LtP

Also tesla weighs what? 800kg? and an 18 wheeler ways how much?

nice thought though. One day…

Would it be comparable to the size of lithium-ion battery banks used in some all-electric cars? Is there anyone custom building such vehicles?

How much needed to power a long-haul (18 wheeler) semi-truck?
