Will you be able to grid charge the battery? It would be a lot cheaper to recharge battery reserves from a plug, than to convert it from diesel. Can you can charge overnight and at rest stops?

That would be funny to see a big rig parked at a car charging station!

I applaud your work! Raising the fuel economy of big rigs will have the single biggest impact of energy independence and fuel consumption in America. Not just the gas we buy from the pump, but every commodity that is shipped across country.

I've worked in both grocery and retail stores, and it was eye opening to see how much we are dependent on trucks! If the trucks stopped, people would starve and there would be no economy. We just just don't live in a locally sustainable world anymore.
