Wow, the truck turned out gorgeous! This whole story is awesome. That's really great your friend was able to get the truck done that fast. I hope they keep the truck forever!

Thanks, for the kind words, Ryan. My son (also Ryan) is really attached to this truck and I have a feeling if we still have gas powered cars when they have kids, they'll be driving this one.

I'm betting we will. The whole electric drive will be halted by the lack of network. Just wait until fleets actually try to make the change and people don't have power in their houses.

Can you immage the impack on power grids when we start charging a fleet of buses or semis? Get ready for some big increases in the cost of electricity. Portland has opted to "go electric" over diesel for their buses. Cost is astronomical and there is no model that shows them more cost effective but it sure makes the people of Portland feel good about saving the planet....
