I totally agree with Swoop 223. the only way they are going to extend the running time of the truck is to slow down the power usage to half what they normally run at. Again this would also need a 32Kwh batter pack saying 16 hours at 2Kwh per hour used.

Again charging Lithium Iron batteries at this rate even with quick "opportunity charge will need time for the battery to cool down or do they have a cooling system in the truck. This comes back to how long will it be before one of these truck catches fire.

This is will become a very important issue in the future as companies try to get customers to use Lithium iron products in the warehouse as against hydrogen fuel cells. That in this environment are safer and better on fleets of 20 trucks and over.
