well it's a contradiction
the truck can't be "pure" electric if there is a diesel component on it.
you're trying to have it both ways telling us that it is 'pure electric' but oh yeah, there is this diesel engine on there too just to keep the battery charged.
So now not only does the customer have to worry about the battery and electric part of the truck they also have to worry about the diesel and fuel part too.
What i'm saying here is if your promoting 'going green' having that diesel engine on there contradicts the 'getting rid of fossil fuels' agenda that i keep hearing those carbon free supporters touting all the time. If we look at it from that standpoint your hybrid truck will become obsolete before you even get it off the ground good if they get what they want.
And besides that, havn't i seen you say more than once that diesel engines will be a thing of the past very soon? That also makes it very confusing that you would build a truck with diesel technology on it if diesel power is going to be extinct in the near future because of the carbon free initiative.
Get my drift?
