Electric car technology has certainly progressed a fair bit during the last few years. We have increased range, reduced charging times, and clever tech like autopilots. However, battery technology alone hasn’t become much for efficient than it used to be. You see, the reason we are getting more miles and shorter charging times is the fact that manufacturers are just installing larger batteries. Also, the chargers are more powerful; therefore, charging the batteries is quicker. In small and lightweight vehicles this isn’t a problem; however, when it comes to big trucks, we have an issue. The batteries become so large that we start to question whether this is good for the environment or not. But, that’s not all.

10/10 Electric Trucks Aren’t That Good For The Environment

An electric pickup truck like the Hummer features such a large battery pack that weighs roughly as much as a small city car. Still, it only manages to achieve roughly 350 miles of range as the whole car weighs upwards of 9,000 pounds. How can a truck this heavy that features such large batteries made of precious metals be considered environmentally friendly? Yes, it produces zero emissions when it drives by, but the whole production process is taxing on the environment.
