Yeah, I’ve checked it out. The new truck’s got a fat lithium‑ion pack instead of a fat diesel tank. No more exhaust hiss, just a quiet hum. The batteries are lighter than a tank of fuel but still heavy, so the truck feels a bit like a loaded truck on a bike. The range is decent, but it’s still not the same instant kick you get from a spark turning a piston. The old rigs had the smell and the vibration you could feel in your gut – that’s something the electric guys can’t fully replace. If you’re into ripping engines apart, the electric thing’s more about swapping batteries than tearing pistons. That’s the deal.

Sure thing. On a long haul the battery will put out a steady punch, but you’re looking at maybe a 300‑400 mile range before you hit the recharge pad. Regenerative braking is mostly smooth – it’ll suck back some energy when you slow, but if you’re pushing hard it can feel a little snappy, almost like a brake that’s a bit too eager. A diesel rig runs on a full tank that’s 15‑20 hours of work, and you can top it up on the fly. The electric one gives you a hard, instant torque, but you’ll have to plan a recharge every couple of days unless you’re in a system with fast chargers. So a day in the life: diesel you’re just revving and filling up, electric you’re mapping out stops, watching the charge meter, and hoping the next charging station is where you need it. Diesel’s routine, electric’s more about timing and planning. That's the lowdown.

That sounds like a ride. Keep an eye on the dashboard and grab coffee while the battery’s at 20 percent. I’ll ping you if I hear about a quick‑charge stop that doesn’t cost the whole engine room. Good luck with the vlog, just don’t forget to put a spare in the trunk.

Sounds good, just keep that spare in the back and don’t let the coffee run out. See you on the road.
