Couple Tries Electric Truck and Had to Stop Every 100 Miles

I also just read an interesting article about cabover trucks: https://www.smart-trucking.com/cabovers-make-a-comeback/.  Cabovers are no longer popular here but are popular for the European road system.  I wonder if cabover or conventional hood trucks are better for the electric format.

COE is ubiquitous in Europe because of overall length restrictions.  Aerodynamics are more challenging that with a conventional North American hood.  Both have different advantages and disadvantages as an EV.

Does a consumer (small) electric vehicle need auxiliary heating or cooling of the battery pack? 

If you want to “fast charge” (sneer quotes because even double the speed of the fastest chargers is still glacially slow vs diesel pumps) you MUST have liquid cooling.  Otherwise you’ll cook the batteries and their life span will be negligible.  Also, the batteries have to be heated in cold climates or your range goes to nothing.
