I used to work for a company who was working on an EV for mining.

The business plan was.......interesting.

The machine must function for a minimum of 12 hours a day with 12 hour recharge.

The batteries alone weigh more than 1/3 of the vehicle weight.
And if you know mining equipment you will know that's in the tonnes,

The assembly of the batteries is so hazardous that it will require specialist trading and equipment.
If an assembler manages to short the batteries, there will be a flash and then a morgue vehicle.

It was a nightmare, and as far as I know, 5 years later, they are still working on it.
