> use case

You know, as a software engineer for thirty years, I was just thinking of not looking forward to the day when I started seeing this stupid term on FR. Thanks!

What are the batteries and electric drive for, on the pickup truck?

What percentage of pickups do you see with empty beds?

Won’t this truck have all of the problems of EV batteries AND electromechanical engine maintenance?

The pickup truck is a totally different, eh, “use case” than the machine you point to, which is very special.

I think I know the “use case.” It is to tick off some really stupid, wasteful, hypocritical and dangerous check boxes.

_Maybe_ the Dodge truck captures energy from braking. I don’t know. What percent of total energy is recovered?

What happens to the energy lost by the dual conversion from the V6?

Nice try.

You know, as a software engineer, one would think that reading comprehension would be a prerequisite.

I was in no way defending the Ram truck.
