This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It might not be for your area, but maybe your usecase is the more niche one? Imagine something like this in NYC, Detroit for e.g. delivering parcels. And if the battery is empty? Well the cargo space also will be empty so you can have it loaded up at the fulfillment center and also recharged - while the driver hops into the next already loaded vehicle. That's easily doable because hey it's just 10k.
Are you sure it always will work that way? Logistics can be a real bitch. Returning back to the fulfillment center has costs you need to consider. What's the range reduction when fully loaded? When you need to run the heater and air conditioner?
