What's wrong with this? While this isn't strictly an EV, I think this
is one of the more striking recent announcements. Everything they need
to be successful already exists and is proven. They just need to be
able to produce. Sure, we don't know if they operating costs will
really be half and how that will play into an operator's overall
purchase justification.

Nikola Motor Co., named after electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla, has
announced that it's developing a 2,000-hp, all-wheel-drive,
hybrid-electric
truck-tractor with a turbine range extender whose operating costs will
be
one-half that of a diesel tractor.
