    Who would have thought making a chassis out of a material that is denser than mild steel would result in a vehicle that is heavier? It’s a truck, horrible aero drag and rolling resistance from the get go. Difficult to imagine a worse target for an EV project.

      It has a conventional chassis. Only the panels are SS.

      The extra weight is entirely due to the weight of the batteries.
