That's because your reading comprehension is lacking.
The downvote posts are about government and EV fanboys forcing the issue before the tech makes sense.
It's stupid shite like this (note, paywall article but all yo uneed is the headline) CA Gas-Powered cars banned in 2035 that burn the credibility of the pro-EV crowd.
Why the force? Even if it's not til 2035... which meand it'll have effects kicking in way before 2035.

How does the extra length affect bridge laws?
What about the extra weight impact the amount of cargo weight?
If you think inflation is bad now, wait until trucking companies are forced to adopt something like this.

No. It's because most people choose to talk about lack of range or towing capacity instead of talking g about government overreach.
Which I'm 100% against by the way. The free market will have the vast majority or drivers in EVs within a generation anyway. It's inevitable with or without government intervention.

"One out of every five public charging attempts is a failure," says Krear.
Findings from a 2022 University of California, Berkely study showed that one-quarter of public chargers in the San Francisco Bay Area didn't work due to "unresponsive or unavailable screens, payment system failures, charge initiation failures, network failures, or broken connectors".

They're about EV range or how they don't want to sit for 45 minutes while it charges and there aren't enough charging stations. The vast majority of drivers in the US rarely go more than 50 miles from their home anyway. Except for posters on this board, who apparently all do three or four 500 mile round trips each week while towing 15 tons on supplies uphill both ways in the snow.
EVs are very practical for most people assuming you have a home that you can put a charging port in and don't have to rely on charging stations.
We own 3 ICE Vehicles. 2 get right at 40 MPG. The third gets 12. I drive 92 miles a day. My wife just started teleworking full time about 4 months ago so she has no commute. We could EASILY get by with one EV with a 120 or so mile range about 95% of the time.

That actually isn’t a bad thing. You can’t steal a dead EV.

it's a hybrid
What i find interesting is how many people gloss over the fact that BEV and PHEV are complimentary, not competition. PHEV has benefited more from BEV R&D than anything else. BESS tech from early gen hybrids was a fricking joke and they didn't start getting decent BESS units until massive amounts of funding went into BEV development.

Shouldn't affect bridge law, because of the extra drive axle.
The bridge law covers the distance between trailer axles and drive axles. You would still move your trailer axles to balance the load the same way.

That would be the question, but I think changes would be made to accommodate this type setup.

I’m in Utah right now and they have some crazy long rigs running around.

But the government isn't allowing for those 2 conditions.. it is forcing and that's why people are bitching...

The talking points are all about BEV, but in reality PHEV is getting the same investment and actually benefitting more because they get to combine decades of ICE subsidized R&D with current BESS R&D. But every time bootyjudge and potatus say EV it pisses people off.

Then bitch about the government. That's fine and I'm on board with it. I'll join you. But frankly I think its un-American to despise a new and emerging technology. One of the things that makes this country great is our ingenuity and willingness to take risks.
