From Trucked Up EVs.
Well, for anyone worried about there not being enough EV truck news out there, I’ve got a volunteer editing job for them!
In this month’s Trucked Up(date), Tesla, Scout Motors, Slate Auto, & GM all had important developments in the space, and the EV news coming out of the world, including now in the US, is all going in the right direction – and fast!
I also celebrate you in the video, along with all the Trucked Up folk sending in their pics and stories. I always love to hear from you so keep it coming!
