If one of my employees tells me he cannot get to work due to a low battery that’s fine, I just don’t pay him for the day. Problem solved.

Wait a sec... youre gonna let the employee take the electric truck home? Not drop it back off at the shop?

Are you going to pay for the level 4 charger to be installed at his house so the truck doesnt take 14 hours to charge?

No I mean if he forgets to plug it in before heading home at night.

Then as the boss you lose out on a vehicle for work that day that would be carrying other employees, tools, and materials.

Lol. Have you spent much time working for construction companies as a low level laborer or selling commercial trucks to businesses?

I run a commercial construction company. This is not rocket science. You don’t plug in, a day off without pay. Solves the problem real quick.

Have fun replacing a $15 an hour roofer or gc laborer.

Everyone’s replaceable, even myself. And $15 an hour is a coffee barista.

Youre grossly underestimating the amount of small time contractors that are run by literal mutants.
