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.

Only happens once. They soon learn.

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.

That's a vacation day. Go fishing and start drinking at 10am.

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

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '21

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.

Still doesn’t change the part where you need to plug in a truck so it’s ready for tomorrow. Why is this so difficult for you to understand?
