Re: All electric AD truck out of Lake Tahoe on Ebay?

The current capacity of that bank of batteries could probably turn the whole truck red hot in seconds. I wonder what would happen to a person laying on them.

Sure nobody would do that, but well, they do...

We've tamed (right) electricity over 100 years, much as we've learned (the hard way) neuclear radiation is dangerous.

The point is, we use (AC) electricity in small benign doses these days.

Electric cars take us back to the wild wild west days of massive doses (current, or flow) of electricity to move large masses quickly.

Milliamps will electrocute a human.
These cars run on hundreds of amps...
