Small problems. They should have several battery rotation stations spread out everywhere.

I wonder if their trucks can do 8 hours of driving without refueling?

If it were such an easy problem, why don't you fix it? Can become rich as well.

This is a timing and operations issue. In 17 years, better crafted solutions will appear. Any fix right now would only last five years.

The problem is more optimized for manufacturers.

So you think they should buy triple the number of battery packs they actually need, in order to support snow plowing 3 or 4 times a year?

Oh, and don't forget creating fully staffed battery depots scattered around the already very full city?

It is not just for snow plowing. It is also for garbage collection. At snow plow time, other city fleets of trucks are not moving. So that supplies the other battery packs.
