An in-the-works brewery goes off the grid

Chicago’s Smallest, Greenest Food Truck
Chicago’s Smallest, Greenest Food Truck
This tiny, all-electric truck has a top speed of 26 MPH and a range of 30 miles on a full charge. The truck runs on nine, 8-volt gel batteries that recharge via a 72-volt DC charger, which plugs into a wall outlet. Sebastian calculates that Patsy costs 1.5 cents per mile in electricity to operate, whereas an SUV or small truck that gets 14 MPG costs 29 cents per mile in gasoline. A large food truck probably gets even worse mileage.
