Deep Space Solar Energy and Tesla Semi Fleet! It's ABN September

The month ABN comes with news from outer space. Can we harness solar energy from deep beyond the galaxy? Pepsico has a whole fleet of Tesla Semi's which are achieving amazing distances on single charges. Meanwhile, The Sun are at it again by regurgitating the same old anti-EV headlines out by the bucketload. Also, we hear some myth-busting, battery recycling, electric tugboats and buses, and a floating wind farm.
