A test would have exposed this, that is, if anyone was watching.. That they didn’t should have been a red flag.

When I worked in automotive fleet purchases, it wasn’t uncommon to do so and this was with major manufacturers. In this situation, we’re talking about a different technology with which few people have had much experience.

Really, I can’t even fathom a blunder of this size. It has happened with solar, though.
