No one commenting on the fact that the first paragraph says it doesn't even CONSUME energy????
Technically it would be impossible to consume energy unless converting it into mass (or time I guess but thats purely theoretical)
I think it's clear they are sensationalizing it due to the unique nature of the energy used, which is external potential energy that needed to get down the hill whether it's a gas or electric truck.
