    Don’t worry. The trucks were covered by a $20 million government grant, and an additional $40k per vehicle.

    The fuck.

      You read that wrong.

      From the article: "Interestingly, 32 of Pepsi’s semi trucks were covered by a $20 million state government grant, while federal subsidies pay for up to $40,000 per additional vehicle. "

      The “additional 40k” was for only 4 vehicles.
