Normally I'd agree with you, but the article goes to great lengths trying to explain the concept as text, but it's damn near incomprehensible to non automotive engineers until watching the video.
Depends on where you are, gas use is very rare here. Anyway the energy cost is a negligible part, you can halve or double it and it won't change the business case.
This shirt stuff sometimes happens in Finland too, in spite of the majority of the population speaking English. A major supermarket chain was selling a child sized t-shirt with the print:
Bread in Finland is about 0.1 usd per slice
Low quality cheese is about 8 usd / kg, assuming you need about 20g/portion that's 0.16 usd.
Total is about 36c per portion.
If we assume power consumption of 5kw for the whole operation and power cost of 20c/kWh, that's 1usd/h
Assuming sales of 60 units per hour -one per minute, thats 60 usd of revenue per hour and 22.6 usd of non labor cost, it leaves 37.4e for labor, taxes, permits, tools, fuel.
It's at least only feasible in high volume locations.
Is there a license requires for driving a snowmobile in your country? Is it a government issued licence or an insurance thing? I have driven them, but I think here a normal driver's license is enough and even that is only needed when driving on streets (which is often not permitted and even more often impractical).

The biggest problem is the UI. The only major improvement was the transition from multi window to single window with tabs, around 2012 or so.
It feels like using a hammer with a purple dildo for a handle. I can do it after 10 years of getting the hang of swinging around the wobbly thing. Meanwile the rest of the world transitioned to battery driven nailguns and I'm still swinging my dilmer with a slightly more rigid handle.
The judgy look from the cat makes me feel so guilty afterwards. It's like 'I trusted you enough to groom my balls in your presence and this is what you do?'
