Remember that time Elon said he was making a semi-truck? 😂😂
Anyway, here's a real company making a real-life truck.
Up to 600km range.
20-80% fill in 50-85min
six-speed transmission
13-tonne axle
GCW of up to 48T with payload of 28T.
These are the things we need to be doing for those “last mile" applications where electrified (catenary) rail is not possible.
The preview doesn't seem to be happening on the Inside EV website so I added a screenshot.

Never mind the fossil "sideshow," #renewables have won: #Electrification is the new policy battlefront

Note: no Volvo semi-truck toot can be complete without a link to the Epic Split. #Enya #JCVD

Electrification must be accelerated! Including at the municipal level with things like electric garbage trucks (like in Cowichan), zambonis (like in Port Alberni), and Vancouver’s fire trucks!
@… asked the question recently at a council meeting!
"Cator… estimated that the savings in fuel from the electric garbage truck would be in the tens of thousands of dollars per year at the current prices of diesel.
“It’s just one of our four garbage trucks, but it’s definitely a substantial savings,”
