Bust: NYC Electric Garbage Trucks Lasted Only 4 Hours In Cold
Batteries failed across the nation during the worst storm/cold snap in modern history. NYC's garbage trucks were expected to deliver 12 hours of snow plowing but conked out after 4 hours. EV car owners reported they had trouble getting home because they ha...
The current battery technology used is not good enough to be reliable. There is better but it is not on a wide scale availability and I think it is on purpose. Still better of with gas and people with jobs.
...exactly....
Haha says Nelson
The garbage trucks plowed the snow?
...that is the way they do it in NYC....
Seriously....I've never heard that. Thanks!
many cities use garbage trucks to plow snow. I wonder how long it takes and how much it cost to charge an electric garbage truck. these people are stupid and NY city will not get their trash picked up either.
I couldn't agree more. The fkwits in my town have electric cop cars; not sure how many but I do know that they need to keep the cars on all night. Everything these shbags do is expensive, stupid and not what the people want. One of the issues with the stupid EVs is how LONG it takes to charge them and then how pitifully far they can go before they're out of juice. Take away their unconstitutional property taxation and all this ends in a heartbeat.
I'm set'n up a GoFundMe for Elon. Who's with me?
...he did loss 200 Billion this year, so I suppose a little juice in his battery wouldn't hurt...
,,,howls....
What a shock. These idiots assume the weather will be perfect all the time or something?
...howls...
Fucking morons. combustion or bust. Even diesels need to be kept in a warm place when not running lest they freeze, hell, low idle can freeze a diesel if it's cold enough [-40*F or colder] We are governed by absolute fucking morons.
