A trillion is not even close...the power has to come from somewhere.
Wind and sun ain’t it.
EV’s are just a wet dream that will harm all of us.
You’re right. That doesn’t include the vast number of extra trucks needed to make up for untold hours of downtime during charging. It’s not just charging your rig for a few hours, it’s waiting for the four rigs in front of you. DOT hours of service are racking up and after waiting eight hours to charge, you can no drive for a whopping three hours before your time expires. This requires another driver to come and hook your trailer so he can repeat the stupidity.
Oh, and the average semi can travel 2000 miles per fillup. An OTR driver may fill up every 4 days or so, taking 30-45 minutes. the Freightliner eCascadia can go a whopping 115-230 miles on a charge.
The average semi tractor in America is 11.5 years old. EV batteries might last 5-8 years. Tesla’s cute little $200,000 number goes away real quick when you get to buy a new rig 5-10 year before your business plan called for.
EV everything is a stupid idea. EV trucks are beyond stupid.
