I read where a CEO met with DC officials . He was over 3,000 trucks. They telling him to go Electric trucks. He told them they’d have to rebuild every bridge in the U.S. They told him to go with it anyway. This means much lighter loads, more transport time due to charging times on the batteries . A Lot more time equals Higher Cost on everything. More Inflation thanks to this Administration
yes ICE trucks catch fire too, but at least they can easily put it out and traffic can carry on within a couple hours. Lithium battery fires are significantly worse. harder to put out, plus the extremely toxic fumes. People comparing ICE fires to Lithium fires need to do some research before they try to say electric is still better.
ICE cars and trucks are ALWAYS polluting toxic fumes anytime the engine is running. This is obviously not good but certainly not worse than ICE rig pollution.
@@officialyasirsorry doosh nozzle EV apologist.....ya also hafta account for production of EV's then too....and recycling the components....and also lets talk about the shitholes that the minerals are mined from....🤷♂️
CA emissions laws are so hard on everyone, and electric is Not the answer many good running big rigs can't drive in CA and this can ????? ICE less harmful without question!!!
@@SidcupRC I don't believe he's a leftie ,however all the lefties pushing for mandatory electric vehicles are. I still believe electric cars are a bad idea because of the toxic fumes due to a fires.🇺🇸
After a recent search unto how volotile lithium ion can be, how quickly it escalates, how unprepared society is to deal with these events. It has triggered a thought of how we should be handling, storing, using potential energy . Indeed there needs to be a change. People, do your research and store these batteries away from your loved ones. Not in your home, garage, or even next to orher vehicles! Its insane how quickly, without warning things go south. On the other side of the fence, i was driving in los angeles when the planes were grounded, when 90 percent of the cars were parked, when the government issued lockdown for "non- essentiall" (we are all essential!) And let me tell you that was a beautiful day. I am all for alternative power for a safer environment, but we are not there with lithium ion.
Sure, sure...this was over reaction because they should have just let it burn uncontrolled??? Or maybe they should just never have gone out to the crash? Maybe they should have just let traffic drive thru the smoke?
@@TheEVUniverse better do abit of research on percentage,if you will research the number of houses burned down by electric vehicles, compared to gas powered would open your eyes.
Good to know that liquid fueled cars / trucks never catch fire. Good to know that fueling stations never catch fire Good to know that tanker trucks never catch fire Good to know that pipe lines never catch fire Good to know that refineries never catch fire Good to know that oil wells never catch fire
@@bigrigJim Good to know that firemen originally equipped only to fight wooden house fires developed new equipment to fight all liquid fuel fires between the vehicle and the oil well.
@@bigrigJim You are missing the point that fire fighting equipment needed to evolve years ago to fight liquid fuel fires, so to will to fight EV battery fires. Years ago there were people like you whom were against liquid powered vehicles too.
