The war against renewable energy

Electric Trucks in action in Germany… game over for diesel.

Lol
Won’t happen in Australia mate. Maybe between Sydney and Melbourne. Love to see a road train pulling 3-4 trailers up through the Pilbara running on electric. Won’t happen in our lifetime

Your Ignorance is strong.
Did you not see it over taken diesel trucks like they were standing still?
The amount of fuel savings makes them way more profitable than a ICE truck..
road trains? They’ll come.

Australian trucking giants to roll out another 54 electric heavy trucks and charging network

Two of Australia's biggest trucking groups land federal funds to roll out 54 electric trucks and build charging infrastructure to support them.

Your activism is compelling.

Join the ride … we are witnessing a massive shift in technology. Exciting times.
What you call activism I call mathematics…. The numbers just make sense

Just the Hume highway would need around 200MW of "firm" electricity to supply trucks.
That's the busiest road , but not the only road.
If you are correct the electricity for the trucks will keep coal going longer. Which is what i said earlier. We are putting the cart before the horse.

Then there are the logistics of charging all the trucks and the electricity infrastructure to the charging places.
Big charging stations for cars need 5000KVA transformers. Trucks will need more.

Some of the roadhouses in places like the Nullabor are actually "off grid ", massive task for them.

I'd suggest whoever is building such infrastructure won't be doing it for free.

Have you looked at the energy consumption of these first generation trucks? The amount of savings in fuel costs will be extraordinary. Around 1kWh per kilometre…
The infrastructure will come because it makes financial sense, the fuel savings will pay it off fast.

Let’s say 100 kWh per 100km @15c KWh … $15
Diesel 30lites per 100km @$1.80= $54

Saving $40 per 100kmh

Mel to syd return saving $600.
Thats over $200k savings in fuel costs per truck per year.



Trucking depots will invest in their own infrastructure.

The Hume hwy is a perfect for large charging stations, it’s close to the solar farms and hydro stations with plenty of heavy industries already established. Space is plentiful…

45 minute truck stop will add close to 4-5 hours of range.

The transition won’t take as long as people think.

Trucks and commercials operating working hours in residential areas should be an easier use cases….with the double advantage they no longer pollute residential areas

and the company is the same one accused by human rights watch of using concentration camp labour as part of its manufacturing - mind you the Europeans brands that have cars built in the PRC have the same problem so the only ethical solution is to boycott any brand made in the PRC but then we don't have the renewables we urgently need.
