A succulent meal?
The trucking industry just looked at BYD’s 11 minute to full charge battery and shit their fucking pants. It should be good for at least a million miles, which is the overhaul interval for a modern diesel engine. Then the battery has paid itself off 5 times over.
Now that’s a lot of energy and it won’t be 11 minutes in a big truck. But truckers are legally required to take rest stops and a half hour charging break is plenty of time.
Fuelling a big truck or my bus takes 15 minutes and you need to babysit that high flow fuel nozzle. This is superior in every way. Plug in, wander into the truck stop, get a snack, take a shot, get a quick hummer from a lot lizard and off you go.
Battery life and cost are one thing, but reliability and build quality are several issues that need to be addressed. There’s a reason people around the world pay a premium for vehicles made by Kenworth and Peterbuilt. I am sure they would like to incorporate advanced battery technology into their existing Class 6-8 trucks.
I’m not taking a delusional stance about American trucks and how they will win every time. There’s plenty of lower tier trucks that sell across he world. If you talk to people in the trucking industry, you really start to understand how much reliability and build quality mean when you are constantly on the road.
Industrial espionage them in this industry, maybe?
These are decades of using currency exchange rates and cheap foreign labour to increase company profits coming home to roost.
Quick! Put up tariffs, do nothing and then demand fuel subsidies when oil hits $150
No single company will own electric vehicles like no individual company owns the gas vehicle market.
China kicking our asses is incentive to stop fucking around trying to block EVs with legislation, and to get to work ourselves.
according to reddit lately the EU is a rotten corpse that is crying at the moon at night while hoping for someone, anyone, to just shoot it out of its misery
propaganda used to be more subtle, and effective
seeing the germans go through what we went through with the market being flooded with Chinese goods its sad to see…….good luck
if they are that good that they blow the existing trucks out of the water how is it bad thing? wont it reduce trucking costs immensely? so much stuff is moved all over the place over and over again its hard to see the downside
When we been outsourcing everything, they have been taking notes for a long time. They rolling back to gold since usd is printed, they control the refineries of the resources for future tech. They own more than 70 percent of Ai patents. I mean currently U.S still too dog but how long I don’t know , especially with the move of quantum. They are past eating what the world offers. Last year when they had their Brics meet, guess who is in the middle and looked like a coronation for them.
We come up with new excuses to not invest in EVs and kept kicking the can down the road.
We even put up various trade barriers to give the manufacturers one last chance.
This is inevitable.
Do they stop any faster and safer on iced roads ?
Sitting on your hands does that. Get complacent and be left behind. Not sorry.
It’s not ‚will‘, they’ve had lunch and are eating our dinner, currently on dessert at this point. All Europe and the US have done is tariff to protect their legacy car industries rather than actually do some innovation.
