Factually incorrect video: At 26 seconds in it states this toy truck is a zero emission toy truck. Yet 80 percent of the electricity to charge its double A battery is generated by burning fuel which creates emissions. So its only zero emission if you don't use it, which any vehicle is.

An interesting view.
Besides, we will soon be at war with China. Good luck getting lithium.

Do they forget the immense pollution just to make the batteries. Far worse than a diesel rig.

And still that cabin, which is very impractical (https://www.the-sun.com/motors/6924543/truck-driver-exposes-major-problems/) in real trucking.

Once “they” get America only getting power from the grid, they will raise the prices.
Electricity will become the new oil. Except there's no separation between home and car, lose one lose both.

Nuclear reactors do not produce air pollution or carbon dioxide while operating, but their waste is another issue.
Nuclear Fusion and/or Near Perpetual Motion generators. There is no carbon emitted from car nor grid.
Unfortunately we'll probably not see that until around 2050.

Here comes the competition. Range 500 km
They asked Scottie to test drive it but he had a prior commitment and was forced to turn them down.
Bis spater!

Well I drove 470 miles Saturday. My wife and I drove over to Beeville Texas to watch the Ring Of Fire eclipse. Then hit a few antique places on the way back home. I didn't even burn near a tank of diesel in my Denali HD.

Typical lying EV cuck attempting to draw attention away from the fact it was the Lithium battery in this Diesel HYBRID range rover that started the fire not the diesel fuel itself. It is impossibile for a diesel fire to burn through concrete :salute
If EV is so great right? Why do people like Mano feel the need to try and push it down everyone's throat? If a product is good you will not need any advertising.

I'm surprised nobody ever took the electric retarder hardware and used it as a motor/generator coupled with proper hybrid electronics to make a semi into a hybrid.
It would not be a benefit on routes with very little elevation change but would pay off on mountanous routes.
