![]() ![]() Section 4: President & Congress Subject: Electric trucks Msg# 1195446

Here's an extended topic, going beyond failures in EV cars, busses and bikes, over to electric trucks.
Perhaps you'll get a big chuckle from this report. Quote: "A new electric truck will come with its own gas generator to improve reliability. That may sound like a headline from The Onion. But it’s no joke. . . . called the Ramcharger, it has an electric battery — and a 27-gallon gas tank." Within its a range of 690 miles, only 145 miles comes from the fully charged electric battery. The rest comes from gasoline recharging. Seems the result of being pushed by govt EV mandates, as well as the pinch of 49 MPG gasoline standards, has come up with a creative way -- abide by the letter of the regulations while still giving customers the dependability of fossil fuels. Too bad such creative thinking isn’t applied to designing products people want-- rather than jumping through hoops set by government bureaucrats.
The new Ramcharger truck is expected to go on sale in late 2024. That Ramcharger truck may also offer a diesel generator option. |
