Test crashes suggest guardrails no match for heavy electric vehicles
Insanity
Heavy batteries are a physics problem that can be fixed.
I love the old Dodges, but it was widely known that while the drivetrains were generally reliable, the front ends, particularly the ball joints, were wanting, and often gave out prematurely.
I would hate to think what a ton of batteries would do to a Dodge Dart front end, possibly rip the torsion bars right out.
TeslaHumper will be upset about that. You’re not supposed to talk about it
Shovel ready jobs upgrading all the roads and highways.
It’s entertaining to me that the heavy EVs shred tires leading to even more micro plastics in the environment.
Sadly, I think one of our local HEB stores is building a strip of EV charging stations. They are going to force EVs on us whether we want them or not.
Will bridges support them ? Nope
No worries! Every problem has a solution.
I propose attaching helium balloons to each EV to balance things out.
That’s why I’m working on the static electricity car.
It just needs a push from a small battery.
The exterior is all balloon rubber material.
And as it moves through the air it generates electricity.
you might want to tie your hair back because static hair can impair visibility.
More asphalt damage, more potholes for Mayor Peter Eater to fix.
Internal Combustion Engine engineers and employees are too heavy a burden for our Corporation. Gotta cut them out.
“While it’s unclear how much the Tesla Semi weighs without a trailer, the truck’s battery pack alone could weigh as much as 11,000 pounds”
Pepsico explained that it uses most of its 21 Tesla Semi electric trucks for deliveries within 100 miles with several stops. They operate for up to 12 hours a day.
Dejan Antunovic, electrification program manager at Pepsico, explained that three of the Tesla Semi trucks are dedicated to long-haul trucking, with routes that vary between 250 to 450 miles.
To support that, Tesla has been installing 750 kW Megachargers at Pepsico facilities. They enable charging to 80% capacity in less than 45 minutes.
Pepsico noted the difficulty of installing that much charging power at a facility and said that they will use what they learned from this experience to plan for future depots that will be electrified.
