California is banning diesel trucks. All of the big rig semis will be electric. Will be interesting when one bursts into flames on the Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge or in the Caldecott Tunnel

You raise a great question. I live north of Baltimore. To get south of Baltimore, you have a choice of two tunnels or a bridge. The tunnels do have some limitations for HAZMAT vehicles.

I wonder if they need to consider adding EV’s to the list and making them run 15 miles out of their way.

(One can also bypass the tunnels by driving through downtown Baltimore. It takes about 45 minutes, but at least the Squeegee boys will wash your windshield at every red light.)

One car in Texas took 30,000 gallons of water before the fire went out. Imagine how many gallons a big rig would take.
