I run 105,500 pounds loaded each day, over mountain passes. Refueling takes 5-8 minutes every 700-800 miles and I can get diesel anywhere along my widely varying routes.
Being in the Pacific Northwest and transporting propane as my only commodity, winters are my busy season - also over snowy mountain passes and at temperatures that are far below optimal battery operating conditions.
My fuel costs in CY 2022 were $117,000 - more than double what they were during President Trump’s tenure - or 27% of my gross revenue.
I’ll keep my old 3406E Cat motor, thank you.
“- also over snowy mountain passes and at temperatures that are far below optimal battery operating conditions.”
Batteries generate their own heat and are regulated to operate at optimum temperature.
