I am interested in purchasing A fully electric 18 ton truck for carrying Antiques stock as I am trying to start my own business as an mobile Antiques Dealer.
Sadly on the part of Nikola One we have never even seen it move, I'm really not sure if they have any working models at all.
Imagine if Tesla came out with an electric bus or coach!
I'm waiting for an electric Mercedes Sprinter.
Driverless cars will go hand in hand with the cashless economy. Do people not realise that these two things will strip away the last remaining freedoms we have? When some else has control of your money and your transportation, you my friend, will be a slave.
Is there any EV powertrain (EV or Serial Hybrid) based pickup trucks that at are out or are planned (except for the Tesla project)?
I would think the advantages of an EV powertrain hybrid pickup truck. Like lots of low end torque and and added fuel efficiency from regenerative braking, etc. Would have created a Chevy Volt or Nissan E-Power like pickup truck in the market by now?
why no mention of BYD buses????
The overly repetitive music detracts from the video. Also, never try to talk over music. Automatic thumbs down for that.
As long as the petrodollar stands, electric cars busses and trucks will newer be a big thing.
The expansion of the EV technology continues and now we can witness how electric motors are being installed in large cargo trucks and city buses to make them greener and more efficient. But is this the transport of the future?
