@Sea1Am@mastodon.social @pinhman@humanwords.party @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca Others who do over 500 miles daily and 7 days a week do not have that privilege òr it would be nice if there was some travel via above ground to cost less repair work and better rates... sorry so much could be better if others were allowed to have their ideas done .. but greed has always hidden better things

@Lstn2urmama@mstdn.ca @Sea1Am@mastodon.social @pinhman@humanwords.party the folks doing 500km a day - truckers - are in a different class of vehicle. A class that theoretically should be much easier to electrify than consumer vehicles. But as we saw with the startup in B.C. making electric logging trucks, the provincial and federal governments not only aren’t interested in supporting them, they continue to support systems that make it very hard for businesses to innovate in transportation. For the rest of us though, the vast majority of cars and trucks on the road do no more than 100km a day. My commute is on the high end, 160km a day, and I have been doing it in an EV since 2019. Technology and capability is not the problem anymore. It is *all* about governments and corporations wanting to continue the status quo at all cost. https://sustainablebiz.ca/edison-motors-set-to-begin-building-hybrid-electric-semi-trucks-in-bc
