And Uksio. EVs are not good for hauling.

2020-03-01 07:22:27 UTC  

It does make sense tho
>> you have an efficiency of an electric train
>> but unlike a train it can maneuver cargo through local roads towards the storage directly

2020-03-01 07:22:54 UTC  

trains are efficient specifically because theyre big tho

2020-03-01 07:22:56 UTC  

So it would be more permanent attachment to the power line.

2020-03-01 07:23:00 UTC  

@Louis It ain't your tesla EV <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2020-03-01 07:23:02 UTC  

trucs will always be less efficient than trains

2020-03-01 07:23:18 UTC  

and trains use a dedicated transport network

2020-03-01 07:23:19 UTC  

@Uksio I fail to see the difference

2020-03-01 07:23:21 UTC  

i guess they help maintain a medium scale transit op

2020-03-01 07:23:25 UTC  

that truck right there was driving on regular roads

2020-03-01 07:24:06 UTC  

luci be like 'we have 10 items to ship, let's wait until 100000 other people have 10 items to ship so we can use a train'

2020-03-01 07:24:12 UTC  

You think people at Mercedes/Daimler/Chrysler/Renault/Volvo/Scania/Bosh are absolute retards and don't know how to build EV haulers?

2020-03-01 07:24:28 UTC  

Those are all involved in this

2020-03-01 07:24:32 UTC  

@svarozhyc eternal question of whether to ship by truck train plane or ship

2020-03-01 07:24:49 UTC  

you can make an electric engine as powerful as you want

2020-03-01 07:24:52 UTC  

You think that they can solve an intrinsic problem with EV haulers in secret without anybody knowing about it?

2020-03-01 07:24:57 UTC  

its not like electric engines are inherently not powerful

2020-03-01 07:25:05 UTC  

what do you think theyve used in factories for a hundred years?

2020-03-01 07:25:28 UTC  

..... motors

2020-03-01 07:25:32 UTC  

not engines

2020-03-01 07:25:41 UTC  

its just the specific engines people put into small elecric cars have a reputation of being not powerful

2020-03-01 07:25:45 UTC  

Keyword **BATTERIES**

2020-03-01 07:25:55 UTC  

and?

2020-03-01 07:25:59 UTC  

that being said there are also electric sports cars

2020-03-01 07:26:07 UTC  

have you never heard of those?

2020-03-01 07:26:17 UTC  

If you have overhead freaking lines, it is irrelevant and your EV can tow the same as any railroad train

2020-03-01 07:26:38 UTC  

until the lines get taken out

2020-03-01 07:26:41 UTC  

lol

2020-03-01 07:26:47 UTC  

just add a flux compasitor and what you order today you will recieve yeasterday

2020-03-01 07:26:47 UTC  

^

2020-03-01 07:26:56 UTC  

luci is correct.

2020-03-01 07:27:19 UTC  

petrol is versatile until there's petrol

2020-03-01 07:27:19 UTC  

but yeah electric sports cars are a thing

2020-03-01 07:27:22 UTC  

🤷

2020-03-01 07:27:24 UTC  

@Lucienne d'Anwyl Electric motors in EVs are damn powerful, but they have to haul a lot more dead weight of batteries, compared to the internal combustion cars

2020-03-01 07:27:29 UTC  

Its simple. A snowstorm or power outage can destroy all shipping in trucks if this is a thing.

2020-03-01 07:27:34 UTC  

with comparable acceleration and speeds to other sports cars

2020-03-01 07:28:00 UTC  

the limiting factor right now is battery capacity

2020-03-01 07:28:06 UTC  

or you know
