just use a normal truck then

2020-03-01 07:18:00 UTC  

Germany has plenty of rail anyway

2020-03-01 07:18:01 UTC  

these trucks can be unloaded and regular ones uses as well

2020-03-01 07:18:06 UTC  

The idea is to have an electric vehicle with a battery capacity for some 20km
And an overhead line on autobahn

2020-03-01 07:18:13 UTC  

i would like to understand the thought process for building powerlines over a highway for trucks instead of using trains 😛

2020-03-01 07:18:24 UTC  

"efficiency"

2020-03-01 07:18:38 UTC  

Yes it is about efficiency

2020-03-01 07:18:47 UTC  

build facilities closer to their destinations and not have to build rail lines through already incorporated areas

2020-03-01 07:18:51 UTC  

Electric motors are hella more efficient then fuel ones

2020-03-01 07:18:52 UTC  

If its only on autobahn i can see the usefulness of it. But i think the costs outweigh the benifits

2020-03-01 07:18:59 UTC  

why not just use a hybrid engine?

2020-03-01 07:19:06 UTC  

HAH

2020-03-01 07:19:08 UTC  

iff youre that fussy boit electricity

@Lucienne d'Anwyl the time will tell. It is still in a testing phase

2020-03-01 07:19:37 UTC  

invest money into transporters. Then that will cut traffic in half

2020-03-01 07:19:55 UTC  

Also they plan on making them driverless too

2020-03-01 07:19:58 UTC  

if we invent teleporters that will cut the traffic into 0

2020-03-01 07:20:08 UTC  

:)

2020-03-01 07:20:10 UTC  

@Uksio thats a good way to kill a lot of people

2020-03-01 07:20:14 UTC  

You can't cut by 0

2020-03-01 07:20:16 UTC  

not only are they driverless

2020-03-01 07:20:18 UTC  

that is not allowed

2020-03-01 07:20:19 UTC  

they have unreliable power

2020-03-01 07:20:24 UTC  

electric cars are only promoted because they make you more reliant on both corporate servicing as well as energy distribution monopoly

2020-03-01 07:20:43 UTC  

luci you need to stop talking about things you obviously know nothing about

2020-03-01 07:21:19 UTC

2020-03-01 07:21:30 UTC  

I mean. Its alright to theorize or shoot down ideas but dont act like you know what you are saying.

2020-03-01 07:21:59 UTC  

ok mr transport authority

2020-03-01 07:22:02 UTC  

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2020-03-01 07:22:05 UTC  

lol

2020-03-01 07:22:12 UTC  

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
