Lots of Rapid Change Seen for Trucking, Truck Making

"One aspect of electric that will help work out the cost aspect is that “electric vehicles are more friendly to components.”
Transmissions could move from the traditional location right behind the engine, and would only need two to four speeds.
“You get a far broader power band with an electric motor than with a diesel engine,” Craig said. Accessories operated by belt drives off the engine “would be going away.”
He also said there would be less need for brakes, therefore they would last longer and chassis could be completely reconfigured."
I love how they're pushing this idea so hard with no plans for actually making it work. Electric cars have notoriously short ranges, and electric trucks aren't going to be any better.Lots of Rapid Change Seen for Trucking, Truck Making

Not to mention manufacture & disposal of all these batteries...I love how they're pushing this idea so hard with no plans for actually making it work. Electric cars have notoriously short ranges, and electric trucks aren't going to be any better.
Of course, the long haul stuff will all be put on the electrified railway anyway. Has anyone considered how they're going to generate all of this electricity?
I heard they were going to have Big Dave wave his hat at the wind farms to help speed up wind velocity on days when the wind is calm so the turbines will put out top voltage.I love how they're pushing this idea so hard with no plans for actually making it work.
