None of these political or corporate “green” people give a damn about you or your family or the “global climate”. What they do care about is money and power.
A Tesla model 3 car uses approximately 13kw/100km, how many kw/100km would an electric truck use? If we have power shortages now, where is the power going to come from to supply all the electric vehicles?
Electric trucks are stupid. Especially for big rigs and long distance haulers. Hydrogen Fuel-cell is much better. Purely Battery Electric trucks need HUUUGE batteries (which are expensive and weigh a ton). It may cost energy (electrolyisis) to produce but charging a truck is a helluva lot slower than refilling a hydrogen tank, lithium cell degradation diminishes the battery's capacity over time and hydrogen trucks are much safer than pure battery electric trucks if the kevlar fuel tank is ruptured when compared to a punctured or damaged battery that explodes and takes hundreds of thousands of gallons to extinguish and can reignite itself multiple times days after initially being extinguished.
The transport industry is Australia's second largest polluter by sector. Thankfully, we now have a responsible government in office that not only supports the science of climate change, it is actively doing many things – such as this – toward addressing it. Well done Team Left! Keep 'em coming!
The new Mercedes ev comes with a $1200 usd per year subscription for the performance upgrade 🤔🤬 so you never fully own the whole vehicle just the hardware gotta pay each year for the software so it works
Ah yes. That mystical electric delivery vehicle that can make deliveries of heavy packages from 9-5 everyday. Can’t wait for the battery to end up in a landfill a year later. 😂
They’ll be sending gas powered service vehicles with diesel generated chargers to save these trucks when they strand and can’t get people what they need. Fast tracking empty shelves this initiative is.
I wonder how long it will take for people to realize the about the damage done while stripping the earth the rare minerals to make these batteries. Let's not discuss the strip mining that leaves dead spots that never recover, or the children being used in places to mine them either.
Stunt
Lol…

I read an article today that the Volvo truck's have 6.5tonne over the front axle which doesn't meet Australian standards 🙄
So now we the people are giving companies money to buy new trucks aye. Where am I? Mars?

Labor just gave $20 Million or your money to their friends, this is not a loan it is a give away.
My vision off tonight. I thought the two white trucks were sneakers until I looked closer.
NO THANKS!!!!, NEVER 👎🏻
How much do they cost each? What is their range?
and it takes fossil fuels to charge it
Made in China?
Lol 😂 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 they'll go flat with in 4 hours

That will make electricity cheaper!
Idiots.
What a joke. If it was viable, they'd fund it themselves.
Powered by diesel generators

How many hours will those trucks work each day? How long until they pay for themselves (my guess is probably never).
How often do they catch fire. We saw in hurricanes ev's catch fire cause danger for rescue teams in usa
You mean coal powered trucks
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. No, I can't.

We have an Electric Bus here in Southern California.
It is moved, by flat bed diesel truck, to different locations as a campaign for clean air.
the tesla truck cant actually tow anything and takes a day or two to charge, so be sure to fill that delivery truck up! lol
These electric vehicles are volatile fire hazards.
A complete scam
CAN U.S.A. GET ONE LOOK AT IT ITS COOL BUT I CHOOSE HYBRID
To transport paper cups.

Clown planet
where did that $20 000 000 come from the Australian Tax Payer the plebs that just keep on giving
Perfect for their woke LNP to virtue signal to their good friends in the ALP
