    Nope.
    Same rules as in NY state(if i'm wrong you can tell me).
    Inside no smoking,outside terras yes if the owner allows it.


    ps i'm allowed to smoke in my cab BUT if i had 1 or more employee i would not be.
    (the law isn't enforced but it is on the books)

    @KVB has pictures of the MX set up to run on spark ignited hydrogen on his profile media page. Ignition coils same as GM LS platform! WhatsApp Image 2021-04-23 at 15.03.19 (1).jpeg I like idea of direct injection better with the dual hydrogen/Diesel injector developed between Westport and Delphi. I think hydrogen is way more logical as path forward for trucking vs battery.

    I agree. Electric just doesn't seem feasible at the moment. Charge times for the range you get just aren't efficient enough right now.

    Seen price of charger. Single truck fast charger from Paccar is about $90,000. No one wants to say true weight of truck, all of it is speculation. Wish would just lay out the facts, not political marketing.
