6 dollar a gallon fuel !

Nikola is all electric not hydrogen

 

Should drivers go door to door all night asking other drivers to stop idling? How many idling trucks does it take before a driver wanting to not idle rolls up his windows & idles? If you aren't paying for the fuel you have no right to dictate their idle time.

 

Where from electricity will come? Solar panels or wind mill?

 

That's okay. Lots of room in Politics if they start getting rowdy in the main forum. I hate to send those guys to Politics though. Some of them never come back.

 

So do I.

 

you have the windows open in your office?

 

I like to sneak in there whenever I feel bad about myself. Then I come back to reality and realize my life isn't so bad

 

Not really. Using the HVAC when sitting still uses the same amount of energy in an electric vehicle as an ICE, just in a different manner. There is still maintenance, and the electric bill for recharging those things will be insane! It will cost about 2 kWh/mile to operate in optimal conditions, and closer to 8 kWh/mile in normal operations (stop/go, acceleration, climbing grades, and the regenerative braking isn't all that great)... so at an average of 16 cents per kWh, its still will cost $1.28/mile. I'm not sure about your operation, but ours, at $5/gallon, costs $0.59/mile for fuel. They would have to cut the price of electricity in half for it to be competitive.

I love hearing the arguments about "no maintenance" of EVs that completely ignore tires, brakes, bearings, rubber components, cooling systems, and the super-expensive battery packs. If that requires replacement every 250,000 miles (the cars average 200k), that will likely be a high-5 to low 6-figure repair bill.
