    They had better include fire departments in their infrastructure plans, so far, they have had little luck extinguishing EV fires from cars. Electric trucks are going to have much larger battery packs and are going to create much larger fires. As far as driver safety goes, there is only seconds from the time smoke starts rising and the bursting into flames occurs with EV's, how many drivers will burn up in their sleep?

    I'm sure she's good at pullin', after all she has had a lot of practice...however, football is about football not who's getting pulled by some skank.

    Having observed the NFL for about 5 decades I’m surprised some of the members of this forum want to believe the family of players deserve better. There’s been lots of ###### and skanks in the players section for a long time just not as rich and famous.

    Thank you interesting read.

    Noticed Prologis Inc, one of the big commercial/industrial park developers, is part of the program.

    Also that the key players are not necessarily pouring money into it, not developing any real product, more of an information resource and consultancy service:
    "Rather PACT’s primary purpose is to educate stakeholders about infrastructure challenges that hinder medium- and heavy-duty ZEV adoption in the marketplace and work with stakeholders to find solutions for the benefit of all interested parties. "

    As an example:
    "Most Averitt facilities are domiciles for more than 100 power units. “Most of these facilities would require a new electrical substation to be built to charge fleets of this scale,” Williams added."

    Valid concerns.

    Fixes are in the works or have entered production. Tesla has already changed over production on some models to a different, less flammable LFP battery chemistry. Other major players are heading toward LFP batteries also.

    Solid state batteries are in development also. These are also designed to not have "thermal events".
