Something you may find interesting is an article I found just this week on the rising costs of EV'S.
This article appeared just this week when the EPA was discussing their new mandates on NOX. I'll copy it over. The cost of these EV hydrogen trucks is much higher than I even thought. Add in the extra weight, who is going to buy these units. TOTAL COST OF OPERATION! NatGAS is the answer.
“No testimony presented a solution as to how to pay for an accelerated ‘green transportation’ transition,” he said. “With the cost of new heavy-duty electric trucks costing well over $400,000 per vehicle, and fuel cell vehicles estimated to cost even more, trucking fleets simply cannot afford the up-front costs to buy new trucks that are three to four times more expensive than their clean diesel counterparts.”
Conclusion: Westports phones must be ringing off the hook as of late!!!
