I read where a CEO met with DC officials . He was over 3,000 trucks. They telling him to go Electric trucks. He told them they’d have to rebuild every bridge in the U.S. They told him to go with it anyway. This means much lighter loads, more transport time due to charging times on the batteries . A Lot more time equals Higher Cost on everything. More Inflation thanks to this Administration
yes ICE trucks catch fire too, but at least they can easily put it out and traffic can carry on within a couple hours. Lithium battery fires are significantly worse. harder to put out, plus the extremely toxic fumes. People comparing ICE fires to Lithium fires need to do some research before they try to say electric is still better.
ICE cars and trucks are ALWAYS polluting toxic fumes anytime the engine is running. This is obviously not good but certainly not worse than ICE rig pollution.

After a recent search unto how volotile lithium ion can be, how quickly it escalates, how unprepared society is to deal with these events. It has triggered a thought of how we should be handling, storing, using potential energy . Indeed there needs to be a change. People, do your research and store these batteries away from your loved ones. Not in your home, garage, or even next to orher vehicles! Its insane how quickly, without warning things go south. On the other side of the fence, i was driving in los angeles when the planes were grounded, when 90 percent of the cars were parked, when the government issued lockdown for "non- essentiall" (we are all essential!) And let me tell you that was a beautiful day. I am all for alternative power for a safer environment, but we are not there with lithium ion.
Sure, sure...this was over reaction because they should have just let it burn uncontrolled??? Or maybe they should just never have gone out to the crash? Maybe they should have just let traffic drive thru the smoke?
@@TheEVUniverse better do abit of research on percentage,if you will research the number of houses burned down by electric vehicles, compared to gas powered would open your eyes.
Good to know that liquid fueled cars / trucks never catch fire. Good to know that fueling stations never catch fire Good to know that tanker trucks never catch fire Good to know that pipe lines never catch fire Good to know that refineries never catch fire Good to know that oil wells never catch fire
@@bigrigJim Good to know that firemen originally equipped only to fight wooden house fires developed new equipment to fight all liquid fuel fires between the vehicle and the oil well.
@@bigrigJim You are missing the point that fire fighting equipment needed to evolve years ago to fight liquid fuel fires, so to will to fight EV battery fires. Years ago there were people like you whom were against liquid powered vehicles too.
Pretty amazing the word Tesla isn't mentioned once.

Great way to push for more electric vehicles
Yay electric truck!!
Literally thousands of trucks parked on the freeway side. Made me late to my route 😡.
King Elon commanded that the T word not be used.

What about fires at fueling stations / tanker trucks / pipe lines / refineries / oil wells? These need to be included in the total hazard assessment.

Can you imagine if they were hauling fuel or compressed gas
Oh but they're so good for the environment they don't put out toxic fumes😂 it it's better for Earth and resources 😂😂😂😂😂
A toxic cloud. 😂😂😂😂
Green Energy Kills.
When Green isn't so Green.
Biggest mistake they ever made by building big rig truck
They can't say Tesla?
There are several companies that make all electric semis.
@@bobbobery6460
which ones are currently driving on the roads?
@@indetrucks There are quite a few in Europe. Tesla only had 10 or so semis on the road, they must be very flammable.

Jesus I hope that camera operator was new because I just could not focus with all that random panning.
Sorry your brain is SO simple....the camera guy was showing SEMI TRUCKS....it was a story about SEMI TRUCKS and TRAFFIC....
Is the camera operator on their first day on the job?
At least it was a accident that started the batteries burning and not a lithium ion battery short during normal operation or charging.
A fire is a fire is a fire regardless.
We have to get those T trucks Hauling Fuel Right now.
Well I guess these electric vehicles are just gonna change the world
.....for the worse.
The STUPIDITY of making ELECTRIC TRUCKS! THEY ARE WORSE THEN A GAS FIRE.... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Another Build Back Better disasters?

many good running big rigs can't drive in CA and this can ?????

GREAT JOB NEWSOM!! SMH The brain on thinking batteries in the woods .JUST PERFECT!!@Wheres the brain?
Ditch big rig Electric. Keep it as a vehicle novelty but for long haul? Seems ridiculously risky & expensive.
Elon said these Tesla Semis were thermonuclear explosion proof. 😅
All the toxic fumes in the air and ground, way to lefties. How many gas cars is equal to the lithium pollution just unleashed to the environment. 😂🇺🇸
Elon is a leftie?
@@SidcupRC I don't believe he's a leftie ,however all the lefties pushing for mandatory electric vehicles are. I still believe electric cars are a bad idea because of the toxic fumes due to a fires.🇺🇸

Oh YEAH! California with their Brilliant ideas 😂
Elon's ideas.
This is the first Tesla semi truck crash 💥

I suspect that with more experience of these sort of EV crashes this level of response will be seen as an overreaction, but who knows.

Extinguish? Nah, they let it burn out, the spray is for the surrounding vegetation.

Karma sucks 🤢🤢
You people want electric, you will get this everyday and worse.
lol that's bs - electric cars (and trucks for that matter) have a significantly lower chance of catching on fire.
Try more data, less headlines.
I have a 55 Chevy, and a electric truck!

A lithium fire is completely different from a hydrocarbon fire. Now understand the scale of hydrocarbons industry and the age of the infrastructure.
😂😅
Other trucks catch fire too.
EVs are great and will reduce costs.
I see what you did there
