Quote, all-electric N-Van will start at just $7,300
The strongest selling point for the N-Van is likely to be its starting price, which is just ¥1 million, or just a hair under $7,300 at current exchange rates that favor the dollar. Leveled out to historic averages, the price would be closer to around $10,000. That’s still an incredible entry price for a full battery electric vehicle. unquote.
This electric van is going to be available in 2024 in Japan. If they’re sold in the US for this cheap price then they will be a big seller. We don’t have any charging stations near where I live but I’m sure they will start popping up when service stations see a need for them when petrol sales drop.

Probably because they will never have or have to give up the V8 badge on the sideskirt , grill and dash . You can laugh but how far from the truth would that be for some / most of them ?
Very true, which would make it all the more fun blasting past everyone in an electric truck

Seems 44 companies including Maersk, Unilever & DFDS have written a letter calling for Zero emission trucks by 2035, Allowing a five year exemption for vocational trucks. transportenvironment.org/di … cks-in-eu/
What will happen in 2035 when you roll up at the gatehouse with a fossil fuel truck? Nah mate **** off with that thing you ain’t coming on site with it.
The Tesla Semi at 1.7kWh/mile will cost a bob or two to fully charge that huge heavy traction pack, Volvo Scania electric trucks manage between 2.2-2.8kWh/mile, Renault electric HGV’s 2kWh/mile
They’ll be able to save money on fitting night heaters in the cabs as the traction pack under the bunk will be fizzing & sizzling all night whilst it’s plugged into a 1 Megawatt charger.
It obviously takes over 20kwh average to move a truck around 9 miles at 9 mpg depending on terrain.
Good luck with the 1 MW charger at £1,000 per mWh + road fuel duty and 20% VAT.
There’s still plenty of time to smash the climate scam before we allow it to smash the economy let alone with a nuke disaster added to the costs.
I do love the bee you have in the bonnet over nuclear But in good news we’ve had a huge fusion breakthrough this month when they managed to produce power for first time. It’s not over exaggerating to say fusion has the potential to save humanity.
The last time I checked the Sun is a fusion reactor with enough radioactively to cause cancer from from a distance of 53 million miles away.Good luck when one of those leaks on this small Island or blasts CME’s out in all directions.
The only bees in any bonnets here are those in the bonnets of the anti fossil fuel zealots.
All that so that it can be exported instead.No one is capping any oil or gas wells in fact more than ever are being brought online worldwide including UK production.
What do you base these doubts about its safety on?
The fact that the fusion bomb is more or less the most powerful and terrifying weapon known to man, because it does everything that a fission bomb does but better (worse), is a reasonable base.
You think you can control that with a bit of concrete and metal.

Somebody does and that’s good enough for me. If we judged everything by the ‘it could be used for destruction’ standard we’d still use horse and cart. Or maybe not since horses have been responsible for many a death.

No.
But then, Piper Alpha wasn`t either.
The major disasters that extraction and use of fossil fuels have caused is almost endless. Nuclear it’s 3, 5 if you want to add intentional man made disasters. In over 70 years. I do love these random irrational fears Carryfast has about some things

I wonder where he went to school?
Near a main road, with all those traffic fumes containing lead? It would explain a lot.

As opposed to a school that obviously taught you that Chernobyl and its ongoing victims and risk to Europe was/is a more attractive outcome than Piper Alpha or a bit of spilt oil.
Good luck to anyone who believes you at £1 per kWh for the privilege of turning the place into an uninhabitable wasteland.

Facts simply don’t back you up, but then you’ve always had a very distant relationship with facts from your own health to employment practices to axle configuration to nuclear power to whatever random nonsense you come up with next. You’re one of those idiots that once you set your mind on something it never ever changes no matter what. I bet there isn’t a single issue you have ever changed your mind on when you realised your original view was incorrect is there? Go on, be honest.
If Tesla make self-driving vehicles, and it’s all completely f—ed up, then our jobs are safe into the forseeable future, even if that’s turning on what happens in the next 4 months at present…

You mean the nuclear industry’s version of ‘facts’ whether the Soviet version.
Or the Employers’ case depicted in the docudrama Silkwood.Remind me what was the outcome of that can of worms ?.
Next you’ll be saying that Chernobyl didn’t happen nor the documented resulting long term casualties of it and I don’t mean the Soviet government’s ‘account’ of those casualties.
Safe they’re avin a larf.
Like the laugh of replacing CO2 with steam generation emissions supposedly means less greenhouse effect.
When Mars proves the non Greenhouse effect of CO2.Let alone at our 0.04% of it.

Me saying Chernobyl didn’t happen? No chap, not my department, you’re head of Trucknet fairytales as clearly evidenced by this random all over the shop nonsense post.
I have driven for
Tuffnells - Generally the trucks run at 25% max weight capacity
Royal Mail - Same
Argos - Around 30%
Dx Freight - maybe 25%
Tesco - These often run at full weight.
There is a huge market for the Tesla Semi. Yea, maybe not a great truck for long distance tramping… But that does not mean there is not a huge market for these still.
Renaut electric trucks have beaten the Tesla Semi to join the global fleets of Coca Cola & have been taking the pish with tweets like ‘Some talk the talk but others walk the walk’
A pair of Tesla Semi’s in corporate livery.
Looks like the Yanks trucking industry have got something akin to our Euro 7 emission standard coming in 2027. The rolling coalers wont be happy. epa.gov/newsreleases/final- … e-key-step
