    Chace speaks wisdom as far as no “transitional” step to EV’s. The truck components are economical, available, and proven over decades, so don’t mess with them. A lot of the electric systems are also more common, much more so than the OEM’s are trying to put out. Being hybrid, you can choose to use your yard infrastructure, or go long haul, using existing support and facilities for fuel, light maintenance, and simply parking. You are free to embrace change as it comes along, and able to maintain full operation during emergency and disaster situations when you’re literally on your own. This means real world thinking without sacrificing your drivers and your business to the sheer stupidity that is prevalent in the EV space of trucking at the moment. Can’t wait to see Topsy wearing out some tires on the road.

    Hybrid electric with a plug in is what I would go for everytime. ESPECIALLY for EMERGENCY vehicles that have to work when the grid is clobbered.

If that same plug in could power my house from the truck when the powergrid went down.....

      That being said though for 'off the grid' style things at home I think solar is a really good option. Having solar on individual houses lessens demand and it benefits the individual by being independent from the grid during power outages and the like.

They’re largely made out of silicon and aluminum, of which is more than enough on earth, and their production doesn’t produce any significant amounts of emissions (assuming of course the grid is green). Yes recycling is an issue, but that’s the case for anything and everything, solar panels are not particularly hard to recycle or anything.

As for independence from the grid, yeah the pop up ain't great for that.

      Diesel ships are really good. Ships cost so so so much its nice that theyre if simple and reliable as possible. But theres no doubt that we can reduce a huge amount of port emissioms withohtnhabing to convert the worlds diesel merchant vessel fleet to expensive hybrids. Maybe some but where the real advantage is i agree its the tug boats. When the ships come to where the masses of people are you cam cut the engines out at sea and pull them in with these hybrid tugs its actually clearly better in certain aspects and whether its worth it really depends on how long the batteries last and what the overall prices of operating maintaining repairingnand repalcing parts is over the vessels lifespan. To some degree jusy a straight compression engine vessel is advamtageous brcause they use such massive pistons the rpm is los and they cam run for a very very long time. You go to hybrid they will shrink the engine considerably and grow the battery and youll emd up with a small motor working hard to charhe a big dead weight battery thay weighs lot empty or full. You can see this tug the battery takes up the hole bottom but i mean the hybrid application there is also more affordable ton making the big panamaxes and capesizes etc hybrids. If the battery dies and it runs out of juice they are usually working in and out around ports. Thats a good application that will increase air quality in the areas that matter the most. If youre sending a uber giant vessel around africa you dontnwam tto have to keep stopping for both electricity and fuel when before you only needed fuel or didnt even depending on the vessel. I was looking at some vessels that run on natural gas because natural gas in liquidifed form compressed to less than 600x the volume in its gasseous form so the numbers are promising. So liquified natural gas tankers will run on natural gas. Sometimes its just the nature of the application that determines what fuels one ship over another. For different reasons its pretty interesting. Hybrids started popping up but most ships run on straight up supermassive bunker fuel compression engines like oil tankers and bulk carriers, container ships. Even if you only had hybrid tugs that would make a big difference in key areas in terms of air quality

    • @hanzzel6086
      @hanzzel6086 6 месяцев назад

      ​​Well, for the big ships you probably would be going back to running them as straight Deisel-Electric, like locomotives or the old U.S Standard type battleships.
      Basically running the engines as generators, which would then directly power the electric motors moving the ship. You could add some batteries to run the ship for a few hours coming into/out of port. Ships use port supplied power while berthed, and they could also charge their batteries there, further reducing engine run time. You can also add wind propulsion aids to ships to further reduce fuel needs (but not eliminate them, modern ships are just far to big and have too strict of deadlines to rely too much on the wind).

    8:55 I think the mean green lawnmower should tone down the command response. Touchy commands on un-heaven terrain (because we don't exclusively mow golf courses) will require constant corrections only to maintain your path. A milder power mapping could also potentially reduce power usage and extend battery life. Wheelies are cool but yeah... This will leave some patches. LOL

    The tug boats were surprising to see. Growing up around lakes it always seemed crazy to have super dirty boat exhaust just pumped directly into the water. Seeing the oil spread all over the surface of the marina water always seemed wrong. Especially when it’s on a reservoir where cities source their water. I think lake fishing, ski, and pontoon boats would be another great application. Definitely annoying to listen to the generator constantly running on a houseboat too.

    The Dutch have diesel electric hybrid life boats.. they find at night or in fog if they run silent they can hear people in the water.. when they cannot see them and they are not wearing reflective gear.

    When I had to replace a third headlight in one year, on my ATV, at $65 each, I told the ATV dealer he could have all my money, just don't take it all today. I knew there was a cheaper way. I was quite certain that bombardier did not make their own headlights. I took my new headlight to the local parts store and asked him to research the manufacturer and if there was a cheaper version of this light. Without even using the computer, he squinted and thought about it and said that's from a late model cavalier, $21 on the shelf behind you.

    I am sure you know as a logger but when I was an OTR driver in the lower 48 stickers in that area would easily get covered with dirt and grim and rubbed off.
    @EdisonMotors I would suggest making a 'Bill Box' style of container inside the door or a tool box. This would have a window on the outside and allow access from the interior of the door so that the slip can be updated. This will allow it to be visible, protected and easily updatable.

    It always just baffled me that hybrids originally weren't built like the Volt with the generator running an electric drivetrain.

      " the Volt with the generator running an electric drivetrain". Actually the idea is the ICE generator only coming on to charge the battery pack. Diesel Electric Locomotives though power the wheels directly. I guess they dont have regen then though. Should have!

    Awesome content as usual chase. The cost of the freightliner is staggering, 470k for a truck when a comparable gas or diesel truck would be 100k is wild. The idea is great, but the cost of replacing the gas/diesel production to ev and passing it on to the end user is clearly too much to make it feasible.
