NYC officials say they can't find EV garbage trucks powerful enough to plow snow
Battery operated garbage trucks don&#x27;t sound like a great idea, at least for all day use.<p>With the push for EV I am not sure why we aren&#x27;t seeing a push for the installation of streetcar power lines, these already exist and are used for busses. If we have a garbage truck that has the battery capacity for say 30 minutes, then it could be on the power line for the majority of the time.<p>This would limit battery waste as well. There could be some solid engineering reasons for this, but I suspect that coolness is a big factor.
