NYC officials say they can't find EV garbage trucks powerful enough to plow snow
Why are they using garbage trucks to plow snow?<p>Looks, I get that I'm biased being in Canada, but do they understand that you can buy <i>dedicated vehicles for plowing snow</i>? They're called... snowplows. They're pretty fantastic.<p>You need garbage trucks every day, all year. Electrify those. You need snowplows on a handful of days per year- and that number is falling thanks to climate change. So buy purpose-built snowplows for those days that use fuels instead of batteries.<p>But it's silly to decide to have an all-fuel fleet of garbage trucks just because they can't also be used as snowplows a few days per year that you need them.
