Nearly 150 electric trucks will deliver groceries to Australian homes in the country’s largest electric truck rollout to date.
Zenobē has leased 148 Foton T5 battery-electric trucks (BETs) to Woolworths, with first deliveries commencing in May and the full fleet rollout expected this year.
Seems a sensible use for electric - last mile short range stuff with lots of stop/start, predictable max mileage, and return to base each night. Much better use case than linehaul or other long range stuff - I can’t see that being sensible without a lot of infrastructure investment. As long as they have chargers sorted at the bases it should work (barring people forgetting to plug the thing in which will happen but hopefully not too often).
The range on these is still a bit low for a full days work even in short range urban delivery (claims up to 200km, so maybe 150 you can rely on) so I wonder if they’re planning on spruiking for fast chargers at the bases - could fit in a morning and afternoon/evening run that way.
Sad fact that these trucks are running on coal in the end.
hey you want to flick the url around, it looks like you’ve linked to a picture
The link is in the text.
😮💨 why do i bother
I’m not vey tech-savvy and I don’t understand what you mean by ‘flicking the url around’. Why not just use the link in the text? Are you being precious?
On link aggregator sites like this you would normally put the article URL as the main link so people can click on your title and be taken to the article. Having a picture as the main link like you’ve done would normally be done if the picture was what you wanted to discuss. It’s not a real problem how it is currently but it is different to how someone would normally post article links.
Luckily you can edit posts on Lemmy, so what they’re suggesting is to go to edit the post and put the article URL in the field labelled URL so your post follows expected behaviour, and if you really wanted a link to the picture you could put that in the description like you currently have the article link.
Hi Tau, that much I knew but some articles’ URLs don’t follow the rules 😆, like this one, which when I put its URL in the URL box it just said ‘Error’. Others say ‘Just waiting’ or ‘One moment’ and nothing happens. Zero_gravitas explained it all to me some time ago but I went back to doing the posting this way because I can make it work. So lol, I’ll keep posting ‘my way’ 🎵 Thank you anyway for reaching out 😊
I am done with your trolling arblip3!🤣
