Electric delivery trucks unveiled in Sydney

The Albanese government is funding a rollout of electric delivery trucks in Western Sydney as part of its plan to lower emissions.Read More.

And charged nightly from……coal fired power stations.Mmmm

Why is there no push to make these things electric..

Electric delivery trucks are nothing new. They were in use in London before WW2. However, then, as now, the power for the batteries came from coal fired power stations.

How are getting charged?

That cheapest energy source again...that always seems to need a government handout

Exactly how much does it cost to charge a EV car daily and now these trucks. Surely it cost more then fuel with the high cost of electricity.

Of course Albanese is funding this....who is Allegro Funds? 'Team Global Express is excited to step forward under new ownership, Allegro Funds.' They seem to receive a lot of capital from their investors...🤔 Whoever they are.....

Wonder how they will sun when there’s no sun or charge? Or a decent hailstorm damages the solar panels…..

Lol they can deliver some bananas that’s about it😆😆😆😆 wonder why there are no semi trailers in the fleet.Globalist Express would be a better company name😆😆😆😆

Green new hoax here we go

Laughable as their be no power the rate labour is destroying the power grid , another act to try to draw attention away from the disaster awaits us

Make sure Albo keeps us updated on this story. Tell Bowen fossil fuel will charge them. Bowen has no idea..

Let’s hope they don’t get salt water in them

LOL

Madness !!!!

Madness

Electricity used to recharge these vehicles are mostly from coal and gas.

Meanwhile Switzerland is about to ban EVs since they are putting too much of a strain on the grid. We are governed by numpties.

How many kms are these going to get. Will be working 24hrs by the time you continuously charge up.

I wonder how much coal one of these use every 100 klms

Iranian rapper, Behrad (BehradAliKonari, بهراد_علی_کناری) , together with 14 other Iranians seeking freedom, are charged with 'spreading corruption on earth' by the Islamic Republic. Individuals convicted with this 'crime', usually get executed. IR is trying to murder them.

Covid has gone to Albo’s head

But its continuing to export $100 billion of coal per year. So remind us again how this is reducing emissions throughout the world?

At an average of $434,000 per truck this will take a while to break even. Also, how will they be charged when power restrictions come it?

Yes the ones with Chinese made batteries

We can all have a free Truck

🤣 wow but the cost of supplying the energy sky rockets 🚀

what does a grant for $20m mean? Paid back to the federal taxpayer at commercial lease rates? while they write off the $20m as asset depreciation, against company income tax! Another head in the clouds moment from Albo

If this technology was any good it wouldn't need government subsidies; investment in electric vehicles would be adopted by every forward thinking capitalist delivery company out there.

Electric vehicles are generally powered by coal and gas (72% of AUS energy), so the emissions continue to exist … like virtue signaling numpty politicians.

So he has started early on the push for NSW elections

Haha imagine how many decades it takes for these things to “break even” with a simple ICE powered vehicle

Good

Albanese asks states to recall parliaments to put price caps on coalAmid growing pressure from the public to lower the price of power bills, the federal government is considering “temporary and meaningful” measures to intervene in the energy market. High energy prices have nothing to do with the current price of coal. The domestic coal price is already regulated and nowhere near the export coal price. Crank up the coal fired power stations 🤔But we keep hearing that renewables are cheaper? And wouldn't you want coal to be more expensive so there is price pressure to use less of it? Time for AustralianLabor to stop mucking about and get behind nukes. 🇦🇺 needs a 25 year program to build at least ten x 1,000MW.

Albanese trying to ‘persuade’ NSW and Qld Premiers to introduce coal capsSky News Political Reporter Olivia Caisley says soaring energy bills are likely to be a key issue this week ahead of a National Cabinet “showdown”. “Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is trying to persuade NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, and also Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, to introduce coal caps in their states,” she said. “This is something they are pretty reluctant to do because it will result in lost revenue for them and they want to see some kind of financial compensation from the government.” It’s so funny how Labor lied to everyone just so they won the election. What’s even funnier is they are so brainwashed by lies and spin from government and the media they still don’t even realise it.
