the UK is aiming for at least 80% EV ownership in about 10 years time. Currently there are 33.6 million cars in the UK, so that translates to about 27 million EVs. Not all will be able to take advantage of home charging, but if we're very generous and assume 50% (13.5 million) can, and they all use the "standard" home 7kW charger, that's an overnight power demand of 7000W x 13,500,000 = 94.5 GW. The ENTIRE UK installed generating capacity is currently 101GW, i.e. 94% of available capacity will be used for a number of hours (7 - 10) JUST to charge 50% of the EV CAR fleet alone, let alone the charging needs of Commercial vehicles, buses, etc. Incidentally, if the remaining 50% decide to use the new generations of 250kW SuperChargers, at the same time, they will "consume" over 30% of the GLOBAL generating capacity - 3.4 Terawatts out of a Global capacity of 11 TW. Remember, that's just HALF the projected EV Car fleet ONLY in a smaller Country.

An ambulance (with ICE) with full equipment costs up to 450k €. EV ambulances may work in larger cities, but in rural areas this would not work.

Emergency vehicles do not just respond to a call but they also have to do something once they get there. Police vehicles may be on the scene of an emergency for hours with their lights flashing, then have to quickly respond to some other call. Ambulances may also have to fight through traffic to the scene of an emergency and be there for hours while victims are extracted from some catastrophic disaster, all the while having the lights going and the interior climate maintained and any electronic medical devices powered. Firetrucks have the same issue as well as having to run water pumps, extension ladders and hydraulic pumps for outriggers and lifts as well as powerful spot lights. I have personally seen occasions when diesel powered Firetrucks were running out of fuel during long duration operations such as industrial fires or hurricane damaged situations. The interesting thing is, fuel trucks were brought to the scenes and refueled the Firetrucks without needing to pause operations. During power outages diesel engines and generators still work. What do you do with EV emergency vehicles during a power outage which can endure for several days?

Electric fire truck has enough charge to reach the location of the fire and return to the station afterwards to recharge. It arrives but does nothing because if they run the pumps for the hoses there won’t be enough charge left to get back to the station for tea and medals.

Maybe these fire trucks could tow around a diesel generator to power the pumps that build up the high water pressure and the turntables that turn and lift the ladders, or the hydraulic lines that power the heavy duty cutting equipment.

As a volunteer firefighter in my community, I remember an incident years ago where they had a fuel transfer pipe from the River Port where fuel was pumped to land based storage tanks and then distributed locally by fuel trucks. One of those lines from the port to the tanks ruptured and though they were able to stop the fuel flow, when they came to repair the pipes we had to have multiple trucks on site for over 24 hours straight, in the middle of the winter, with their engines running, not only for heat for the firefighters on duty but also to be ready to immediately start pumping water to the site if the welding caused a fire. I sat in the cab of one of those fire trucks waiting in case of fire for over 24 hours. Our fuel tank was big enough to handle that but we even had food delivered to us while we were waiting. Luckily we didn't have any problem but an EV fire truck could not do that.

2 hours for service on a charge wow, that's amazing in comparison to the 14 hour run time on diesel, with all its auxillary services running....

What if, instead of having power lines to the house, we could have powerful batteries delivered to the door every day. Just like the milkman brought milk in bottles every day in the old days? Then we avoid cables with voltage drops and current losses. We also avoid utility masts / poles / cables / transformers / etc and get better use of the current? The batteries can be the size of rubbish bins and have wheels so it is easy to move them to the "power cabinet" / car. I am thinking of applying for a patent on this idea.

I hope you are just mocking them because delivering millions of batteries every day, that have to all be charged and that weight 1000 lbs each and the size of garbage bins would be an idea that only someone that thinks electric firetrucks are a good idea would come up with.

I hope you're joking. The amount of environment-destroying mining that would take, coupled with the lack of public understanding that misused batteries can explode, just sounds like a recipe for disaster.

So you are taking about using a vehicle, damaging public roads, and paying people to haul power??? Really??? SMH

One solution for the NHS would be for the NHS to buy extra ambulances to compensate for those tied up at charging points (40% extra according to one of the comments below). Apart from the direct cost of these, they would also have to buy extra parking/charging locations (and presumably a shuttle fleet to move crews between hospitals and these sites, since there isn't much spare space to build a car park at your typical hospital). It gets worse.

Even if the service vehicle is always hooked up to a charger to be "ready". It's still a delay to unplug the thing. Not to mention the waste of power to constantly have a charger hooked up to fight the battery decay of being idle. It also stops things like Ambulances from being parked around the city for fast response times. Instead they would be always in the charging bays. I know for instance in my area they always park near a local Taco bell, not to eat but just to be 10 miles distant from their point of origin.

Your sanity is so refreshing.

The sanity of a man who makes a video every hour about EVs being on fire even though there is a 0.00125% chance of it happening. Imagine praising someone’s sanity who was preaching we shouldn’t fly planes because they fall out the sky.

No emergency vehicle should be electric

Of course, once a fire engine arrives on scene, it'll need loads of power to run the pump for however long it takes (especially if it's tackling an EV fire!) Ambulances need power too once they're at the incident. You couldn't make this stuff up. And if you did, no bugger would believe you! Another great video. Cheers!

I am waiting for EAVs (electric air vehicles) used for commercial transportation. Not because of schadenfreude, but because it will publicly expose the fact that anything battery-powered cannot be 100% (or even close to 100%) reliable.

But just think of the extra time the ambulance staff will have to perfect their TikTok dance routine... so it's not all bad news!

Same problem for EVs police vehicles in France !!

i saw a ev police car in kent last week on charge at the services and a bloke pulled pulled up in a porsche and the copper started staring, the driver of the porsche said to the copper 'i can do 300 miles at 120mph if you can catch me you can ban me, the copper started laughing and wished him a safe journey

This insanity must stop..

Well Simon I have been saying for a very long time now that EV ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, SES vehicles, military vehicles, and many other essential services vehicles is just a delusional madness. I am a retired RN and know how dire a situation is when for example someone is suffering a heart attack and ambulances attending to such emergencies are required to be driven very hard and this is simply going to drain the battery in no time flat (excuse the pun). Now I don't know about anyone else but I would be really ticked off if one of these wretched vehicles ran out of power half way to a hospital!! There are many more instances one can think of where an EV rescue vehicle running out of power would result in unacceptable further injuries or even fatalities.

HOW did so many people become so dumb so fast..?

the fire EV fire truck will be putting out its own fire

except it can't

Turning on the 3000cc "clean" diesel engine to power the EV truck's services is like selling 3 million barrels of oil a day throughout Europe to buy wind turbines and be a green country (like Norway).

Right, MG Guy. Imagine a fire truck showing up to put out a fire, then it catches fire. Then it diverts attention to its own fire. And the homeowner says, "Hey! What about my house?"

I completely agree with you on nearly all points. The paradoxon is that there are some areas where EV make sense. I recently arrived at Lisbon Airport to be taxied by an old stinking Diesel bus. These don't cover any serious distances and should be replaced with secure EV. Actually an Austria fire engine company produces electrically driven fire engines for airports. They require less servicing hence they sell well without subsidies. But as you have pointed out, most sensible solutions evolve without government interference. EV won't ever replace combustion engines when it comes to medium to long distance trips. The absolute pinnacle of EV madness is subsidising development of electric aeroplanes.

During a major situation like an earthquake or hurricane the power may be out for days on end. This means a HUGE generating plant plus fuel storage tanks at EACH FIRE STATION! Compared to a much smaller diesel fuel tank. Not to mention the turn around time charging VS filling with diesel.

I once lived there. I am glad I moved years ago. SMOKE😂😂 and mirrors indeed!!

Did these people see whats happening with electric buses? More madness.

I quite agree a stupid idea. I live in the UK and on previous occasions it’s taken 1 hour to get to me. This happened last January 2023. Fortunately I fell over after the ambulance had been called but I was told it had taken them an hour to get to me. I was only on the kitchen floor about 10 to 15minutes but the floor was cold and my arm bent behind me so I was unable to move

I really enjoyed the Fisker "for a clean future" commercial that played before this video. I think the algorithm needs to rethink its rhythm.

Was recently talking to a couple of police drivers in the UK - they're deeply opposed to this idiocy - their 'management' want them in EVs too.

First thing came to my mind was powering the pumps. They must plan on using the diesel for that, they'd drain the batteries in no time.😊

Brilliant idea! Half way to an emergency ''damn our battery is flat, or on fire'' 🤣🤣

The same goes up for this situation as for the military vehicle. Let's say there is a big emergency and a war is at hand, the first thing that is shot down is the infrastructure. So communications, water supply and energy. Now try to charge firetrucks and ambulances with no power at hand? I guess the powerbanks and hand operated chargers can do it, in a week or so. It's not thinking at all and the people giving their full and unconditional approval for this. Let's put it this way, it's zero emission with zero thinking.

It is not about putting out fires or saving lives. It is about political posturing. No price is too great.

Imagine the fire truck showing up and catching fire into a 2000° inferno while they're trying to put out your house fire.

EV Fire Trucks... 🤦‍♂ The average fire truck, in the US, carries 500-1,500 gallons (~1,900 -5,700 liters) of water. That is a LOT of weight, and takes a great deal of energy to move - they have the same diesel engines used in semi trucks and buses because it is a considerable amount of weight that must be carried in the tank alone. Add in the weight of seats, hoses, nozzles, and all the other tools of the trade, including extrication tools, ventilation fans, outriggers for taller ladder truck stabilization... Then there's the issue of pumping said water at 1,000-2,000 gallons per MINUTE (if running at full, unrestricted output, most often when connected as a pump from external water source) through hoses hundreds of feet long. RIDICULOUS. FOOLISH. Idea that looks great on paper, and is great for shifting money around to the people we want to shift money to, but unfathomably stupid. It is not practical to use EV emergency vehicles, these vehicles need to respond at a moment's notice - in all weather, and sometimes within minutes of returning from another call. The cost of a standard diesel fire truck or ambulance is mind-boggling, I can only imagine the cost of the EV versions. How much tank reduction to compensate for battery pack? How much passenger/EMT space must be sacrificed for the pack? How big does that battery pack have to be, to move that large and heavy of a vehicle; and how will it be able to handle hilly terrain versus diesel? SO MANY REASONS why this could go down in flames - literally or figuratively.

Putting aside the safety of the insanely brave fire fighters for a minute but how long will the pump run after the thing has driven to the fire❓ And after a lengthy fire fight will it be able to drive back to the station to charge❓ What a Clown 🤡 World 💩 show‼️

Im surprised they didnt mention the cup holders

I heard that one Hospital in either uk or Aust had a wait time of 50, yes 50 hours fir a hospital

As an EV car takes up to 70,000 miles to pay of its carbon debt , how the hell can a fire truck with huge batteries do that as I imagine there mileage is relatively low,.

Even if they bought more eambuances to compensate for the 5000 fewer call outs per day, where are they going to get all those extra paramedics from and at what cost? Might be green, but it is nonsensical.

The EV ambulance wouldn't be needing to recharge once per day. It would be requiring to recharge numerous times over the day meaning that it would be spending more time charging up than actually going out to save lives and help people. Expect more people to visit deaths door and enter through it. Then there's the fact that if there's is damage done to where the batteries are kept, there is not only the risk of the ambulance becoming a combustible, but now you have a vehicle that is out of commission and in most cases, needing to be replaced and as each of these vehicles will not be cost effective, you can expect your rates, taxes and premiums to go on a steep incline.

To be fair, ambulances in the UK regularly have to wait hours in a queue on arrival at a hospital, because the system can't cope with volumes of new patients! Make sense then, to have the recharging points sited along the entrance road to Casualty/ER, where they'll be spending most of their time!

Where I live ambulance rush back and forward several times a day and the closest hospital is 20 minutes of car away. In summer there's lots of big paragliding events and you can triple those emergency sorties. How many ambulances will each team of paramedics need to be ready at all times while the other 3 are charging?

Well,,,,, as a long time resident of Brampton, Ontario Canada am I pleased with my tax dollars being used in purchases like this? Not bloody likely! What stupidity.

The proprietary nature of the electronics in these niche EV firetrucks & ambulances makes them unrepairable when the OEM goes out of business.

Wait till they have to put the firetruck to keep from burning down the fire house.

Presumably the BMW engine is needed to power the water pump at the fire as well as recharge the battery to get back to the station. And in winter when the battery is practically dead?

Looking forward to you meeting up with Lee.

The city of Edmonton Alberta has 60 electric buses worth 82 million that are all useless. They want to sue but the US company is bankrupt. And now Ottawa wants to do it, WTF?

it's not like NHS responding to any emergency phone calls anyway... nothing is gonna change there!
