We have been making and using short-haul electric trucks for 130 years now.

Interesting, that’s consistent with their Hi-Lux strategy. Toyota is road testing the battery-electric Hilux Revo pickup truck in Thailand ahead of manufacturing the vehicle in the country by the end of 2025. Simultaneously, they are testing a Hydrogen Hi-Lux in the U.K. Not surprised they are getting into battery-electric trucks, they are behind the curve. Volvo Tucks are well ahead on deliveries for different functions and ranges. They retained their strong position in the electric truck market with total global deliveries of 1,977 electric trucks during 2023, an increase of 256 percent compared to the previous year. Volvo’s share of the electric heavy-duty segment in Europe increased to 47.2 percent (32.3 percent).

The cold weather issue of batteries can easily be solved and have been by backyard/home built EVs for some time now. First, charging meets up with some resistance in the battery that is converted to heat, especially when approaching 100% (anything over 80%). This resistance warms up the batteries. Because batteries have mass this heat stays in them for a period of time. The drop off in range happens when your batteries have charged and then have been sitting in the cold for hours allowing for them to get cold themselves. The second solution is something called phase change materials. You know those cold backs that you put in the freezer and put into your cooler? They cool by absorbing heat endothermically by changing phase from a solid to a liquid. There are heat packs that do the same thing only in reverse. As they cool down and change from a liquid to a solid they let off a lot of heat exothermically. OK. By sticking thin heat packs of exothermic phase change materials under the batteries and allowing the charger to keep that material warm, when you unplug your car from the charger your batteries will be warm and they will stay warm while the phase change materials let off heat that rises through the battery. While you drive the battery has a little bit of resistance as it discharges electricity to the motor, also warming up the batteries a little. That also in turn heats up the or more accurately slows the release of heat from the phase change materials allowing them to keep the battery warm for a longer period of time. This adds a little weight to the EV, but in cold climates it may be worth it for the extra range. It will definitely be worth it in large trucks that operate in cold climates all the time.

If you make the batteries hot you can get a higher C rating. Bill Dube the maker of the Killacycle electric drag bike used to put his batteries in a portable oven just before races. This made the discharge much faster. I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about warming the batteries so they get the maximum of their typical range. These warming packs just keep the batteries warmer longer giving you closer to their typical range in warm weather. Plus, this stuff is not sophisticated tech in the least.

Now if you could create hydrogen on site where fueling occurs from water which is supplied by water through a piping system . Now it takes energy to create the hydrogen and that energy is the fuels your trying to get rid of . If you can find a low energy way to create hydrogen through maybe solar than you maybe onto something . Colonization of space may involve utilizing hydrogen that can be created on planetary bodies . Mostly from water in the form of ice and that technology could trickle down into fueling on earth .

Environment ministers from 11 EU countries made a “last-ditch effort” to rally support for the bloc’s nature restoration law, the Irish Independent reported. The proposed law aiming to restore the EU’s degraded habitats has been in limbo since a final vote was shelved after pushback from several countries in March. The new letter, signed by ministers from Ireland, Germany, France and eight other countries, called on EU ministers to approve the law at the 17 June environment council meeting. The newspaper noted that this is the “last chance” for the law to be signed off in this legislative term. Failure to do so would “fundamentally undermine public faith in our political leadership”, the letter said. The EU needs to better protect people and the environment from emerging waterborne diseases and pollution as global temperatures continue to rise, according to a report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) covered by Politico. The outlet listed some of the “looming threats” in the report, including “serious food poisoning from contaminated fish, drug-resistant bacteria emerging from melting permafrost and reindeer populations decimated by anthrax”. The article quotes EEA chief Leena Ylä-Mononen, who said that the EU’s existing climate, water and health policies must be “implemented more broadly and systematically”.

Due to long-range necessity, large payload, and extreme electricity requirements, the US trucking industry does not find BEVs to be realistic solutions for them.

Toyota are the number one bullshitters

Lithium battery's will replace a small % of trucks, when the price of battery's halves and the energy density doubles then they will take over.

Why do you show hydrogen powered trucks on the video when discussing electric powered trucks? Is it because there are no pictures of Toyota electric trucks to show?

Wonder Toyota haven't announced twelve different models which all exist in the mind of their glorious leader 😆

So after heading down a disastrous path, they decided copy what they deem a success story. No not Tesla... Nikola. Phillip.

Talk is Cheap. Toyota needs to put up or shut up. Just sick and tired of BULLSHIT Talk Talk Talk. Blah Blah Blah. Again Toyota just Show Me and Stop Telling Me.

I love Tesla. Bit there is no short term future for battery powered trucks. Too heavy, too cumbersome. This is where hydrogen power is key. Still electric, different lighter fuel.
