You don't need more drivers, just more trucks.

A driver brings a truck to a charge location, grabs a truck that's been charging. Easy peasy.

There's no reason to have drivers wait for the trucks to fully charge.



Right because the one thing you associate with New York City is surplus sparking spaces.

And of course the only time you need snow plows is when every available place to put a motor vehicle has just become unsuitable for that purpose.

Seems like a lot of hand waving going on.


But those drivers still have to drive to the charging station and then back with the second truck... through new york traffic... on a snowy day.

Good luck with that.

Tell us you have no idea how much a garbage truck costs without telling us.

Must be nice to have a few million dollars in "spare" trucks lying around. Garbage trucks can run up to $400,000 EACH.

This is how you propose to waste taxpayer money, by replacing perfectly working trucks with EV's where you need to buy "spare" ones as well?
