Daily Herald: 'First in the country': Metra to showcase game-changing battery-operated passenger train
Is The #US Going To End DEAD LAST In #Vehicle #Electrification?
Might be initially confused by this and give up. Any comments welcome here. Is this type of device only truly accessible to educated DIY hobbyists? Do regular folks have to call someone to help? That will drive up cost. #DIY #electrification

🚆🔋 And now…the train.
Metra is preparing to bring battery-electric trains to the Chicago area.
Cars → buses → trucks → trains.
Electrification keeps reaching places that once seemed impossible.

At 2,500 Class 8 BEVs, it's the largest electric-truck order in US history, possibly, world, enough to nearly double America’s electric Class 8 fleet. Tesla primary OEM; Kenworth, RIDE & Volvo secondary. The BEV trucking disruption is just getting started. #Bettrification #EVs #Electrification #BEV
#Electrification #Solar #Wind #Battery #HeatPump, Cost of solar installation has dropped by 90 percent. If 'Texas Runs on Renewables Now' why isn't the GOP backing renewables? #Affordability www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDTQ...
At the end of the month I moved the panels back to a less consistently sunny spot. September should reflect the change. Next up, I have acquired a Bluetti battery. I'll start a new thread for unboxing and attempting to add it to home assist. #solar #DIY #electrification #electrfiyeverything
I've been out of the country for a month so now it's time to update on my studio #electrification project. The August data is collected and on my website. I generated 34.4 kWh with my 800W array. This is low because the panels were off line for the first half due to a landscaping project
🚒⚡ An electric fire truck.
Coronado just put one into service.
Cars → buses → trucks → fire engines.
It’s remarkable how quickly electric technology is moving into entirely new categories of transportation.
