My Next E-Truck Arrived! - Scania 40R and 4MW Charging Park

The second week as an electric truck driver. This time with the Scania 40R and insights about the HPC charging infrastructure.

In the end it's about ... economics, TCO and practicality. I really appreciate that you are doing this and publishing it on KZbin. It's not just the change, the people who WILL need to adapt to electric trucks need to know that it is BETTER than diesel, it is just the GREEDY billionaires who are objecting (and lying to you). When people find out that smelly, dirty, noisy cities because of diesel trucks are NOT a "cost of doing business" but are in fact *just a cost of using DIESEL*, there will be a huge push to make diesel GO AWAY.

Great point about the charger cables - water cooling can really make a positive difference.

I really like what you are doing " real life video" 😎 Best whishes from Sweden.

[@JorgeniLund]

I'm looking forward to a real cold and snowing winter. Would be interseting to hear from your experience when weather gets hard.

[@johndoe1909]

from experiences made in sweden about 10% decrease in range is to expected in snow and bad conditions. cold doesn't really make much of a difference as long as the truck is used regularly. in that case batteries ate kept at a good operating temperature at all times regardless of the ambient temperatures. it's actually heat that's more of a problem.

The whole idea that heavy trucks need 1000+ km to be usable is pretty pointless. As every 4.5 hrs you have to stop anyway. All is needed is fast charging and charging infrastructure

Your comment about reversing visibility really drives home the wisdom of Tesla's choice to centrally locate the driver's position in the cab and offset the additional seat to the rear of the cabin.

[@jaakkoiswatching6437]

With the driver in the center in Tesla Semi, both sides are "bad" sides to back into. But that's what we have mirrors, cameras and talented drivers for.

dumb idea

[@pinkelephants1421]

@@MrStian78 In what sense?

[@pinkelephants1421]

The depot could really do with having a boundary to boundary solar canopy system & battery storage installed to power the eventual fully electric fleet and to earn the company extra income by providing grid services. As I keep saying to owners of outdoor parking and storage areas, you have a set of fixed costs - insurance, maintenance, local taxes, etc. When these areas are not being fully utilised, those fixed costs are effectively up to two times more expensive. Also, the design of most of such areas is on a two-dimensional plain. By installing a boundary to boundary solar system, you immediately turn it into a 3 dimensional usable space, effectively those reducing costs as a consequence. By boundary to boundary I mean just that. A system that includes the circulatory areas in (addition) to the actual parking/storage bays. Take a look at Tesla's Giga Berlin new solar canopy system as an example - plenty of KZbin videos showing it.

Shoutout to "Gabelstaplerfahrer Klaus" - a funny german instruction video for safe operation of a forklift driver. Is there an english version of this available anywhere?

It could also work if you don’t understand what the narrator is telling.

great work! in my laymen opinion i would think the oppcharge approach with reverse pantograph would be very useful! and t😊hem installed at at onload/offload docks you would skip cables and stuff. and the connection would be 100% automated.

[@bbcooter388]

It is very interesting that the Scania is using 1kWh per kilometer, this is the same usage as the Tesla Semi. To me, this means that the Scania Engineers are TOP NOTCH. I don't know what the other manufacturers are getting regarding energy usage, but I doubt they are as efficient as the Tesla and Scania.

[@NicMediaDesign]

Please don't mix up kWh (battery usage) and kW (measurment of power)

The US semi limit is higher. 70 mph vs 50 mph.

[@murdoch9106]

Volvo has been in the BEV truck game for much longer, they have been selling BEV trucks for years already, Scania just started getting them out on the roads very recently I believe. May have had a few test trucks in some places but dont think they have sold trucks to the wider public until now? I could be wrong. Volvo even have an BEV truck in the USA now.

[@CreRay]

Volvo has a higher overall market share in electric trucks than Tesla does in electric cars! A lot has happened in 2024 and Volvo is not in the lead anymore where it comes to range and installed capacity

I love your material. I know it's most efficient to dub your content in English, but it would increase the quality of your videos tremendously if you recorded them in both English and German. It is difficult to watch as it is right now. Wish you all the best.
