13:00 - wait there goes someone in a Tesla... CALL THE POLIZEI...!!!

heads up Tobias, you now have to tell your Graphics Designer to give your AVATAR a haircut for reasons of continuity. 👈😉

Best of luck to you! May you be rewarded for your efforts.

I love the idea of a Truck Drivers App! Just watching your daily runs makes me see just how a good app would help!

I have grown to love this channel! The way you approach the obstacles and challenges of long haul trucking with electric vehicles is so interesting. I recently bought a used Tesla Model 3 and am now a EV advocate. I love the idea of electric semis and hope it continues to grow. Thanks for the channel.

Tobias, I think you would be amazed how many mentions / recommendations you and Krumilex get on pure EV car channels as great viewing regarding Electric Trucks. Another great trucking video and great to see that my former employer Maersk (I was master of numerous of their container ships) is now using electric trucks too - as a logistics giant they have been at the forefront of reducing the amounts of fuel that their fleet of ships consumes and thus the amount of CO2 emitted which for a single ship carrying 23000 x 20ft containers is huge!

It looks like the electric truck charging infrastructure is roughly where the passenger car charging infrastructure was 10 years ago.

maybe put some tips and tricks per Truck in the app. so if newcomers get on the road with no info from there employer about the truck they can consult their app for some basics.

And THIS is how you move the industry forward! Great job. The app for truckers is something that is sorely needed. When the "price war" in charging hits (and it WILL), it will be the first movers with the most RELIABLE infrastructure that is easy to use who will be able to cut prices and compete on volume. For truckers, that means charging without having to drop your trailer, in a "pull through" spot and having a place to sleep. As battery costs come down, they won't even NEED a "grid-tie" if there is solar or wind available nearby. Battery prices are STILL in free fall in China for volume - mostly because disingenuous (or openly HOSTILE, like Trump's USA) governments are screwing the world for VERY short-term and stupid political gains. I'm hoping China stands firm and fast as the US destroys itself ( *ONLY the US can destroy the US* China is just watching them do it).

Starting to look like a real trucker with that hair cut

Are you getting a new actros electric?

19:37 thats until you wake up and someone stole your batteries 🤣

Have you being driving outside Germany with the truck yet?

I love this channel. Practical and uplifting. Keep up the great work!

Video 2 of asking you if a passionate MBA from India can have an interview with your company about a job in Germany

Very good documentary. It’s the same in some ways for cars. I had to use about four different apps when I owned an eGolf. I only found one that I could plan around a rest stop, restaurant and active charger with no faults. Tesla have this taken care of as all their chargers are usually situated near a hotel or restaurant. Good luck with the project.

Even a single truck should be a good customer for a CPO. How many vehicles can connect for two hours and pull 300kW? Most passenger cars drop to 10-15kWh after 30 minutes.

About the Iveco: In a German language video there was something mentioned about a coolant leak that drained the coolant for the batteries.

Just like trucker GPS, and oh what is that a low bridge. Charging and maps need to be integrated for most people.

Which countries are in the app? Only Germany? Western Europe perhaps?

Please make the data that is behind the app open source in some way. There are too many platforms with closed data sets and that's not helping anyone. Ideally choose a licence that's compatible with open street map

Please don't take both hands off the steering wheel at the same time, its bad practice.

These exact overhead lines were on my daily commute here in Sweden on the E16 heading into Sandviken, they were tested here and they were then dismantled and moved to Germany where seen here

Thanks for such a great documentary. Can you explain why it is more efficient to convert AC to DC and back to AC for sea to shore applications? I thought the whole idea of AC is for long distance transmission of power.

As a truck driver it's necessary to account for lost minutes while enroute, fascinating. This has never been practiced in my 20 years of maintenance of semiconductor equipment.

Driving in most of Europe is awesome. The UK is so far behind, in every single respect.

That's actually pretty good. I have nothing against EV's in climates that allow it. The overhead lines and 600km range make this worth it, charge when your out of the electrified area, and then charge on the go with the overhead lines. It's actually amazing when the infrastructure is in place. You can haul so much more weight with how torquey those electric motors are!

When do we get to see the electric truck on the dynamometer? I saw it on elektrotrucker. But I don't understand Dutch, and my brother said they are talking to fast, and he does not understand it all. My brother was a automobile designer at Ford of Germany from 1983 to 1992, then sent to Detroit. He was born in America, and still got to keep his normal 6 weeks vacation (normal in Germany, but un-usual in America) that he had in Germany, as well as Ford would send him "Home" to West Germany once a year for 2 weeks and pay his airline tickets.

You sound electrician not truck driver.

really 1:15 you saying this... Is this why I should pay that money to consider breakdowns and how when where to charge. You are young so you can run with bisons, soon you walk.

Funny, you think that you are the only one thinking like you. at the beginning of this video.

Why are modern trucks not being designed with low cabs? - considering that these are a lot safer in urban environments

Hybrid trucks are the future, the 100% all electric might work in 100% city driving, but for long range the last thing you want is range anxiety in a HGWV.

Impressive. Thanks for sharing.

alright Tobias it's "D-Day" (that's right same as June 6, 1944) so time for you to decide who you're going to show LOYALTY to will it be Germany...? or will it be Elmo...? hint: you can't have it both ways, and i promised Thomas of Autogefuhl that i wouldn't let you "skate" on this issue, any more than i would let him "skate" on this issue. PS: i suggest you choose Germany (ie, Mercedes, Porsche, VW, Audi, and "Bey Oom Vey", etc) since Elmo's a drug addicted scumbag. EDIT: to paraphrase Sabine Hossenfelder, having to make this decision will likely be "unpleasant".

I needed one day to charge in a truck charger, close to landshut, I was almost empty on my car, and the car charger was full. I think with the current charging infrastructure we need to be friendly with others, doesn't matter if it's a truck or a car. Of course if a truck come to me in that situation, I will free it, (In fact, I was there only 10 minutes, enough to reach another charger that was less expensive for me)

I like the way you treat things as challenges that others would regard as problems.

Great videos ! Thank you for your work !

79 cents is more expensive than diesel

The future will be a lot quieter.. I'm already looking forward to it! Go electric.

This dog is soo lovely❤❤

Noise comes from the garbage container, not from the engine.

`Butt sensor’ sounds way funnier than ‘seat sensor’

Every sign tells a story...

The forklift needs to charge off the trucks battery, that way it's fully charged at each loading/unloading point and you never need to worry about it. So when you charge the truck on the road it charges Ferdinand the Forklift automatically.

It would be smart to add charging capability into the truck-trailer lights connection wire, especially as an option when fast charging. Charging using a 240volt cable on the forklift will be inconvenient and time consuming

Yes we are totally gonna wonder why we didn't electrify trucks sooner. Right now my small little town insisted that they had to have a bypass for the small highway road running through it to go around the town so people wouldn't have to have the noisy trucks going through town and now if we do that people would be able to sit outside on the sidewalk and yada yada yada. Yeah it's not necessarily the semi trucks making all the noise it's the pick up trucks with no mufflers the motorcycles coming through. All vehicles make too much noise to some extent. At some point somebody's gonna realize what happened to all that noise once all these vehicles are electrified. Sadly that's not gonna happen in the US for at least the next 8 years.

I wish Tesla would get more trucks on the road. I would also like to see what they are doing in China.

Ideal for garbage collection. Also skip hire?

Love it
