California just threw in the towel on yet another virtue-signaling mandate - this time their electric truck requirement for private fleets. Surprise, surprise! Turns out you can't just wave a regulatory wand and magically transform an entire industry overnight. Who could have seen that coming?We break down how California's Air Resources Board had to eat crow and repeal their zero-emission purchasing rule after realizing their power grid can't even handle current EV demand, let alone a mandated fleet conversion. Meanwhile, trucking companies were being told they'd need enough electricity to power half a city just to charge their rigs. The same state that tells people not to charge their cars during heat waves wanted to mandate electric semis by 2035.This is the third major California green mandate to bite the dust this year alone. When will politicians learn that good intentions don't override basic infrastructure reality? Are we finally seeing the end of California's regulatory overreach, or will they just double down with even more unrealistic timelines?Hit that subscribe button if you're tired of watching taxpayer money get wasted on feel-good policies that ignore economic reality.

The US loves trucks. So is the key to making them love electric trucks… a very small one? That's the bet that California-based startup Telo has been making since its inception in 2022. The company has designed a bite-sized truck called the MT1 with an admittedly not-so-small starting price of around $41,000. Also, Sila, the battery materials startup, started operations Tuesday at its facility in Moses Lake, Washington, a milestone that could pave the way for longer range, faster charging EVs. The factory, which will initially be capable of making enough battery materials for 20,000 to 50,000 EVs, is the first large-scale silicon anode factory in the West, and future expansion could fulfill demand for as many as 2.5 million vehicles.

The last couple of weeks have actually been kind of slow, when it comes to the craziness of trucking so I don't have any really dramatic stories from the road. However, now that Break Safety Week has come and gone I do talk about how it affected our fleet. Leave a comment and let me know what your experience was like. What to Expect in Episode 185 It's a pretty normal reaction to be scared of the unknown. Just like Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow were scared of the unknown that lurked in the forest as they journeyed to Oz, changes lurking in the trucking industry can be scary too.  I thought it would be interesting to talk about some of the topics that seem to be getting a lot of attention these days. Here's how this episode breaks down. Electric Trucks I talk about my experience driving an electric vehicle for the last 7+ years and how I think it relates to trucks. Driverless Vehicles My Tesla has the "Full Self Driving" feature. It's good, but I think it's going to be a while before we see anything of any significance in capability and quantity in the trucking world. Craig and I talk about why. The English Proficiency Mandate A recent crash in Florida that killed 3 has brought this topic to the forefront of the highway safety discussion. Craig and I talk about some of the specifics and how this has the potential to have a significant impact in the not too distant future.
