New York Gives Up on Electric Snow Plows: ‘Insufficient for the Demands of Winter'
2023-11-10
[Breitbart] The snow plows were reliable, but the extension cords kept getting cut.
C’mon, man! It’s only New York City, not the entire state! But really — only able to plow for two hours before the battery pooped out — and they were sooooo surprised.

#9  The vehicles could operate a maximum of only three hours despite the real need being 12 hours.

So just buy 4 times as many trucks. There, that wasn't hard!

#2  They'll still be useful for crowd control, and 'breaching'. Also maybe sidewalk scraping.

#1  What!? The engineering and science is "settled".
NYC is either not using them correctly or climate deniers are sabotaging them. I will hold my breath until the government fixes this!
