I can't help thinking that if/when the oil really starts to run out, the only vehicles that will be allowed to use it will be Emergency Services vehicles. I can't currently imagine (say) an electric fire truck, nor ambulance.
- falcolas 2y agoI can't currently imagine (say) an electric fire truck, nor ambulance. Why? The biggest problem I can think of is that they have a shorter range, but for a fire truck or ambulance the extra weight for longer range wouldn't really be an issue. The lower maintenance requirements might also mean ambulances won't be the shitshow that private ambulance companies make them right now. In the worst case scenario, I imagine there would be more priority for a vehicle which can provide power to on-scene electric vehicles, which is something frequently done for lighting up scenes even today. That said, I don't see these coming today or tomorrow. In a couple of years, though, we'll start seeing them more.
