Vancouver's new electric fire truck sidelined by leak \| CTV News .What a waste of tax dollars. From the article.. The department said the truck is smaller and more maneuverable than a traditional truck, and can go 100 kilometres on a single charge. That's about 60 miles round trip, max, or 30 miles, one way, to a fire. And what powers the water pumps on the truck, lights and sirens, etc.? At a cost of $1.8 million, it’s $300,000 to $500,000 more than a new diesel engine, but Fry said there are huge environmental and health benefits to an electric truck, as diesel fumes are a known carcinogen. Huge environmental and health benefits? What an expensive joke. Pay up, suckers..
