Vancouver’s New Virtue Signaling Fire Engine – Useless, but at least it won’t wake the neighbors! – Is it good?

Go to a fire brigade near you!
Want a glimpse of how North American cult governments have gone “green” for everything, especially electric cars? Vancouver is excited to be the first city in the country to receive an all-electric fire truck.
What kind of cultivator is that?
Well, the new e-truck will cost $300,000 more than a comparable diesel model, pump 40% less water and have a short range (30 km) because of its massive weight. there would have to be a backup diesel power source in case the juice ran out on the way to a fire.
However, the city points out, it won’t emit diesel fumes and will be much quieter than existing diesel-powered fire trucks. Oh, yes, because that’s what worries me most when my house burns down – that the pump might be a bit noisy and smelly to the neighbors.
