In episode 9, I’m driving the Iveco S-eWay (738 kWh) on long-distance routes again and checking the suitability of the public charging infrastructure for everyday use. For the first time since I started at Nanno Janssen, I’m also driving a diesel truck and can therefore make a direct comparison with the electric truck. There’s also progress on the open-space PV system and I’ll show you the result of the community project for covering the CCS charging port.

Destruction of good farmland being covered with solar panels. Ice vehicles are not going away, neither is oil or gas.
When we get to 50% ELECTRIC trucks good luck trying to get charged if we reach 100% not a cat in hells chance, same or even worse for cars enjoy it while you can.
Im sure that electric is the eventual way but it will take a long time
5:56 before a certain time and according to many laws(for cars at least) it wasnt required that the brake lights come on because(in the case of a car) there is only two wheels being affected and its not the service brakes. My 2008 Prius(that I am sitting in currently to stay out of the rain) also doesn't activate brake lights on regen either. However, in my case I don't have much regen before the service brakes start to apply so its not a problem.(But it does bother me too!)
You should try and be the first person to drive an electric semi truck around Australia, although if you look it up Jon Edwards just drove his Hyundai Mighty 7.3 tonne electric truck around Australia. He was doing it the same time as I was doing it in my Polestar 2 in September. My trip took 33 days, backed up by a trip to Tasmania.
Cool
If you went back you'd have to change the name of the channel.
I love watching you and learning about electric trucks. There is a lot of opposition to electric trucks. I can wait to try one! I am a truck driver too here in USA. Stay safe!

How old is your dog? Too old to come jogging with you?
What happens if you can not charge for any reason. You will be stuck. I think a review after a few years might be more realistic.
Loved your video, its really interesting to see how things are changing in haulage.
I have only been a BEV car driver for just over 18 months, but I've decided I never want to go back to ICE as its so much more relaxing driving my car, is it the same with trucks?
It's so good to see BEV trucks, I wonder what the future will bring.
8:30 never seen a 5 axle truck? Servitude saying German doesn’t have those? The Nederlands have them a lot.
Btw gardening transport is the most enjoyable work 😁
Also, I don’t mind electric trucks. But it’s a shame that they replace normal truck parking to electric chargers parking….
Btw charging is expensive!!
I don't care about the different between different types of vehicles ice or ev, it's being told what to do by government is the issue. If these are so good why do the government have to force them on us.
7:34 hey, fahren durch reutlingen ist verboten :)))
Merci, thank you. From Montreal, Canada.
Man. You've only been driving for 6 weeks? Lol, feels like it's been longer. Glad to be on the ride
Alex from TechnologyConnections did a video (maybe last year?) about the brake lights not coming on when using regen braking. He was scathing in that review (US of course) and rightfully so. Very very unsafe and clearly something that needs to be changed. If a truck is (rapidly!) decelerating, the people behind you should know.
I guess the solar panels are not fully set up but some of the cables lying on the ground and the inverter on a pallet does'nt look too good…
