Bust: NYC Electric Garbage Trucks Lasted Only 4 Hours In Cold

 New York City is scrapping its brilliant idea for electric garbage trucks after finding out the truck simply "aren't powerful enough to plow snow".

  • Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch told the NYC city council earlier this month: "We found that they could not plow the snow effectively."

New York City has committed to plowing each street and doing so by putting the city's 2,100 trucks to work to clear the "equivalent of 19,000 miles of street lanes".

  • Many other cities don't use their garbage trucks to plow snow.
  • Denver has their own committed light duty trucks outfitted with plows.

Sanitation workers are skeptical

  • Sanitation spokesperson Vincent Gragnani concluded by saying that full electrification isn't possible right now.
