EV Channels Review
This report details a significant incident involving a taxpayer-funded electric Kenworth prime mover operated by Cement Australia, which caught fire on a Melbourne freeway. The reviewer, John Cadogan, strongly criticizes the event as a "dodgy EV conversion" and a "greenwashing scam," highlighting that public funds were used for this "rolling Hazmat disaster." He provides multiple pieces of evidence, including the truck's green livery, visible "electric vehicle" text, aggressive horizontal flames indicative of battery fires, and the absence of diesel exhaust stacks, to confirm it was an electric vehicle. Cadogan condemns the public testing of such potentially unsafe technology, comparing it to testing a new aircraft with passengers. He also criticizes the government's focus on EV initiatives while neglecting older, more polluting diesel trucks. The review concludes by questioning the integrity of sponsored content and the overall viability and safety of current EV conversion technology, particularly from companies like J an us (Janus), which has experienced previous incidents.
