  • Great question.

    That is definitely one of the big caveats of BEVs over diesels. A battery on an EV can only take in so much energy. Once you hit that ceiling, the battery won’t take in any more current. Fun fact, having a super charged battery in a BEV causes all sorts of headache and can cost you performance.

    You either have to switch back to service brakes or, as you mentioned, burn off energy as heat. Not sure how they’re doing it with this truck, but on other BEV loaders which I’ve worked on, we add a hydraulic valve whose only purpose is to create flow, pressure, and subsequently heat. It basically just adds a dummy load. I suspect they tapped into the dump hydraulics and added such a valve for this truck.

    You seem like the type who’d start dropping N bombs if you saw a person of color driving a car you deemed too loud.

    Or maybe getting ableist as fuck if you saw a wheelchair-bound person rolling coal.

    Sure, these are shitty things to do, but body shaming is the weapon of the enemy.

    Seeing deplorable behavior doesn’t give you a free pass to body shame, be racist, ableist, or misogynistic.





  • This game was sort of before my time. Got to experience 2 on a beefy gaming PC, so I’m hyped for the zombie mode.

    As I was playing 2, I was constantly thinking to myself: “this would be a prime game to mod some zombies into”. Was surprised to hear they’d already done it in 1.

    Hopefully they ported it well.
