    I guess we will see how well they do.

    I wouldn't count on them being able to run 200km every day.

    If the call volume is 1 call per hour, chances are you are not returning anywhere but to the fuel pump.

    Dedicated ambulance EV charging spots with barriers in the ground to keep others from using the spot and maybe a wireless charging solution to expedite departure.

    "What about what about what about."

    Like I said.... May not work everywhere all the time. May not work right now. You don't need to keep throwing out scenarios where it won't work.

    Just because something doesn't work 100% of time for every scenario doesn't mean it's worthless in every other scenario.

    You don't need to keep proving that there are limitations. No one has argued that.

    Doesn’t have to be at the hospital

    How many hospitals is your sample size?

    That's what I said, a busy service wouldn't do well with an electric ambulance.

    My sample size is just the numerous hospitals my wife has worked at but all of them had at least some sort of ambulance parking already. Even gas ambulances need a place to park sometimes. Sure it's tight, especially in city centre hospitals, but they still exist.

    Every hospital I've been to has a large area, with lots of signage and paint that are marked "ambulance." That couldnt be a place for a charger?

    Where I live, especially in winter, ambulances are plugged in already and they're not just running extension cords from a neighbour's house.

    Again... We all understand that an electric ambulance won't always work but just because you've seen a place where it won't work doesn't mean that it can't.

    You should talk to the hospitals with electric ambulances on order that I linked and voice your concerns. I bet they didn't even consider where to plug in or how to use them.

    He can't read

    He can't

    In his separate reality he believes what he's saying.

    If it doesn’t fit his requirement then it definitely doesn’t meet this definition.

    It's not American and it's French though.

    Batacoma likely hasn't been there either so even the existence of Montreal is probably debatable.
