The other cool thing was that they had a battery management system failure and after a computer update they are now able to continue running on generator electricity only like diesel electric locomotives. If I were their lawyer, I’d explore classifying their generator system as a chemical mechanical battery (so long that it gets them out of having to verify their system as clean/safe for on highway use. I’d also argue that any approved engine with an alternator is technically a generator as well.

I always thought my state and US govt was overly bureaucratic, but Canada is quickly moving up near the top of the list just following their saga. No wonder I see Alberta independence news stories if this is the sort of nonsense that they have to put up with in new or day to day operations of business.
