A charge accelerating in a straight line following the Schwarzschild–Planck moving mirror motion emits thermal radiation for a finite period. Such a mirror motion demonstrates quantum purity and serves as a direct analogy of a black hole with unitary evolution and complete evaporation. Extending the analog to classical electron motion, we derive the emission spectrum, power radiated, and finite total energy and particle count, with particular attention to the thermal radiation limit. In conclusion, this potentially opens the possibility of a laboratory analog of black hole evaporation.
