What kind of batteries would the trucks need? They must be HUGE! Add their weight to the payload’s weight, and you have an extremely heavy vehicle that will destroy road surfaces and bring down bridges.

Bad for business is a feature not a bug.

Here's a calculation I did regarding the electricity required to run an auto plant.

A typical manufacturing plant uses approximately 650,000 KWH per 24 hour day.

A typical wind turbine only produces approx. 21.6 KWH per 24 hour day.

Relying solely on wind power, it would take approx. 30,000 wind turbines to power one auto plant.

I talked to the Amazon guy recently when he showed up in one of the battery powered trucks. I asked him how he liked it. There was a long pause. “It’s got nice seats.” He said they rolled out 6 months late because a lightning storm took out all of the chargers. They got them fixed and another storm took out a bunch more. He said it’s like starting out in the morning with a quarter tank of fuel. But it does have nice seats. LOL

Battery weight alone reduces efficiency.
