Not enough range unless you are using it in a place like Singapore or Hong Kong.

Some places (i.e. California) are requiring “emissions free” trucks for places like shipping docks for local transport.

Some trucks under development are using hydrogen fuel-cells which can go much further.

The silly thing is, we’ll never get to where the Greenies want us to be without a massive increase in nuclear, gas, and coal power plants to power all that.

How about some real world data from real trucks doing real routes.

Most class 8s are doing local and regional delivery only a much smaller fraction do over the road long distance routes. For in town delivery a range of under 100 miles with the trucks retiring to the depot at night would work.
