“How many 10 year-old trucks/vans do you think FedEx, Schneider, Swift Trucking, etc. have out on the road? “
You are referring to diesel and gas trucks ...
Exactly. And that technology is far more mature and reliable than EV technology.
Every trucking fleet manager knows that the EV truck procurement process is a crap shoot with terrible odds. Look at the history of video cassette recorders back in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1975 Betamax had 100% of the video cassette market. VHS was introduced the following year, and within ten years it had supplanted Betamax as the preferred technology for VCRs.
Battery-powered trucks will face a similar future, but with much worse odds. For trucks, there will be one winning "VHS" technology and at least a dozen "Betamax" losers. The trucking firms that are purchasing the "Betamax" models today will be the biggest losers of them all.
