I’m an engineer/scientist/business owner. I don’t develop solutions looking for a problem to solve. The EV market is doing just that.

My nephew is a truck driver. He recently landed a pretty good gig working for a large equipment manufacturer. They have 3 plants within a 4 mile loop that he drives. He transports large sub-assemblies to be used in continuing production at the other facilities. Works from 8 to 5, his truck is idle at night.

His is a perfect application for an electric semi.

As an engineer I see the advantages of ICE over EV's. The same reasons still apply on why EVs lost out in the 1920's. By 1930 there were few EVs left ( no more steamers either ). The reasons are the same.
