Insanity. All the batteries in the world would not support such a fantasy in California. Diesel trucks have to be on the move 24/7. The owners can not afford to stop every day to recharge. What do they think goods will cost under that scenario? There is not enough capacity in the electric grid.

This is all fixed when the Roddenberry Replicator is available to the masses. No need to work, no need for money...

The battery pack in the New Hummer H3 weighs over 3,000 pounds to move a 9,000 pound vehicle. The gross vehicle weight of a typical tractor-trailer combination is 20 tons or so. How much cargo weight will have to be forfeited in order to allow for the added weight of the battery pack, which will surely be several tons. To say nothing of the increased costs due to the lower cargo capacity per trip.

An EV typically weighs 40% more than a comparable ICE vehicle, due to the weight of the battery pack. Don’t forget to factor in the increased wear on tires, infrastructure and roads, bridges, etc., along with the concomitant maintenance needs and further damage to Mother Earth Gaia as a result...
Much of our governing elites are beyond belief stupid and reckless.
