A lot of false misleading implications. First of all, most pollution on the roads are from freight trucks - both diesel and gas. They carry far heavier loads than EV trucks, and there is a lot of pollution from tires and brakes on ICE freight trucks, more so than with ordinary cars. Because of that, should ICE trucks be banned? Also, EV trucks use regenerative braking so there is minimal wear and tear on brake pads. ICE freight trucks often experience runaway conditions when their brakes fail, which won't happen on EV trucks.
Having said that, ICE freight trucks are necessary and won't go away, despite government trying to ban them. But false information about EV trucks is not the way to fight stupid government legislation.
PepsiCo already has real world 80,000lb fully loaded data that shows for regional trucking a Tesla Semi is going to save them $300,000+ in fuel costs over their 5 year lifespan. A brand new 500 mile regional Tesla Semi is only $180,000 so they can just write off the old truck at zero resale value and still laugh all the way to the bank. Also that Tesla Semi is not more expensive than a class 8 ICE those run $150,000 to 200+ so it’s competitive today.
For long haul trucking no the Tesla doesn’t make sense although here again PepsiCo sent a 80,000lb truck 1600 miles on two days with team drivers that medium haul bordering long haul turf. For zero,zero,zero as in zero NOx,zero SOx, zero PM2.5 diesels will never get there due to physics. However Cummins and Clearflame both have modified MCCI engines that are 0/0/0 EPA certified. You must burn a soot free fuel such as natural gas or propane or hydrogen,or any of the light alcohols. Cummins is investing heavy in hydrogen as you get 14kg per min fuel rates and can store 1600 miles of H2 gas behind the cab in one linear foot of airspace in 8 one foot wide tanks. Clearflame is going the biofuels route where alcohols are used with zero CO2 as well since the plants got the CO2 from the air they already need any gram per mile limit as zero is well zero. Hydrogen electrolysis with nukes, surplus wind solar ,or hydroelectric power is also zero grams per mile from the start. CO2 is plant food but the dotgov says otherwise and the industry has to do what gov says or they go bankrupt. Americans are too old or soft to raise arms and NEVER will so adjust to the new paradigm or be wiped out fiscally.
As a mathematical note there is enough biomass waste generated every year in America to turn into liquid fuels for all the aircraft ,heavy trucks, railroads and marine use. Well over a billion tonnes not including biomass grown specifically for fuels like switchgrass, paddle cactus or agave on semi arid land not useful for anything else not even cattle. Add those in and you have 4 more billion tonnes per year.
Why? Look at what the light duty fleet uses vs everyone else. Then remember that 20% of drivers are using 48% of that 100 billion plus gallons per year. Look at the giant blue bar for light duty vehicles then open the last link and see that most of all trips are under 30 miles total per day. This is why the shift to EV is inevitable. The average urbanite who makes up 75% of the population only drives less than 30 miles per day. A five passenger sedan with a 325 mile range is ten days of driving meaning one a week at a supercharger supercharger for an hour or less. L2 chargers can do it in 5 hours overnight. Like a garage wall socket or a L2 pole at an condo or apartment. One two cable L2 pole supports 14 EVs per week on a single charge per week overnight. 15 of those support 210 EVs on the same cadence why 15? Because most small condo units will have 100 units in them and if each has two EV you only need 30 out of the 200 parking spaces to have a L2 pole between them. L2 poles run of 208v three phase already present in every condo and apartment building by code. You only need 15 poles for a 100 unit complex.
