Another very real option is the Hyliion ERX, they have driving prototypes and over 200 firm orders. It’s batteries with a CNG generator.
1000 mi range, there are already 800 CNG fueling stations in US.
Some other points
Peterbuilt and Volvo are on board for the trucks all the equipment is installed on the line, Dana already makes the drive axles and Cummins is onboard for the engine and generator. Hyliion is doing the software, controls, batteries and cooling systems. They have history with all this as they have a hybrid mod for current trucks that’s been out for a few years.
The big point is that the battery pack is capable of 75 mi of range on battery alone so it qualifies for the full 40k credit same as Tesla.
They were an SPAC darling so they have 500 million in cash to finish the project.
