Now, for local work it's a whole different story, I can see electric trucks beating diesels hands down for operating costs.
Pepsi has said that’s the plan for awhile now. They installed their own chargers in the facility in Modesto.rjstractor wrote:

This guy has some great points, however one he is missing is the utilization time of an over the road truck- a truck isn't earning if its wheels aren't turning. A team-driven diesel semi can be rolling up to 120 hours per week and can go 1500+ miles without refueling. Even after a robust commercial charging network is in place, electric semis will need to stop every 400 miles or so for a recharge. I don't know what the charge times will be for the semi, but until the down time for recharging is similar to that of a diesel truck for refueling, they won't be able to match the productivity for over the road. Now, for local work it's a whole different story, I can see electric trucks beating diesels hands down for operating costs.- Will believe the Tesla Semi when Pepsi shows the public their truck hauling Pepsi.
