Electric class 8 trucks and medium duties make sense in the less than truckload and light freight segments.
Current prototypes are heavy compared to a properly spec’d diesel truck which won’t work at the moment in the bulk carrier / full payload required segments.
Back to my bale hauling comparison I didn’t mention a class 8 with a 15litre Cat diesel hauled 30% more payload on 30% less fuel and would have done way more but was limited by load space on the trailer. And didn’t even break a sweat.
Pickups are not very efficient hauling big weights.
