I must repeat myself here as well, I never stated an electric semi was the problem. That is not the hard part. The hard part is charging a fleet of them (at night), the costs associated with doing so, the lack of parts/service support, and the lack infrastructure support.
By infrastructure support I don't mean a network of superchargers for cars, I mean underground/overhead utilities for mega-chargers. Since these mega-chargers will require almost twice as much energy as the average home uses in a month for just one truck, you will need a fairly large amount of copper to move the amount of energy required from a high voltage substation to these chargers in order charge a whole fleet of them in one night.
So what is your solution since you are the one that sees them?
