IMHO...ICE or a hybrid of some sort
Same issues with an all-electric semi, but a semi has more room for batteries. Even in light of their higher GVWR/GCWR
Maybe if they standardize on a replaceable battery pack, but “they” most likely won’t work together
Just decided...going to rebuild my 1996 K3500, 7.4L Suburban, which is at +169,000 VERY, VERY HARD miles....Maybe it will go another 169,000 very hard miles
Do wish for an electric motor to stuff into my Suburban, as first few careers were in variable speed, electric motor controls.
Or Ben...if you decide to keep your big block Suburban a big block Suburban...how about the GM Performance Catalogue HT502 V8... Rat motor...with 502 cubic inches, 406 hp @ 4200 rpm and 541 lb. ft. or torque @ 3200 rpm.
I recently picked up Chevy Performance catalogue from the local Chevy dealer...$ 5 USD...makes for great reading for a gearhead like me.
Of course cost of crate engines is something else again. :D
