Such motors have been around for a very long time--ever see a trolley bus or diesel-electric train locomotive? Traction motors are generally smaller than internal combustion engines of similar continuous power ratings (and require less in the way of a transmission, as well).

The thornier problem is getting batteries that contain enough energy for fairly long-distance travel while still being reasonably compact, lightweight, and affordable.

I am still waiting for Elon Musk's tractor trailer truck.

They will predominently be grocery getters that an owner can make a 50 mile run to a campground with hookups.

Truck plant.

I like the idea of an electric truck but until I can do a 500 mile day I'm not interested.

TY for posting this article.
