"There’s only one way to know if #ElectricTrucks can really replace diesel-fueled trucks: load them up with cargo, put them on the road and collect the data to see how far they can go.

That’s exactly what 10 freight depots in North America have been doing over the past two weeks. And so far, the data indicates that the latest electric medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks are increasingly ready to handle a lot of North America’s #freight-hauling needs."

@CelloMomOnCars I’m all for it but the need for batteries is insane. It’s basically why Tesla’s Semi can’t go into full production yet — no batteries. #WeNeedBatteries

This is the best argument for building out the rail network and electrifying that.

The rail network and the new upgraded electric grid could share the same right of way.

Trucking would be local only, for the last 100 miles. Truckers would have better lives.

But the shiny new toys, amirite.
