It's not a long-haul truck and has no plans to be. For short haul, however, it's so clearly superior to fossil fuels. Short haulers spend as much time in loading bays as they do on the road, and always return to a home base distribution hub. Retrofit those hubs with charging infrastructure, and you never have to stop your trucks for fuel--you can just plug them in as they load.

I don't expect to see long haul electric capabilities until high-capacity structural battery technology matures or until someone designs a truck with hot-swappable batteries and rolls out a nationwide feet services battery swap network.
