In the class 8 world, it will be brand new.
Not only will it be a new job skill to repair these things, , but there is also no manpower to learn it.
Developing enough torq to haul even 500 miles on batteries will be an economical hurdle to be seen.
As I see it, it will take at least 3 more trucks per load
One on the charger so when the other arrives it gets switched out.
This is not an EZ transition.
It will completely cause a reorganization of freight.
There will be no such thing as empty deadhead miles.
A whole new coordination of freight will have to manifest itself.
It will absolutely eliminate the few owner-operators left.
Plus the cost of these HUGE charging stations? It is not 120 ,220 or 440 to charge these things in a aloted amount of time , it would be huge power.
And Punk? You have no clue as to what you are dribbling over as per usual.
