Sample quote

To illustrate the point, Daimler had an eM2 at CES and Peterbilt had just unveiled its Model 220EV. According to the spec’s for both trucks provided by the companies, the battery capacity on the eM2 is more than twice that of the 220EV — 325 kWh compared to 148 kWh. That doesn’t mean one truck is better than the other, it only implies that the two trucks probably have different target applications.

Having double the battery capacity suggests the eM2 will be heavier and more expensive than the 220EV. It will have a longer range, but it may suffer from payload limitations as a result of the heavier battery pack. For the pickup and delivery applications with the eM2, Daimler is looking at a range of 370 km, while the spec’s provided by Peterbilt indicate they are looking at 160-km range.

It has to be a logistical nightmare as the battery tech keeps advancing. This much battery = this much payload at this much distance. I always wondered if locomotive tech would be more efficient. Run a small diesel gen. to charge the batteries or run the electric motors. I've ran those towable, 220V generators on the job 10-12 hours on 5 gallons with 30-40 guys plugged into the tem-power boxes...

Fiskar tried the motor->generator->electric drive train, but ran out of money, and they kept catching on fire (the fraud certainly didn't help either).

Allegedly the Tesla tractor weighs within 1000 pounds of a comparable diesel tractor, since the diesel engine/trans/gearbox sure aren't light by themselves.

As with any tech, the early adopters will pay more, but will advance the tech for the rest of us.

But like the article says, there are lots of short local routes where the truck will park at home base overnight, which would be easy to go electric on.
