I'd really like to see where they got their info from. Where are they seeing 90% of loads are 500 miles or less because I know when I used to go on the road with my dad the minimum his loads were 500 miles. Also f the truck can go 0-60 in 6 seconds what type of load securement are they going to provide because I can see allot of loads shifting. Also them saying it can hold 60 up a grade but what about going down a electric vehicle doesnt have a engine brake so I see allot of brakes getting cooked. I can see this working for a local truck like other people stated but not OTR its just wouldnt be real cost effictive from what I can see. 50k more for a truck thats limited in range and fuel places just doesnt seem like a good idea.

They don’t have a jake brake exactly but regenerative braking, which is way stronger than any compression brake. It basically switches the motors over to being a generator and the current generated goes back to the batteries. Which is why Tesla’s will make awesome garbage trucks. Those guys alternate between flooring the accelerator and the brake pedal all day long.

There is indeed a whole lot of freight out there that doesn’t go further than 500 miles. Most everything Fedex, UPS and US mail do for example. Also, especially between distribution centers such as Walmart where on site charging stations could be placed. Walmart has been chomping at the bit to get rid of their drivers after the Morgan incident and driver wages lawsuit in Cali.

When it comes to long haul, coast to coast spot market trucks that stay out for weeks or months at a time; diesel will be king for the next 30 years or so probably at least. VW killed the small diesels the world over.
