The alternative is to go all in on electric trucks. I’m not saying they should. Just because I am of the opinion fuck hybrids, doesn’t mean they’re not beyond being useful. Full diesel on the other hand, I think we’re beyond those.
The real alternative is to go all in on trains as electric trucks. Rubber on tarmac friction is so high that driving electric trucks long distance is super inefficient and giving them the batteries to match the ranges done by diesel trucks eats too much into cargo capacity to make them really worth it.
What’s the alternative? Demand perfection and remain in the status quo because there’s no path to achieve it?
